Describe the rubbish removal job before you request a quote
A few quick choices help the team understand volume, access and loading before they price the collection.
What are you clearing?
Rough volume
These are approximate load descriptions, not fixed volumes or vehicle capacities. List your items or add photos so the supplier can confirm volume, weight and price.
Describe large appliances accurately
Give the type and dimensions of fridges and freezers. Lewisham's bulky guidance excludes American-style and double-door models, so check suitability before booking.

Compare outside collection with carrying help
Lewisham's bulky service requires items outside and does not help move them from rooms. Its household service is distinct from a privately quoted loaded clearance.
Check access to the bin chamber
If a block cannot leave items outside, agree a suitable accessible location with the building manager and collector. Include clear directions so the crew can find the booked load.
