Waste Guide
How to Clear a Whole House
Short version: furniture, carpets and clutter all go in, a few items carry a surcharge, and clearances take more space than people expect.
Which Skip Size?
Clearances are all volume and no weight, so bigger is nearly always right.

House Clearance Questions
Depends on the house. A one-bed flat usually fits an 8-yard skip; a full three-bed with a loft and a shed often does not. Ring us and describe the job. We would rather send the right size than have you ring back for a second one.
Yes, both, with a charge for each. Fridges and freezers are £100 each, because they need specialist de-gassing and recycling. Mattresses are £20 each, classed as controlled waste under rules brought in in 2023 and processed separately. Book them in when you order so the crew knows to expect them. Sofas and armchairs go in free.
Book at least 24 hours ahead and pick a weekday, because we deliver Monday to Friday. We won’t promise same-day miracles like some firms, but when we say we’re coming, we come. Book a day or two ahead and you’ll get the delivery day you want.
Up to 14 days, included in the price. Most local firms give you 7, so with Tiger you get double the time to work at your own pace without paying more. If you need longer, ring us and we’ll arrange it.
Skips must be loaded level with the top. An overloaded skip is dangerous and illegal to transport, so we can’t collect it, and putting it right will cost you extra. If you’re worried it won’t all fit, ring us early. Going up a size or adding a second skip works out cheaper than an overload.
