Very professional service. Sent EDW some photos via WhatsApp, and the price did not change on collection. They arrived on time and took everything as agreed. We will be using them again for future projects.

Our pricing starts from just £60 for smaller loads (less than a quarter truck — a few bags or odd items) and from £150 for a quarter truck load. We charge by volume, not by time, so you only pay for the space your waste takes up. Every quote includes labour, loading, transport, and responsible disposal — no hidden fees.
Do I need to be home for the collection?
Not necessarily. As long as we can safely access the waste, we can collect while you're out. Many customers leave items in the front garden or driveway.
What areas in Essex do you cover?
We cover the whole of Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Brentwood, Romford, Harlow, Grays, and surrounding areas.
Are you licensed to carry waste?
Yes, we are fully licensed waste carriers registered with the Environment Agency. We provide duty of care waste transfer notes for every job.
How quickly can you collect?
We offer same-day and next-day collections across Essex. For urgent jobs, call us directly and we'll do our best to get to you within hours.
Is rubbish removal better than hiring a skip?
For most domestic jobs, yes. No permits needed, no driveway damage, no waiting days for delivery and collection, and no heavy lifting on your part.
Are you the cheapest rubbish removal in Essex?
Honestly — we're not always the cheapest quote you'll get, and that's deliberate. Anyone offering suspiciously cheap rubbish removal in Essex is often unlicensed, and your waste can end up fly-tipped down a country lane. By law the responsibility (and fines up to £5,000) comes back to you, the householder, not them. EDW are fully licensed waste carriers registered with the Environment Agency, we recycle over 80% of what we collect, and every job comes with a duty-of-care waste transfer note. You get honest upfront pricing from £60 — better long-term value than any 'man with a van' quote.
