Man and van Old Swan, waste and furniture cleared same day
Liverpool’s Man and Van Service provides waste removal Old Swan residents can book any hour of the day. We work across L13 and the neighbouring districts, clearing household rubbish, furniture, appliances and garden waste. We do the lifting, load the van and dispose of everything legally. Most jobs are collected the same day.
Rubbish Removal Liverpool
Why Old Swan calls us instead of driving to the tip
Most waste removal Old Swan jobs start at the tip. Old Swan Household Waste Recycling Centre sits on Cheadle Avenue, L13 3AF, minutes from most homes here. It is free for household waste. But if you plan to arrive in a van, whether hired or your own, you must book an appointment first.
That catches people out constantly. Somebody borrows a van on a Saturday, drives to Cheadle Avenue, and gets turned away because there is no booking. Then the van goes back with the sofa still in it.
There are two other limits worth knowing. The site is for household waste only, so commercial and trade waste may be charged. And queues build near closing time, when staff stop letting additional vehicles join.
We are the alternative when the tip does not fit. No appointment, no queue, no borrowing a van, and no lifting. If your load is small, a car boot and a free trip to Cheadle Avenue is genuinely cheaper. We will tell you that rather than take a booking you did not need.
Waste removal Old Swan, what we clear across L13
We clear almost anything non-hazardous from homes, gardens, flats and business premises across L13. That covers furniture, white goods, general household rubbish, garden waste and renovation debris. We cannot take asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles or clinical waste, which need a specialist licensed contractor.
Most common jobs in this area:
- Single bulky items such as sofas, mattresses, wardrobes and fridges
- Full or partial house clearances, including lofts, cellars and garages
- Garden waste from the long back gardens common on the terraced streets here
- End of tenancy clearances for the rental properties around Derby Lane and Prescot Road
- Renovation waste, including old kitchens, bathroom suites, rubble and plasterboard
- Shop and office clearouts along the Prescot Road parade
For a full property rather than selected items, our house clearance service is priced by volume and usually works out better. For moving items rather than disposing of them, see our man with a van service.

Rubbish removal Old Swan, what it costs
Price depends on how much goes in the van and what the items are, not on how long we are there. We quote before booking, and the agreed figure does not change on the day. Quotes are free, and there is no callout charge.
Four things move the price on a rubbish removal Old Swan job:
- Volume: A single mattress costs far less than a garage clear-out.
- Item type: Fridges, upholstered sofas, mattresses and tyres carry separate disposal fees because the law requires separate processing.
- Access: Upstairs flats above the Prescot Road shops, or a long carry from a back garden, adds time.
- Sorting: Mixed rubble and household waste costs more than two separate piles.
Ask any operator for their waste carrier registration number before they load. Under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you stay responsible for your waste even after someone drives away with it. If it turns up fly-tipped, the fine is yours.
You can check any carrier on the Environment Agency public register.
Access and parking on Old Swan streets
Waste removal Old Swan means working around Victorian and Edwardian terraces with no driveways, seven days a week and narrow front doors. We plan the route into a property before arriving rather than working it out on the doorstep. Tell us the floor and the parking situation when you call.
Three things that genuinely affect a job here:
Back jiggers. The alleys behind the terraced streets are too tight for a van. We park on the street and carry through the house or along the jigger on foot.
Prescot Road flats. Many of the flats above the shops have steep, narrow staircases with tight turns. Large three-seater sofas sometimes will not make the bend. Measure the doorway and the turn before booking.
Derby Lane parking. It gets busy through the day around the shops. Early morning and evening slots are easier, and we run both.
How quickly can you get here?
We run waste removal Old Swan collections 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including bank holidays. Most same-day requests in L13 are collected within a few hours of the call. Evening and overnight collections are available, which suit tenancy deadlines and shop work that cannot stop during trading hours.
Weekend slots fill faster than weekdays. A day’s notice usually gets you a tighter time window.
Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to use the tip on Cheadle Avenue?
For a small load you can fit in a car, yes. Old Swan Household Waste Recycling Centre is free for household waste. But you must book an appointment to arrive in a van, it takes commercial waste only with charges, and you do the lifting. For anything bulky or upstairs, a collection usually works out better.
Do you cover Stoneycroft and Knotty Ash?
Yes. Our waste removal Old Swan service covers all the districts bordering Old Swan, including Stoneycroft, Knotty Ash, Broadgreen, Fairfield and Wavertree, plus Tuebrook, West Derby and Dovecot. Pricing is the same across L13 and the neighbouring postcodes. Call and tell us the street.
Can you take a sofa from an upstairs flat?
Yes. Two people handle any bulky item, so nothing needs bringing down first. The one thing to check is the staircase. Older flats around Prescot Road have tight turns, and some three-seaters will not fit. Measure the narrowest point and tell us when you book.
Do I need to be home for the collection?
No, provided the items are accessible and the price is agreed beforehand. Landlords and letting agents in this area book this way regularly. We send photos of the cleared space and take payment remotely. Items must be somewhere we can reach without entering a locked property.
How is house clearance L13 priced?
House clearance L13 jobs are priced by volume rather than by room or by hour. A part clearance of a loft and garage costs less than a full property. We look at the property first for larger jobs, which is free. The quoted figure is fixed before we start.
