Licensed Waste Removal
At Go RubbishGo Ltd., we provide professional licensed waste removal services for domestic, commercial and construction-related waste across the UK. Using a licensed provider is not just best practice — it is a legal requirement. Our service ensures your waste is collected, transported and disposed of correctly, protecting you from legal risk and environmental harm.
Whether you need a one-off clearance or ongoing waste support, our experienced teams deliver reliable, compliant solutions tailored to your situation, location and timescale.
What Is Licensed Waste Removal?
Licensed waste removal is the collection and disposal of waste carried out by an authorised waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. Any business or individual that transports waste must hold a valid licence, and anyone producing waste has a legal responsibility to ensure it is handled properly.
Our licensed waste removal service guarantees that your waste is managed through approved routes only, with full traceability and compliance at every stage.
Who Licensed Waste Removal Is For
Our service is designed for anyone who needs reassurance that their waste is handled legally and responsibly:
- Homeowners clearing household or bulky waste
- Landlords and letting agents managing rental properties
- Businesses disposing of commercial waste
- Builders and contractors clearing sites
- Property managers overseeing multiple locations
- Facilities managers with compliance obligations
Whether the waste is small-scale or substantial, we ensure it is removed in line with all legal requirements.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Costs
Pricing is based on the volume and type of waste removed, not on vague estimates or fixed packages. This ensures a fair cost for both small and large jobs.
All charges are agreed upfront, with no hidden fees for labour, loading or disposal. This clarity allows you to manage waste responsibly without unexpected expenses.
Why Licensed Waste Removal Is Better Than DIY or Council Options
DIY disposal carries risk. Using unlicensed carriers or disposing of waste incorrectly can result in fines, investigations and liability — even if the waste is fly-tipped after collection.
Council services are limited in scope and timing. Our service offers speed, flexibility and full compliance, giving you confidence that your waste is handled legally from start to finish.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
Under UK law, anyone producing waste has a legal Duty of Care to ensure it is managed correctly. Go RubbishGo Ltd. is a licensed waste carrier and operates fully within UK waste legislation.
By using our service, you demonstrate due diligence and protect yourself from penalties associated with improper waste handling.
Recycling-First and Environmentally Responsible
We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible. Materials such as metal, wood, cardboard and electrical components are separated and diverted from landfill.
Only non-recyclable waste is disposed of, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining compliance and efficiency.
Trusted, Insured and Professional
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling waste safely across residential, commercial and construction environments.
We work to professional standards on every job, with clear communication, safe practices and dependable service you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does licensed waste removal cost?
Costs depend on the volume and type of waste, as well as access conditions. Pricing is based on how much space the waste occupies in our vehicle, offering a fair and flexible approach. All costs are agreed before collection, with no hidden charges for labour, lifting or disposal.
Do you offer same-day licensed waste removal?
Same-day collections are often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly useful for urgent clearances, inspections or time-sensitive projects. We will confirm the earliest possible attendance when you book.
Why is using a licensed waste carrier important?
Using a licensed carrier is a legal requirement. If waste is handled incorrectly or fly-tipped, responsibility can still fall on the original waste producer. Our service ensures full compliance, protecting you from fines, investigations and reputational damage.
What happens to the waste after collection?
Waste is assessed and separated for recycling, recovery or responsible disposal. Recyclable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible. Only non-recyclable waste is disposed of at authorised facilities.
How does licensed waste removal compare to skip hire or council services?
Skip hire requires permits, space and manual loading, while council services are limited and slow. Licensed waste removal includes full loading, immediate collection and compliant disposal, making it a safer and more convenient option for many situations.
