We collect unwanted rubbish from homes and business premises in Bromley, from a few bulky items to the contents of a room, garage or property. Tell us what needs to go and where it is, and we will work out the collection details with you before arranging a visit.
Rubbish collection in Bromley, planned around your property
A spare room full of old furniture, bags left after a clear-out or a garage you can no longer use all need a slightly different approach. We start with the items you want removed, then look at the practical details: the address, where the rubbish is stored and how we can reach it. You do not need to guess a van size before contacting us.
Our Bromley coverage includes the town centre and neighbourhoods across the wider borough. We arrange collections for householders, tenants, landlords and businesses. If you are clearing a property before a move, our house clearance service explains the wider job. Send photos of the whole load so we can assess the contents together. We can then explain the appropriate service and what we need to confirm before booking.
Bromley postcodes and neighbourhoods
Bromley town and the London Borough of Bromley are different areas. The town is mainly associated with BR1 and BR2, while the wider borough also takes in Beckenham, West Wickham, Orpington, Chislehurst, Penge and Biggin Hill. Use the guide below to find the relevant part of our coverage, then send your full postcode so we can check your exact address.
BR1: Bromley town, Sundridge Park and Plaistow
For addresses around Bromley town centre, Sundridge Park, Plaistow and the BR1 parts of Bickley and Downham, include the building name or flat number as well as the postcode. If the entrance is behind shops or on a different street from the postal address, a short description helps us find the right collection point.
BR2: Shortlands, Hayes, Bromley Common and Keston
We cover BR2 enquiries around Shortlands, Hayes, Bromley Common, Keston and parts of Bickley. Tell us whether the items are in the house, an outbuilding or a rear garden. If the route includes steps, a narrow side passage or a long path, show that route in the photos too.
BR3: Beckenham, Elmers End and Eden Park
For Beckenham, Elmers End and Eden Park addresses, let us know whether we will use a private drive, a shared entrance or a managed loading area. In a block of flats, please check any access arrangements with the building manager before agreeing the visit.
BR4: West Wickham and Coney Hall
We arrange collections in West Wickham and Coney Hall. A list of the items and a clear photo of their location are useful starting points. If the job includes garage clearance as well as rubbish inside the house, photograph both parts of the load.
BR5: St Mary Cray, St Paul’s Cray, Poverest and Petts Wood
BR5 includes parts of the Orpington area, St Mary Cray, St Paul’s Cray, Poverest and Petts Wood. For homes, workshops or business premises, describe the load and the entrance we should use. For builders waste collection, identify the materials separately from general household contents.
BR6: Orpington, Crofton, Farnborough and Chelsfield
For Orpington, Crofton, Farnborough, Green Street Green, Chelsfield, Downe and nearby BR6 addresses, send the complete postcode. Some locations are further from the town centre or approached by narrower roads, so details of the entrance and space for loading help us assess the visit.
BR7: Chislehurst and Elmstead
We cover enquiries in Chislehurst and Elmstead. Tell us about gates, private drives and any restrictions at the property. For sofa and furniture collection, tell us if the items are upstairs or stored at the back of the building.
SE9: the Mottingham side of the borough
Parts of Mottingham use SE9, which is also shared with neighbouring areas outside Bromley. We check the full address rather than assuming that every SE9 property is in the same borough. Include the street name and any instructions for finding the entrance.
SE19, SE20 and SE26: Crystal Palace, Penge, Anerley and the Sydenham boundary
We take enquiries for the Bromley parts of Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood in SE19, Penge and Anerley in SE20, and the borough’s SE26 addresses around the Sydenham boundary. These postcode districts extend beyond Bromley. For flats and shared buildings, tell us the floor, lift arrangements and whether there is a separate rear entrance.
TN16: Biggin Hill and nearby rural addresses
Biggin Hill and parts of the southern borough use TN16. Please include a precise address and a description of the approach where a property is reached by a lane, gated drive or shared track. We confirm the collection arrangements for your location before agreeing a booking.
TN14 and boundary postcodes
Cudham and nearby southern locations can use TN14. Small boundary areas may also use a postal district more commonly associated with a neighbouring borough, including SE12 or BR8. If your address is near the edge of Bromley, send it to us for a check. A postcode prefix alone is not a promise that we can accept every load at every address within that district.
Which collection do you need?
You can describe the job in your own words. We will check the contents with you and point you to the relevant information. The pages below explain the individual services in more detail, including the kinds of items to mention when requesting a quote.
- furniture, sofa and mattress collection
- help clearing household contents
- garden waste collection
- garage rubbish clearance
- collection after building or renovation work
- rubbish collection for business premises
If the load contains a mixture of these items, include everything in one enquiry. Keeping the list together helps us assess the whole job. We do not collect hazardous waste, including asbestos, chemicals, paint or automotive fluids. Please identify anything you are unsure about before a visit is arranged.
Access, parking and collecting from inside
We agree where the items will be collected from before the appointment. Tell us if they are upstairs, in a loft, behind the property or inside a locked garage. For large furniture, a photo of a tight doorway or staircase is more useful than discovering the difficulty on the day. If dismantling might be needed, ask us about it when you enquire.
For a flat above a shop or a managed residential building, let us know about entry systems, lift access and loading rules. You do not need to publish access codes in an enquiry photograph. Simply tell us that access needs arranging and we can agree the details with you.
Let us know about parking bays, permits or restricted loading near your address. If there is a driveway, tell us whether it will be available. We need to understand the route between the rubbish and a suitable loading point when assessing the work. Keep items you want to retain clearly separate from those being collected.
What affects the price of a Bromley collection?
We look at the amount of rubbish, the materials involved and the work needed to reach and load it. A few light bags are different from heavy renovation waste, even if the piles look similar in a photograph. Stairs, the distance to the loading point and any agreed dismantling also help us understand the job.
The price guide below is a starting point. Send photos, a brief item list and your full postcode for a quote for your own collection. Please mention heavy items and anything hidden behind the visible load. We confirm the collection scope and price with you before the visit. If you add more items afterwards, tell us so we can check the arrangements again.
Why arrange your collection with us?
We make the booking around the actual job. You can show us the rubbish, explain the access and ask questions before agreeing a collection. We discuss the price and the items to be removed together, so you know what the quote covers. You can also combine different non-hazardous items in the enquiry instead of trying to fit the whole job into a single category.
Our service pages explain the options in detail, while this page helps you plan a visit in Bromley. We do not need you to move everything to the pavement before we have discussed the collection point. Tell us where the items are now and we will confirm what can be arranged.
A private collection or the council service?
We are an independent rubbish collection business. For routine bin days or a missed council collection, use Bromley Council’s waste information. If you only have a small number of bulky household items, the council also offers a separate booked service. Its arrangements differ from a privately agreed collection, so check the current conditions on the council website.
When contacting us, explain whether you need the items collected from inside, have several types of rubbish or are working around a move or property handover. We can then tell you what we can arrange for your load and address. We confirm available appointments when you enquire rather than promising a collection time before checking the job.

Bromley collection questions
Do you cover the whole London Borough of Bromley?
We take enquiries across Bromley town and the wider borough, including Beckenham, West Wickham, Orpington, Chislehurst, Penge and Biggin Hill. Send your full postcode so we can confirm the arrangements for your exact address and load.
Can you collect a sofa or mattress from a Bromley flat?
Tell us the item, floor and route out of the flat, including stairs or a lift. Photos of tight access help us assess what is needed. We agree the collection point and any preparation before the appointment.
Do I need to put the rubbish outside?
Please tell us where it is now. We discuss indoor access, gardens, garages and other storage locations before booking. Do not leave items on the pavement on the assumption that this is the agreed collection point.
Can I book several types of rubbish together?
Yes, include all the non-hazardous items in your enquiry. Describe heavy materials and electrical appliances separately so we can check the load and explain the quote. We do not collect hazardous waste.
Can you confirm a same-day collection in Bromley?
Ask us about availability for your postcode. We confirm a time after checking the load, access and collection schedule. A preferred date in your enquiry is not a confirmed appointment.
Are BR8, SE12 and TN14 addresses included?
These districts cross or sit near borough boundaries. Cudham uses TN14, while some boundary addresses use SE12 or BR8. Send the full address so we can check it individually rather than relying only on the postcode prefix.
