We collect unwanted rubbish from East Dulwich homes and premises, including furniture, bags and contents left after a clear-out. We will review the load and the way out before agreeing the price and visit.
A clear-out in a home you still need to use
Unwanted furniture and boxes can take over a spare room without the whole property needing a clearance. Show us the items you want removed and keep those you are retaining distinct. We can assess the job around the actual load, whether it is one bulky piece or contents spread through several spaces.
Our furniture removal guide explains the detailed enquiry for sofas, beds and other large pieces. For a broader job, household contents clearance covers the service. You can mention both in the same enquiry rather than arranging separate discussions for every type of item.
SE22 and the East Dulwich neighbourhood
Lordship Lane, North Cross Road and central East Dulwich
SE22 is the main East Dulwich district, covering the neighbourhood around Lordship Lane and North Cross Road. If a flat is above a business, explain whether the entrance is on the main road, down a side passage or behind the building. Include the full postcode and flat number.
Dulwich Village and the SE21 edge
Dulwich Village and the western side use SE21. That is a neighbouring district rather than a replacement postcode for East Dulwich. If your property is described simply as Dulwich, send the exact address so we can locate the collection and discuss its access.
Peckham Rye, Nunhead and Forest Hill boundaries
SE15 meets East Dulwich towards Peckham Rye and Nunhead, while SE23 is used towards Forest Hill. Some everyday area descriptions overlap. We check these addresses individually and do not assume that all of a neighbouring district is East Dulwich. A street name and full postcode are the clearest starting point.
Furniture in conversions and upper-floor flats
Tell us which floor contains the items and describe any narrow turn, external steps or shared entrance. A photograph of a staircase can help us understand the work involved in taking out a large sofa. If a piece has been dismantled, include all of its parts in the item photos.
We agree the collection point before the appointment. You do not need to move heavy furniture downstairs simply to get a quote. If somebody else is meeting us, make sure they have the approved list and know which belongings must remain in the property.
Rear gardens and outdoor storage
A side passage can make a different route from carrying items through the home. Show us whichever applies and mention a gate, steps or narrow corner. Our garden waste collection information helps you describe outdoor waste, with plant cuttings distinguished from soil, rubble and fittings.
For a store full of household belongings, our shed clearance service explains the contents enquiry. Make clear whether you want the contents removed or are asking about the structure as well. We do not treat those as the same job without discussing them.
Preparing for a move or a property handover
Tell us the date you are working towards when requesting availability. We will check the collection schedule before agreeing an appointment. If a tenant, landlord or agent is coordinating the job, confirm who will provide entry and who has approved the rubbish list.
Photograph any separate bags behind large items, and mention rubbish in more than one room. A complete view of the load helps us quote for the work rather than discovering an additional pile on the day. Send an update if the contents change while you are sorting.
Why choose us for East Dulwich rubbish collection?
You can explain how the clear-out fits into the property: a spare room being reclaimed, furniture being replaced or an outdoor store being emptied. We discuss the rubbish and access together before agreeing the price. You do not need to translate the job into a van size on your own.
The guide prices below are a starting point. The actual assessment includes the amount, weight and loading work. We do not collect hazardous waste, including asbestos, chemicals, paints or automotive fluids, so tell us about uncertain materials before a booking is confirmed.
Request your collection
Send photos, the full postcode and your preferred date, with a short note about the entrance and where the items are stored. We will review the details and discuss an available appointment with you. Include any parking or building arrangements you already know about.

East Dulwich collection questions
Is East Dulwich mainly SE22?
Yes. SE22 is the main district for East Dulwich. Nearby SE21, SE15 and SE23 addresses need their full postcode checked rather than being treated as the same district.
Can you quote for a sofa that is still upstairs?
Show the sofa and describe the floor and stairs. We assess the route and any preparation before agreeing the collection.
Can I include rubbish from the garden as well as a room?
Include both in the photos and explain how the garden is accessed. Identify green waste and heavier materials separately so we can assess the complete load.
Do I have to know the exact amount in cubic yards?
No. Start with clear photos and a brief list. We use the amount, materials and access details to discuss the quote with you.
