Services
Rubbish Clearance
We collect mixed waste, rubble, garden waste, and bulky items from homes, offices, and construction sites. Our small-access trucks handle loads of all sizes, ensuring efficient disposal at our licensed transfer station. Customers praise our punctuality, professionalism, and ability to clear properties swiftly while respecting their premises.
Skip Hire
We supply skips from 3-yard mini skips to 40-yard roll-on roll-off skips, with a 7-day hire period guaranteed. Permits are arranged upon request, and waste is processed at our transfer station. Competitive pricing includes delivery and collection, with discounts for driveway placements avoiding permit costs.
Recycled Aggregates
Our on-site crusher produces 100% recycled Type 1 aggregate, dust, and clean stone (10mm40mm). Materials are ideal for construction, patios, and paving. Recycled options reduce landfill and offer cost savings compared to quarried alternatives, with delivery available in bulk or dumpy bags.
Grab Hire
Our six-wheel grab trucks collect large volumes of waste, including rubble and garden debris. The waste is transported to our transfer station for sorting and recycling. The service includes a 10-tonne capacity and dimensions accommodating bulky loads, with collection times tailored to customer needs.
Garden Products
We supply screened topsoil (Grade A), compost, and mulch for landscaping and gardening. Products are available bagged or loose, with topsoil processed through a 10mm screener. Compost enriches soil nutrients, while mulch aids moisture retention, all sourced sustainably from recycled materials.
Questions
Do I need a skip permit?
A permit is required if placing a skip on public roads. Tom’s arranges permits for £80 (Bristol) or £85 (Bath), but skips on private driveways avoid this cost.
What waste types are prohibited in skips?
Plasterboard is strictly prohibited in skips due to hazardous content. Charges apply for non-compliance. Other restricted items include asbestos and electrical appliances.
How are aggregates priced?
Recycled aggregates are priced from £210 (mini skip) to POA for large orders. Prices include delivery, with discounts for yard collections and bulk purchases.
Can I drop off waste at your facility?
Yes, our Warmley transfer station accepts walk-in customers. Waste is weighed, priced, and processed for recycling. Tipping instructions are provided upon arrival.
What areas do you serve?
We operate across Bristol, Bath, and the South West, offering delivery and collection services tailored to local needs with a focus on environmental compliance.

Called to see if Tom's rubbish clearance would come round to help us with a lot of garden waste - really helpful and responsive. Could come within a few days, by which time we'd decided to clean out and dismantle the wooden garden storage unit too so had more stuff. It was no problem, really friendly and polite. Would definitely use again

Sterling job from the waste collectors - professional and courteous. Issue here is with the office staff. I booked a collection before 5pm, waste collectors turn up about 8pm. I gather that the office staff don't ask how big your job is (they didn't ask me), and so don't take this into account when lining up jobs for the team. So because there were a few large jobs before mine I got a very late collection. Basic stuff to ask how big a job is (could be 10mins, mine took about 2.5 hours) and then work out how many jobs the collectors can do in a day based on that.

Had a couple of skips over the years ~ 2 weeks at a time, 3 weeks by the time they eventually picked up, now the price is the same (possibly more) but you can only have 1 week not much use really

Absolutely amazing service. I was struggling to get a skip for the weekend after hiring out a digger . Toms managed to move things around and get a skip to me on Friday at a reasonable price. They managed squeeze my collection in for the Monday too... life savers! I would 100% recommend their service. Polite, professional & reliable 5* from me
