When it comes to rubbish removal in North London, there are a lot of choices out there. How do you know who to use? How do you know who will be the best for your specific waste removal needs?
In this article, we will discuss some of the things to consider when choosing a rubbish removal provider, as well as why we think you should use Junk Hunters.
When it comes to choosing a rubbish removal service, particularly if you live in North London, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Pricing and extra charges
- The type of rubbish removal services they offer
- Can they collect at a convenient time for you?
- Do they have a good reputation for excellent customer service?
- Are they appropriately licensed and insured?
- How they deal with your rubbish afterwards
Pricing and Extra Charges
Your first consideration will probably be cost. It is sometimes difficult to compare on a like for like basis however, as it can depend on how much rubbish you need taken away.
In addition, some companies will offer attractive pricing at first glance, but then add on various surcharges later.
Before you decide who to use for your waste removal, you first need to consider how much rubbish you need taken away. For instance, if you don’t have enough rubbish to fill an entire skip, then it may be more cost effective for you to compare services that will collect smaller quantities and only charge for what is actually taken away.
Alternatively, if you have enough rubbish to fill a skip, then you can compare the cost of companies who offer skip services, as well as those who collect in similarly large amounts.
When it comes to surcharges, it’s worth checking whether the companies you are considering charge extra for the following:
- Transport, labour and disposal charges: Is labour included and will you need to pay extra to have the rubbish responsibly disposed of as well? If you are using a skip, is the price of delivering and collecting the skip included?
- Congestion charges, parking fees or fines: Will they charge you extra for these if incurred? This is particularly relevant in North London, where parking and traffic congestion can be a problem.

Types of Rubbish Removal Services Offered
Rubbish removal companies can differ in the types of services they offer their potential customers:
- Some will only offer residential services, while others may only offer commercial waste disposal.
- Certain companies will collect your rubbish and load it onto a truck for you, others will expect you to load up a skip which they will drop off and then collect when you’re finished with it.
- A few companies won’t deal with garden waste and many companies won’t take hazardous waste away.
You need to find a company that offers the type of service you require within your area.

Collection at a Convenient Time for You
It’s no use finding a company that offers the service you need at a price you’re happy with if they can’t collect at a time that suits you.
When deciding who to use for your rubbish removal you need to consider how far in advance the service needs to be booked and whether you can wait that long. And you’ll want to find a company that fits in with the days and times that are convenient for you.

Do They Have a Good Reputation?
It’s all very well finding a company that promises you the world at an amazing price, but will they actually deliver? You’ll want to choose a company that is reliable and offers excellent customer service, so it’s worth looking at whether they have a good reputation in this regard or not.
The easiest ways to do this are:
- Ask for a recommendation if you know anyone else who has recently used a rubbish removal service in your area.
- Check online for reviews. You can look at the company’s Google reviews or check them out on sites like Trustpilot or Which?

How Waste Disposal is Dealt With Afterwards
It’s important to find out what happens to your waste once it has been collected. In many cases it is taken to a landfill. There, it is buried under layers of soil and other waste, where it will decompose over the course of years or even decades.
While this may seem like a normal way to deal with our rubbish, there are a number of potential problems associated with landfills.
First of all, they can leak harmful chemicals into the ground and water, contaminating both the environment and our own supply of fresh water. They can also release methane gas, which is a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Finally, landfills take up a great deal of space, and as our population continues to grow, we are running out of places to store our waste. As a result, it is important that we find more sustainable ways to deal with our rubbish.
By ensuring that our rubbish is disposed of responsibly, we can help to protect the environment and safeguard our own health.
Even if you’re not very concerned about the environment, you should probably still check out what a company does with your waste.
Some cowboy operations offer very cheap services but will then fly tip your rubbish. And if your waste has been fly tipped by an unlicensed waste carrier you are still responsible for it and are at risk of prosecution. As fly tipping is a criminal offence it will be treated as a criminal investigation and if the waste is traced back to you, both you and the fly tipper can be prosecuted.
