Why hire a waste collection & disposal expert through Airtasker?

Proper waste disposal requires more than simply tossing everything into one bin. Carelessly handling your rubbish can harm the environment and pose health risks. For instance, your old batteries and leftover cleaners can pollute soil and seep into the groundwater. Organic waste left to decompose attracts pests and rodents, which can spread disease. More importantly, throwing away reusable items is a waste of valuable resources!

If you need to clear out home or office waste but lack time for thorough sorting, you can reap more benefits by hiring an established waste collection and disposal service. Can’t find a reliable and affordable waste disposal near you? Make the experience a lot smoother by posting on Airtasker to connect with top-rated collectors! Review their profiles, see customer reviews, and compare quotes from qualified Taskers. You can even arrange same-day waste collection and disposal services, depending on your Tasker’s availability!

Top Waste Collection & Disposal related questions

Taskers are equipped to tackle recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, and metal. They can also manage bulky waste items such as tyres, carpets, and large household items.

Your Tasker can handle anything from small amounts of waste, like a single bag of food scraps, to larger loads that require a van for removal. Provide these specifics in your Airtasker listing to hire waste collectors with the appropriate vehicles and equipment for the job.

Check their experience in handling construction waste, which can be verified through their past task history and customer reviews. Look for Taskers with the necessary equipment, such as vans or lorries, that are suitable for transporting bulky materials like concrete or bricks. Also, ensure that Taskers are familiar with local regulations and hold any necessary licences for construction waste disposal.

You can typically book a waste collection and disposal service within minutes, depending on the availability of qualified Taskers. You can even schedule same-day collection.

Waste collection specialists typically take waste to recycling facilities, landfills, or incineration plants. Some types of waste, like food waste and garden waste, can be processed into compost. There are also specific facilities for e-waste. The destination depends on the type of waste being collected. 

Typically, furniture removal is booked as a separate service, which you can also find on Airtasker. However, you may request a custom service from your waste collection specialist to include furniture removal if they can accommodate it. 

Unfortunately, no. Disposing of hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, gases, pesticides, and paint is typically restricted to authorities in many countries. These substances pose serious threats to public health and the environment. Some are highly reactive and can even cause fires, explosions, or corrosion of metals. For safe and proper disposal, contact a hazardous waste processing facility specialising in these materials.

What do waste collection & disposal services include?

Waste can create substantial sanitation issues. Beyond the unpleasant odours and unsightly mess, it can lead to serious health risks if not properly managed.

Learn more about the services you can request:


Household waste collection

Residential waste can accumulate from daily activities quite fast. Keep your home neat and well-maintained by getting regularly serviced for household waste disposal near you. Waste collectors can remove general rubbish such as plastic packaging, old car tyres, broken furniture, outdated clothing, and other worn-out items. They also accept recyclables, including paper, cardboard, glass bottles, and metal cans.


If you require assistance with disposing of old furniture, mattresses, or appliances like fridges and washing machines, Airtasker can connect you with specialised removal experts available to help.


Garden waste collection

Need a hand with tidying up your garden or clearing debris after a storm? Book a local garden waste removal service to keep your garden healthy and free from pests. Waste collectors can take care of green waste like grass cuttings, leaves, hedge trimmings, weeds, and dead plants. They also address larger items such as tree stumps, logs, and big branches. 


If you prefer exploring a greener alternative to simply sending your garden waste to the dump, hire Taskers who can turn it into compost or mulch.


Food waste disposal

Improper disposal of organic kitchen waste not only leads to odour issues and pest infestations. It also contributes to harmful greenhouse gases. Prevent these problems by enlisting waste disposal near you to transport your waste to a local food recycling centre. Waste collectors can gather kitchen scraps such as vegetable peelings and fruit leftovers, and manage items like expired food, uneaten meals, and spoiled groceries. They also accept compostable materials like eggshells, tea bags, and coffee grounds responsibly.


Commercial waste collection

When it comes to offices, retail stores, and other commercial spaces, waste can quickly build up. Connect with waste management services to keep your workplace clutter-free. They handle office waste like paper, cardboard, and packaging materials, as well as electronic waste such as computers and printers. Once you've cleared out, enhance your workspace even further by booking a cleaning service via Airtasker.


Building waste disposal

If you've just finished a building or renovation project, consider booking a building waste disposal near you to swiftly clear your space. This service covers the removal of materials like concrete, bricks, wood, and metal scraps. Specialists aim to ensure the construction sites remain tidy and safe, disposing of materials per environmental guidelines.

Removal of sofa and some garden/building waste

Tottenham, Greater London, N15

21st Nov 2025

rubbish collection, either today or tomorrow. To collect: 1 sofa, and some assorted garden/building waste. Mainly in bags/small boxes. Nothing particularly heavy- some pieces of timber, a few extra tiles etc. See attached pictures. The waste is piled on a wooden planter, so is less overall volume than it appears. Waste is piled in a front garden, and I'd expect could be loaded by 2 people in 5 minutes or less

Soufiane is charming. He arrived on time, completed the task quickly and diligently and communicated clearly. Thank you Soufiane!
