When to use a private firm
At £21.25 for five items, the council collection is good value, so use it if you can. A private firm makes sense when items are upstairs or inside, when you have fixtures, carpets, rubble or garden waste the council won't take, when you're a landlord, or when you have more than 10 items. See single item removal or house clearance in Coventry.
Too much, or the wrong stuff?
