Landlords and end of tenancy
Leicester has a lot of rented homes, and clearing them is harder than people expect:
- Landlords can't use Leicester City Council's bulky collection
- City tip van permits are only for your own household waste. Landlord clear-outs aren't allowed
- Leaving tenants' rubbish on the pavement can lead to a fly-tipping fine
A licensed clearance company is the legal way to clear a rental. See also student move-out rubbish.
Clearing a home after a death
It's one of the hardest jobs there is. A good firm will work around you, set aside anything you want to keep, and handle the rest. Our guide to clearing a house after a death walks you through it step by step.
Can you do it yourself?
For a small flat, maybe. A city van permit gives you 12 tip visits a year (or 3 with a temporary permit), with limits on kitchens, doors and rubble. For a full house, that usually isn't enough, and you'd still have to carry everything. See the van permit guide.
