Recycle for Greater Manchester limits rubble to five 900mm by 600mm sacks a visit, from DIY work you did yourself. Lumns Lane and Boysnope Wharf take plasterboard from your own home. Vans need a free van permit, applied for 2 working days ahead, with 18 visits a year. A full strip-out often means several trips.
If a fitter did the job
Rubble or plasterboard from a tradesperson you hired is business waste and cannot go to any site. Ask the fitter to remove it as part of the job, and check they are a registered waste carrier.
Rough costs
| Load | Rough private price |
|---|---|
| Small load (a few bags and items) | £60 to £100 |
| Half a van | £150 to £250 |
| Full van | £250 to £400 or more |
A kitchen with units, worktops and rubble is usually at least half a van.
