Get a quoteRubbish Clearance Balham is a local waste collection and area rubbish removal service dedicated to keeping Balham clean, tidy, and greener for everyone who lives and works here. From small flat clearances off Balham High Road to full house and garden clearances near Tooting Bec Common, we provide a reliable, friendly and environmentally responsible service tailored to the community we know so well.
Rubbish Clearance Balham was started over a decade ago with a simple idea: offer a professional, affordable rubbish removal service run by people who genuinely care about the Balham area. What began as a small local operation handling a few collections around Bedford Hill and Balham Station has grown into a trusted waste collection service covering the wider SW12 area and surrounding streets, from Nightingale Lane and Hildreth Street Market through to Ritherdon Road and beyond.
From our early days helping residents in local estates and small businesses near Balham Underground Station, our focus has always been the same: clear waste quickly and safely, respect our neighbours, and minimise what ends up in landfill. Over the years we have expanded our fleet, invested in specialist training for our staff, and built strong relationships with local recycling and waste facilities across Wandsworth and nearby boroughs, while keeping our roots firmly in Balham.
With more than ten years of continuous operation, Rubbish Clearance Balham has handled almost every type of waste collection challenge the area can present. We regularly work in Victorian terraces off Fernlea Road, purpose-built flats near Chestnut Grove, modern developments and local businesses around Balham High Road, and family homes near Tooting Bec Common and Wandsworth Common.
Our long-standing presence means we understand the practical realities of rubbish clearance in Balham: narrow streets, controlled parking zones, busy commuter times, and the need to work efficiently and respectfully around homes, schools, and local shops. That local understanding helps us plan jobs carefully so that your waste is removed safely, quickly, and with minimal disruption.
Rubbish Clearance Balham is proud to be fully licensed by the Environment Agency as an authorised waste carrier. This licensing is essential in ensuring that your waste is transported, processed and disposed of lawfully and responsibly. We always carry our licence details in our vehicles and can provide proof upon request, giving you confidence that your rubbish is in safe, compliant hands.
Being Environment Agency licensed means we follow strict regulations on where and how waste is handled. We do not fly-tip, cut corners, or use unapproved sites. Instead, we work only with recognised recycling centres and permitted waste facilities in and around the borough, including authorised depots used by Wandsworth and nearby local authorities.
Every member of the Rubbish Clearance Balham team is trained to carry out rubbish clearance safely, efficiently, and with care for your property and neighbours. Our staff live in and around Balham, which helps them understand local streets and landmarks such as Balham Library, Hildreth Street Market, and the busy junction at Balham Station.
Training covers manual handling, safe loading, sorting for recycling, and the correct handling of different waste types. Our crews are experienced in navigating tight access points commonly found in Balham properties, such as shared entrances, basement flats, and narrow side passages leading to gardens. We arrive in uniform, work tidily, and sweep up after ourselves, leaving your space as clear as possible once the rubbish has been removed.
The mission of Rubbish Clearance Balham is straightforward: to provide a dependable, affordable and eco-conscious rubbish removal service that truly serves the local community. We believe that looking after waste properly is part of looking after Balham itself.
Our core values are:
Respect for our customers and their homes or businesses, whether we are collecting from a flat off Ramsden Road or a shop near Balham High Road.
Responsibility for the environment, ensuring that we maximise recycling and minimise landfill.
Reliability in our appointments and timings, turning up when we say we will and working efficiently.
Honesty in our pricing and in the way we describe what can and cannot be collected under our service.
As a local rubbish clearance company, we take eco-responsibility seriously. We separate recyclable materials wherever practical, including metals, wood, plastics, cardboard, and certain electrical items. Our teams are trained to identify what can be salvaged and sorted before waste is transferred to authorised facilities.
We plan our routes to reduce unnecessary mileage around Balham, Clapham South, Tooting Bec, and Streatham, helping to cut down on fuel use and emissions. Whenever possible, we combine jobs in nearby streets, such as around Bedford Hill and Balham Park Road, to make our collections more efficient and environmentally considerate.
Rubbish Clearance Balham works closely with recognised recycling centres and licensed waste transfer stations serving Balham and the surrounding boroughs. By using established local facilities and borough recycling centres, we help ensure that as much waste as possible is diverted from landfill and processed responsibly.
We regularly transport sorted waste streams to approved sites used by Wandsworth and neighbouring councils, so that items from your Balham home or business are managed in line with current environmental standards. Whether we are collecting old furniture from a property near Wandsworth Common, clearing builders waste from a renovation close to Tooting Bec Road, or removing garden waste from homes near Tooting Bec Common, we always aim for the highest recycling and recovery rates we can achieve.
Rubbish Clearance Balham is more than just a waste collection service; we are part of the local community. Over the years we have worked with Balham residents associations, landlords, letting agents, and local businesses along Balham High Road and Bedford Hill, as well as independent shops near Hildreth Street Market.
We understand the importance of keeping streets, parks and shared spaces clean. Our team often carries out clearance work after flat moves, refurbishments and community events, helping residents keep areas near places like Tooting Bec Common and Balham Station tidy and welcoming. By offering flexible collection times, including early mornings where needed, we aim to support the busy lifestyles of Balham commuters and families.
