About Cornwall Waste Clearance
A Cornish Clearance Company You Can Rely On
Cornwall Waste Clearance has been clearing homes, gardens, garages, lofts and commercial premises across Cornwall for over 14 years. We're a local team, based in the county, doing the work ourselves — no subcontractors, no middle men, no surprises.
Whether you're dealing with a probate property in Truro, an end-of-tenancy clear-out in Falmouth, a hoarder clearance near Redruth, or a builder's waste collection on a project in Bodmin, the same standard applies: turn up when we say, do the job properly, dispose of everything legally, and leave the property clean.
House Clearances
Full, partial and single-room clearances for every kind of Cornish property — Victorian terraces, granite cottages, bungalows, town-centre flats, converted barns and newer builds. We clear every room, loft, garage and outbuilding, sorting for donation and recycling before licensed disposal.
Probate & Bereavement
Clearing a property after a bereavement or as part of probate requires a sensitive, patient approach. We work with families, solicitors and executors across Cornwall, clearing at a pace that suits you, treating every item with respect, and providing full documentation for probate records.
Hoarder Clearances
Hoarder clearances need patience, discretion and a non-judgmental approach. We work methodically, room by room, restoring safe access and clearing thoroughly — always at a pace that feels manageable for the people involved.
Garage, Shed & Loft
The storage spaces that fill up over the years: tools, paint tins, bikes, old furniture, boxes, garden equipment, appliances. We clear garages, sheds, lofts and outbuildings completely, dealing with rot, damp and hazardous materials properly.
Garden Clearances
Green waste, old fencing, broken pots, timber, soil, and general garden debris. From a small courtyard behind a town-centre terrace to a larger plot on the edge of town, we clear it and dispose of it at licensed facilities with composting prioritised.
Rubbish Removal
General rubbish, bulky waste, builders' waste and rubble, commercial waste. Same-day and emergency collections often available. Every load comes with a Waste Transfer Note documenting proper disposal.
Man With Van
Sometimes you don't need a full clearance — just a van and a couple of hands. Small moves, single-item collections, trips to the tip. We cover the whole of Cornwall and can often be with you the same day.
Wait & Load
Popular for DIY clearances and house moves: we arrive with a van or truck, wait while you load your items, then take everything away for licensed disposal. Saves multiple trips to the tip.
How We Work
Clearance done properly comes down to a few simple things, done consistently well:
We turn up when we say
Every job gets a slot and we hit it. If traffic on the A30 or the Chyandour roundabout is going to delay us, we tell you in advance — we don't leave people waiting.
We give a clear price before we start
No vague "we'll see once we're there" quotes. We take the details over the phone or ask for photos, then give you a fixed price. If access turns out to be dramatically different from what we agreed, we discuss it with you rather than just adding cost afterwards.
We sort, recycle and donate where possible
A lot of what comes out of a house can be reused. We separate items for donation, recycling and proper disposal — and we tell you where your waste went. Reducing what goes to landfill is part of the job, not an afterthought.
We leave the property clean
Cleared means cleared. Floor swept, rooms empty, no stray items left behind. Whether it's a full house clearance or a single garage, we leave the space usable.
We do the paperwork
Every clearance comes with a Waste Transfer Note showing where the waste went, plus a full bank invoice for your records. Card payments accepted on the day. No cash-only arrangements.
Environment Agency Registered
We're registered as a waste carrier with the Environment Agency, which means every load we remove is disposed of legally at licensed facilities. We provide a Waste Transfer Note on every job — documentation that matters for probate, landlord records and your own peace of mind.
14+ Years in Cornwall
We've been clearing properties across Cornwall for over 14 years. In that time we've worked in Cornish terraces, converted chapels, harbourside cottages, Victorian townhouses, farmhouses and modern estates — and we know how the access, parking and layout of each affects a clearance.
123 Five-Star Reviews
Our reputation has been built one job at a time — more than 123 five-star reviews from customers across the county. Many of them are repeat customers, referrals from estate agents, or families who've come back to us for a second clearance.
Card Payments & Full Invoice
Card payments accepted on the day, with a full bank invoice provided for every job. No cash-only arrangements, no vague pricing — just clear, professional service from start to finish.
Fully Insured
Public liability insurance in place for every job. If you need documentation for a landlord, solicitor or estate agent, we can provide it on request.
Local Team, Local Knowledge
Our team lives and works in Cornwall. We know the narrow lanes around Chapel Street, the one-way systems in Bodmin, the resident permit bays in Falmouth and the A30 roadworks between Kennards House and Five Lanes. That local knowledge is what keeps a clearance moving.
