Clearing rubbish in Lawnswood

Homes in Lawnswood

Lawnswood is a compact, settled area of mainly 1930s and post-war semis and detached houses, with some larger older properties and a few flats. It's best known for Lawnswood Cemetery and crematorium, and for the busy junction where Otley Road meets the Ring Road. Gardens are a decent size, many homes have a garage, and residents tend to stay for years, which means fairly full lofts and garages. Clearances here are usually tidy, organised jobs rather than chaotic ones.

Getting things out

Semis and detached houses usually have drives and side gates, so we can work at a good pace. Loft hatches in interwar semis are often modest, so larger loft items like old suitcases or cots are brought down carefully. Garages can be long single ones attached to the side of the house. Few properties have many steps, so the main factor is how much there is. Flats are mostly low-rise.

Parking and loading

The Otley Road and Ring Road junction is one of the busiest in north Leeds, especially at peak times, so we time arrivals to dodge the worst of it. Residential streets are quiet and usually have drives or room at the kerb. Around Lawnswood School at the start and end of the day, cars and buses make some roads slow, so we avoid booking those slots where we can.

Typical jobs

Garage and loft clear-outs, garden waste from mature plots, and full clearances before a house goes on the market are what we'd expect. Old furniture replaced during a redecoration is common too. Kirkstall on Evanston Avenue is the nearest Leeds tip. It limits DIY waste, needs a permit for vans, and staff can't help you unload, so a full garage or house load is usually much easier to have collected.

Rubbish removal in Lawnswood: questions

Can you avoid the rush hour at the Lawnswood roundabout?

Yes. The Otley Road and Ring Road junction at Lawnswood is very busy at peak times, so we plan arrival for mid-morning or early afternoon where we can. If you need an early start, we can be with you from 7am. Tell us what suits and we'll work round it.

Do you clear houses for sale in Lawnswood, LS16?

Yes. Sellers often need a house emptied before completion or before photos are taken. We can clear everything, or just what you've listed, and leave the rooms swept. If you need the garage or loft done first, we can split the job. The price is fixed before we start.

Will you take bags of old clothes and bedding from Lawnswood?

Yes. Clothes, bedding, curtains and soft furnishings can all go. Anything in good condition we'll try to set aside for reuse. Cushions and beanbags count as upholstered items, so they go with sofas and armchairs for incineration. Mattresses aren't covered by that rule and go with the general load.

How do I know my Lawnswood rubbish won't be fly-tipped?

Check the collector's waste carrier number on the Environment Agency's public register before booking. It should be an upper-tier registration. Get a receipt. As a householder you can be fined if your waste is dumped by someone you paid who wasn't licensed; Leeds says its fixed penalty is £200.

Is there anything Lawnswood residents should keep out of the van?

Yes: asbestos, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, chemicals, solvents, oils, fuel, liquid paint and clinical waste. Large numbers of tyres too. Plasterboard is fine if kept apart from the rest. Fridges and freezers are fine; they go to a permitted facility. If something looks borderline, send a photo and ask.
