Clearing rubbish in Moortown

Homes in Moortown

Much of Moortown is interwar and post-war semis and detached houses, with front gardens, drives and good-sized back plots. There are blocks of flats near the Ring Road and around Moortown Corner, some newer apartments, and pockets of older stone and brick terraces. The houses generally have lofts, garages and sheds, which is where most of our work comes from. Families who've been in the same semi for decades often have a full loft and a garage that hasn't had a car in it for years.

Getting things out

Semis and detached houses here are usually straightforward: wide front doors, a drive to park on and a side gate to the garden. Lofts reached by a pull-down ladder are the slow part, and we hand items down one at a time. The flats are different. Some low-rise blocks have no lift, and long internal corridors can make for a decent walk to the van. If your block has a lift, let us know whether we need to book it with the managing agent.

Parking and loading

Drives make Moortown one of the easier areas to load in. Where there isn't one, residential side streets usually have room through the day. The Ring Road and Harrogate Road are busy, and King Lane and Street Lane can be slow at peak times, so we avoid arriving in the school rush where we can. Flats sometimes have marked bays for residents only; tell us if there is a loading area.

Typical jobs

Loft and garage clearances, downsizing clear-outs before a house goes on the market, and garden waste from mature back gardens are the bread and butter here. Flat clearances between tenants come up too. The nearest Leeds tip is Meanwood on Meanwood Road. Van and trailer users need a permit there, and trade or landlord waste isn't allowed, so tenancy clear-outs need a licensed carrier and a proper waste transfer note.

Services in Moortown

Rubbish removal in Moortown: questions

Can you clear my loft in Moortown in one visit?

Most lofts, yes. One person passes items down the ladder, the other carries them out, so it moves along steadily. Boarded lofts full of boxes, old suitcases, Christmas decorations and broken furniture are all fine. Insulation rolls are fine too, but tell us about any old water tanks or anything that looks like asbestos lagging, which we can't take.

I live in a flat in LS17 with no lift. Can you still collect?

Yes. We carry down the stairs, and we'll take larger pieces apart if they won't make the turns. Let us know which floor and whether there are fire doors on the landings, and we'll bring what we need. It all goes into the price we agree before loading.

Is it cheaper to take my Moortown rubbish to Meanwood tip myself?

If you have a car and a small amount, possibly. Leeds tips limit DIY waste per visit and need a permit for vans and trailers, and staff can't help unload. For a full garage or loft from Moortown, most people find it easier to have it collected. The council itself publishes minimum disposal costs, and warns that a quote below them probably means fly-tipping.

Do you take garden waste in Moortown when the brown bin is paused?

Yes. The Leeds brown bin service usually stops from late November until spring, and branches over 3cm thick aren't accepted even when it's running. We take branches, hedge cuttings, leaves and turf at any time of year. Tell us roughly how much there is and whether it's bagged.

Can you give me a waste transfer note for a rental in Moortown?

Yes. A landlord or letting agent clearing a rental is producing commercial waste, so a waste transfer note is needed and we issue one. It lists what was collected and where it went. Keep it for two years in case the council asks. The council tips won't accept landlord waste.
