No. Provided we can access the waste, and it is clear what materials are to be taken and what are to stay – there is entirely no need for you to be present. You will be notified by phone and email when the team arrives on-site and also when the job has been completed (including before and after photos of where the waste was located). If any problems arise on site, the team will call you to talk them through.

Our teams collect from anywhere on the property – inside or out. On average, 95% of the waste we remove avoids going to landfill.
Waste is passed on for reuse or taken to licensed commercial recycling facilities.
