MM Rubbish Clearance provides fast, friendly and fully licensed waste clearance in Highbury N5 — covering Highbury Fields, Highbury Barn, Blackstock Road, Highbury Grove and the streets between Holloway, Islington and Finsbury Park. From flats off Highbury Corner to family homes around Gillespie Road, we offer same-day collections, clear pricing and over 90% recycling.
Highbury is full of period terraces, mansion blocks and converted maisonettes. That means stairs, tight hallways and basements where old sofas, mattresses, fridges and cardboard quickly pile up. Whether you’re moving out, refurbishing or simply clearing space, our cage tipper van and two-person crew handle all the lifting, loading and disposal so you don’t have to.
Instead of hiring a skip (and worrying about permits and residents’ bays), we arrive in a booked time window, clear rubbish from inside your property and issue a legal Waste Transfer Note. You only pay for the space you use, making us ideal for Highbury households, landlords, estate agents and home-working professionals who want a quick, compliant solution.
Highbury falls under Islington Council, which is strict on fly-tipping and waste left on pavements. Using a licensed carrier like MM Rubbish Clearance protects you from potential fines and ensures your rubbish is processed correctly. Every job includes a Waste Transfer Note for your records.
Q: How much does rubbish removal cost in Highbury N5?
Most Highbury jobs fall between £150 for a ¼ load,
£240 for a ½ load and £450 for a full ton of waste.
Oversized mixed loads of around 1.2 tons are typically £540.
You only pay for the space you use.
Q: Can I get a quote by sending photos?
Yes. WhatsApp your photos and postcode to 07804 582 680 and
we’ll estimate your load size and reply with a clear price before we arrive.
Q: Are you cheaper than hiring a skip in Highbury?
For most household and light-bulky loads, yes. There’s no skip permit, no loss of
residents’ parking bays and no loading for you to do. We arrive, load from inside
the property and take everything away in one visit.
Q: Are you fully licensed and insured?
Yes. We are an Upper-Tier Waste Carrier (CBDU481527), fully insured
and compliant with Environment Agency regulations.
Q: Do you clear basements and upper-floor flats?
Yes. Highbury has many converted flats and maisonettes. We regularly clear basements,
lofts and top-floor flats – just let us know about stairs and access when booking.
Q: Do I need to arrange parking for your van?
If your street is in a CPZ, a visitor permit or loading bay access is helpful.
We’re used to working within Islington CPZ windows, but clear parking information
keeps the job running smoothly.
Q: Do you remove kitchens, carpets and light builder’s waste?
Yes. We can remove ripped-out kitchens, wardrobes, carpets, underlay and light
builder’s waste such as timber and bagged rubble. Heavy rubble is priced separately
due to tipping weights.
Q: Do you handle office and home-office clearances in Highbury?
Yes. We clear home offices, small studios and workspaces, including desks, chairs,
filing cabinets, IT equipment and general junk.
Q: Will I receive a Waste Transfer Note?
Yes. Every collection includes a Waste Transfer Note showing where your waste was taken.
Q: Do you take hazardous waste?
No. We cannot take paint, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, gas bottles or clinical waste.
We can advise on safe disposal options for these items.
Q: How much is a rubbish clearance?
At MM Rubbish Clearance, a typical clearance costs between £150 and £450,
depending on how much waste you have. Oversized loads are usually £540.
Q: How do I get rid of a large amount of rubbish?
For large loads, the easiest option is to book a licensed carrier like MM Rubbish Clearance.
We can clear full van loads, bulky furniture, DIY waste, garden waste and more in one visit.
Islington Council’s bulky service is limited and not suitable for full house or major clearances.
Q: Where can I dispose of bulky items for free?
Islington Council offers limited free bulky collections for certain household items, but
they won’t take everything and waiting times can be long. MM Rubbish Clearance collects
items the council can’t take and offers fast, same-day options.
Q: Do you need a licence to remove rubbish?
Yes. Anyone transporting waste must hold a valid Waste Carrier Licence.
MM Rubbish Clearance is fully licensed as an Upper-Tier Waste Carrier
(CBDU481527), which protects you from fly-tipping and possible fines.
