From clearing out to collection: Here’s what to expect

Expert planning

With over 40 years of know-how, our clearance specialists will handle the planning for you. We will assess your site, organise logistics and ensure a smooth, efficient and eco-friendly clearance from start to finish.

Flexible scheduling

We plan your collections around your operations. Whether you need a one-off clearance, phased removal or an out-of-hours service, we will make sure your service happens with minimal disruption

Our trained operatives take care of all the lifting, loading and transport. You avoid manual handling risks and maintain a safe site while giving your team more time to focus on their work.

Printwaste has a broad fleet of collection vehicles and range of bulk containers that allows us to respond quickly to emergency clearance demands, manage regular collections of niche or hard-to-handle items, and support one-off requirements.

We don’t skip on sustainability either. Printwaste takes full responsibility for ensuring your redundant, ad-hoc, and specialist waste is handled through the most environmentally responsible routes available. Working closely with our network of approved partners, we guarantee 100% recovery, reuse, or recycling of all materials collected—helping your business meet its environmental commitments while keeping operations running smoothly.

How our office clearances service works

Step 1
Consultation

Tell us about the clearance items you have for collection, and where these are located, or book a free waste audit with one of our experts at a time convenient to you. We will then send you a bespoke proposal tailored to your requirements, showcasing how and where we can add value.

Step 2
Container delivery

On a scheduled date, containers will be delivered to your site in advance of the planned clearance. This approach is used for larger-scale projects that go beyond the scope of our man-in-a-van service.

Step 2
Collection

We will collect according to your schedule and transport your paper waste back to our Materials Recycling Facility.

Step 3
Documentation

Post-collection, you will receive a Waste Transfer Note to keep you compliant with all relevant waste regulations, and a Certificate of Destruction for any confidential items.

Step 4
Recycling

All items collected on the day will be sorted back at our Materials Recovery Facility and re-used, recycled or recovered. Confidential items will be shredded within 24 hours of arrival at the depot.
