What the weight allowance means. It is how much weight that price includes — not the vehicle’s limit. Household and office clearances almost never reach it: you run out of cage space long before you run out of weight. Soil, rubble, concrete and tiles are the exception, which is why dense waste is quoted separately.

The photographs are illustrations of volume. They show a typical load at each size so you can judge which band fits. Your own collection is priced on what you actually have, confirmed before we start.

Two or three photos is all it takes. One wide shot of everything, plus a close-up of anything heavy, bulky or unusual. We come back the same working day with a fixed price for that exact load — not a band you have to guess at.

Send them to our bookings address, by WhatsApp, or through the quote form. The price we confirm is the price you pay.

Also worth knowing

Every band includes the work

Loading, carrying, transport and disposal at an authorised facility, plus the waste transfer note a registered carrier has to issue. The figure on the card is the total.

Single items have their own prices, and some waste — fridges, freezers, air conditioning — always gets a photo quote because the disposal route sets the cost.

Full pricing guide

How accurate do I need to be?

Close is enough. Pick the band that looks nearest to your pile and we confirm the price before we start. If it turns out smaller than you thought, you pay the smaller band.

What if my load is bigger than a full load?

We do more than one collection, or more than one trip. Tell us roughly what is there and we will price the whole job rather than surprise you on the day.

Does the weight allowance apply to normal household waste?

Almost never. Furniture, bags and household clutter run out of space in the cage long before they run out of weight. It matters for soil, rubble, concrete and tiles, and that kind of waste is quoted separately anyway.

Is the price on the card really the total?

Yes. Labour, transport and disposal are included, and Dinkov Limited is not VAT-registered so nothing is added at the end. Parking, Congestion Charge or ULEZ where they apply to your job are shown on the quote before you agree, never afterwards.
