Muckaway Croydon: Muck Away by Grab Lorry from Croydon

Prime Waste Services runs grab lorries for muck away (taking soil, rubble and spoil off site). They work from our operating centre in Croydon. One load carries up to 20 cubic yards, about 16 tonnes. Call 020 7167 8474 for a price on your job.

What does muck away include?

Muck away covers the heavy waste a building or garden job digs up. We take soil, clay, hardcore (broken brick and stone), rubble, concrete and green waste. We load it with a grab lorry, which is a tipper lorry with its own crane arm and bucket. Our grab lorries are fitted with Epsilon cranes.

Most of our muck away work in Croydon is for builders, groundworkers and garden contractors. They need soil and hardcore gone fast so the job can carry on. We also clear spoil for homeowners doing extensions, loft conversions, new patios and big garden projects. A grab lorry is often quicker than filling several skips, and it needs no space on your drive. Need materials too? We can drop off aggregates in Croydon or topsoil in Croydon on the same visit where the job allows. For bigger sites, see our site clearance in Croydon page.

Are You Licensed, and Will I Get a Waste Transfer Note?

Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier, and you get a waste transfer note for every load. A waste transfer note is the paper record of who took your waste and what it was. Keep it. If waste is ever fly-tipped, the person who produced it can be asked who took it away. Prime Waste Services LTD is registered at Companies House, number 14793814. Here is what we hold for our

Waste carrier: Environment Agency registration CBDU480663 (carrier and dealer, upper tier)
Operator licence: Goods Vehicle Operator Licence OK2066087, with 4 vehicles authorised at our Croydon operating centre
Paperwork for every job: a waste transfer note issued with every load we take
Drivers and cover: CPCS compliant, CSCS registered and DBS checked drivers, and full insurance

You can check these yourself. The waste carrier number is on the Environment Agency public register. The operator licence is on the Traffic Commissioner record. CPCS and CSCS are construction industry cards. They show a driver is trained to work a crane and to work on site.

What Can and Cannot Go in a Muck Away Load?

We take the heavy, dug-out waste from building and garden jobs. Our Muckaway services in Croydon cover:

Soil and clay dug out of footings, gardens and basements
Rubble, bricks and hardcore
Green waste, such as leaves and branches
Concrete from old slabs, paths and patios

We cannot take everything. These are not accepted in a muck away load: asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals and liquids. If any of these are in the pile, take them out before the lorry arrives. They need a specialist carrier, not a grab lorry. Not sure about something on your site? Send us a photo or call 020 7167 8474 before you book, and we will tell you straight.

How Does Muck Away by Grab Lorry Work?

Three steps, from your call to a clear site:

Book your slot: call 020 7167 8474 or 07778 541120, or email info@primewasteservicesltd.com.
On the day: the grab lorry comes at the agreed slot. Same-day and next-day collections are subject to availability.
Load and leave: the driver lifts the waste from the road, takes it away and issues your waste transfer note.

When you call, tell us the site address, the type of waste and what the access is like. A photo of the pile helps. We confirm the price, the right vehicle and a collection slot, subject to availability. You do not need to be standing next to the lorry, but someone should be on site to show the driver the pile.

How much does one grab lorry load hold compared with a skip?

One grab lorry load holds up to 20 cubic yards, or about 16 tonnes. That usually replaces several skips in a single visit. With skips, you fill one, wait for the swap, then fill the next. With a grab lorry, the whole pile goes in one go and the job keeps moving.

There is no box left on your drive or the road for days. The lorry arrives, loads and goes. That suits Croydon streets where there is no room for a skip, or where parked cars fill the kerb all day. It also suits waste piled in a back garden. Your builders do not need to barrow it out to the front. Not sure if your pile is one load or two? Describe it or send a photo, and we will tell you before we quote.

Can the grab reach over a wall, and do I need a road permit?

Yes, in most cases. The grab has a reach of up to 7.5m, depending on the vehicle and site conditions. It can lift waste over walls, fences and parked cars without the lorry entering your site. The driver parks on the road or on hardstanding (a firm surface such as concrete) and works from there.

You do not need a skip permit or a road licence for a grab lorry. A skip that sits on the highway needs a permit from the council. A grab lorry loads and leaves, so nothing stays on the road. When you book, tell us about the access. That means the road width, any low cables or trees, and how far the pile is from the kerb. That way we send the right lorry first time.

Which areas around Croydon do you cover for muck away?

We cover Croydon and the surrounding parts of South London and Surrey. That includes South Croydon, New Addington, Purley, Coulsdon, Sutton, Bromley and Sanderstead, and further out Kingston, Wimbledon, Epsom and Reigate. Our lorries leave from Croydon, so jobs across Croydon are a short run. For nearby towns, see muckaway in Purley, muckaway in Coulsdon, muckaway in Sutton and muckaway in Bromley.

How Much Does Muck Away in Croydon Cost, and How Do I Book?

We price each muck away job on a quote. The cost depends on the load size, the waste type, the distance and the access. Clean soil, mixed rubble and green waste are not the same job. Call 020 7167 8474 or 07778 541120, or email info@primewasteservicesltd.com, with your address, the waste and a photo if you can. We confirm the price, the vehicle and a slot before anything is booked. You can also use our contact form.

Can you collect the same day?

Often, yes, but not always. Same-day and next-day collections are subject to availability, so call 020 7167 8474 as early as you can.

Do you deliver topsoil and aggregates as well?

Yes. We supply topsoil, Type 1 MOT, ballast, sand and stone. Where the job allows, we combine a delivery with a muck away collection.

Does the lorry need to come onto my drive?

Usually not. The grab reaches up to 7.5m from the road, depending on vehicle and site, so it can load over a wall or fence.
