Prime Waste Services removes bulky, heavy waste from homes across Croydon (CR0, CR2 and CR7) using a grab lorry. If you are having a new driveway laid, an extension built, a basement dug or the garden re-landscaped, we can clear the soil, rubble, hardcore and green waste in one visit, with up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes, per load.

There is no skip sitting on your drive for a week and no skip permit to arrange. The crane reaches up to 7.5m depending on vehicle and site conditions, so it can lift waste from the front garden or over the wall while the lorry stays on the road.

Common home projects we clear

Often the waste is created by your contractor. Many driveway, extension and basement contractors book us directly, but homeowners are welcome to call us themselves.

What we cannot take

We do not accept asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals or liquids. We focus on heavy building and garden waste, not general household items.

Waste removal across Croydon

We cover the whole borough, from Thornton Heath and Norbury in the north to Shirley, Addington and Selsdon in the east, plus the A23, A232 and A212 corridors. Typical homes are everything from Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath and Selhurst to interwar estates in Shirley and Addington and larger detached houses in South Croydon. Our operating centre is in Croydon, so Croydon jobs are a short run from the yard.

Licensed, insured and documented

We hold Environment Agency waste carrier registration CBDU480663 (upper tier, carrier and dealer) and Goods Vehicle Operator Licence OK2066087. Our drivers are CPCS compliant, CSCS registered and DBS checked, we are fully insured, and a waste transfer note is issued for every load we take away. That paperwork protects you as the householder: it proves your waste went to a licensed carrier.

Frequently asked questions: residential waste removal in Croydon

Is a grab lorry better than a skip for my home project?

For heavy waste such as soil and rubble, often yes. One load of up to 20 cubic yards typically replaces several skips, needs no skip permit and is loaded in one visit.

Do I need to be home when you come?

Not always, as long as the waste is accessible and we have agreed where the lorry will stand. Call us to discuss access.

Why does a waste transfer note matter?

Householders have a duty of care to give their waste only to a registered carrier. Our transfer note shows the waste went to a licensed carrier, registration CBDU480663.

Can you take mattresses or fridges?

No. We do not accept mattresses, fridges, freezers, tyres, paint, chemicals, liquids, batteries, gas bottles, railway sleepers or asbestos.
