Local context
Why is clearing a Chertsey property more awkward than it should be?
Two councils share the job here: Runnymede Borough Council collects your bins and Surrey County Council runs the recycling centre. Neither route takes bulky items off a normal collection round, and the site at Lyne is shut on Thursdays and Fridays.
Runnymede states it plainly: bulky items such as white goods or furniture cannot be collected through the household collection service. Instead the council points residents at a recycling centre, at the reuse-charity collection it works with, or at other licensed waste carriers. That is an unusually clean gap — in most boroughs a sofa is at least an option on the bin round, and in Chertsey it is not one at all.
The charity collection is a genuine service and worth knowing about: £95 for one to five items, £125 for six to eight, a quote above that, with a £10 discount for people on income support or pension credit and everything left outside or in a garage on the morning. It works well for a handful of reusable pieces. It is not built for a house, a void or a strip-out, and the price does not change whether your five items are dining chairs or wardrobes.
That leaves the recycling centre at Lyne Lane, five open days a week, no pedestrians, and vehicles bigger than a car needing a county permit. Everything we do is priced from the same table instead, from £130 a quarter load, quoted from photographs before we book anything in.
Published prices
How much does rubbish removal cost in Chertsey?
Prices start at £130 for a quarter load (up to 250 kg) and rise to £390 for a full load (up to 1,000 kg), with loading and disposal included. A flat, a void or a garage is quoted as loads, not counted item by item.
Runnymede's bulky route is charged in bands — £95 for one to five items and £125 for six to eight, with anything above eight quoted separately — and it starts and ends at your front step or garage door. Once a job runs past a handful of pieces, or involves kitchen units, flooring or anything from inside the property, pricing by the load is usually both cheaper and simpler.

Services in Chertsey
Clearance services in Chertsey
Chertsey is really three places, and the work reflects that: a flat-heavy centre near the river, family houses in St Ann's and out at Lyne, and business space either side of Junction 11.
House Clearance in Chertsey
Out at Lyne, Longcross and Chertsey South 47.1% of homes are detached and 54.3% of households have two or more spare rooms — whole houses cleared room by room, loft, garage and sheds included.
Commercial Clearance in Chertsey
Serviced offices and units around Hillswood Business Park and Longcross Park, just off M25 Junction 11 — cleared around access hours, loading doors and whatever the licence hand-back date is.
Also available in Chertsey
- End of Tenancy Clearance ChertseyFurniture, white goods and everything a departing tenant left behind, cleared to a deadline so the inventory check and the deposit return are not the argument.
- Office Clearance ChertseyServiced space changes hands on short licences, so most office jobs here are a suite rather than a floor — desks, chairs, pedestals, screens and cabling out in one visit.
- Garden Clearance ChertseyLarge plots at Lyne, Longcross and around St Ann's Hill produce sheds, fence runs, turf and green waste — against a recycling centre you cannot walk into and that is closed two days a week.
- Property Clearance ChertseyRefits and voids in St Ann's, where 15.9% of homes are council-owned, throw out kitchen units, bathroom suites, carpets and doors — none of which Runnymede's household collection will take.
- Wait and Load ChertseyFor a part-load in the town centre: we pull up, you point, we load and go, and you pay for the space used rather than a fixed vehicle.
How it works
How rubbish clearance works in Chertsey
Photos first, a fixed price by the load, then a booked slot. Nothing is priced on the doorstep and nothing is measured in bin bags.
Step 1: Send photos or call
Message a few photos on WhatsApp, use the quote form or call us. That is enough for a firm price — no site visit needed for most jobs.
Step 2: We agree a price and a date
We confirm the load size, any itemised extras and the access arrangements. Open 7 days a week. Same-day collections available — call to check today's availability.
Step 3: We load and remove it
The team carries everything out, loads the vehicle and takes it away for licensed disposal. You do not need to be there if access is arranged.
Chertsey access note: tell us the floor, the door and whether there is anywhere to stop. A flat in the riverside centre with a shared entrance and a stair carry is a different job from a detached house at Lyne with a driveway, even when the volume is the same — and the difference is the loading, not the load.
Access and logistics
Collection access in Chertsey
Two councils, five open days at the tip and no pedestrian access. Send us the address and we plan the vehicle and the window before the day.
Lyne is closed on Thursdays and Fridays
The community recycling centre on Lyne Lane, KT16 0AR opens Monday to Wednesday 8am to 4pm and Saturday to Sunday 9am to 4pm — and nothing at all on Thursday or Friday. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve close at 2pm, and the site is shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. A midweek clear-out has to be planned around that.
You cannot walk in
Lyne does not allow pedestrian access — the site is vehicle-only, so carrying two bags up the lane is not an option. Vans, pickups and trailers can use it, but only with Surrey's vehicle waste permit, and the booking trial that once applied here has finished.
Which council is which
Runnymede Borough Council collects your bins; Surrey County Council disposes of the waste and runs the recycling centres. "The council" means two different organisations in Chertsey, with different rules and different prices, which is why the answers people get locally so often conflict.
What the bin round will not take
Runnymede states that bulky items such as white goods or furniture cannot be collected through the household collection service, and directs residents to a recycling centre, the charity collection or other licensed waste carriers. Kitchen units, bathroom suites and flooring from a refit have no council collection route here at all.
Business parks off Junction 11
Hillswood Business Park sits beside St Peter's Hospital just off M25 Junction 11, and Longcross Park to the west holds consent for over 850,000 sq ft of office space alongside a film, television and data-centre cluster. Both work to their own access hours and gate arrangements, so commercial jobs are booked as timed visits with the site, not just with you.
Licensed disposal, checkable
Everything leaves under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, CBDU435706, and you can check it on the public register before we load a thing. We do not take asbestos or hazardous waste of any kind.
Local property
Which Chertsey homes are we clearing?
One town, three housing markets: a centre that is nearly 40% flats, a St Ann's that is nearly a third terraced with the borough's highest council share, and a rural south that is 47.1% detached (Census 2021).
Chertsey Riverside is the flat market — 39.7% purpose-built flats, 22.8% private renting and 13.9% social renting. The clearances there are tenancy-shaped and block-shaped: two-bedroom flats emptied between lets, stair carries, shared entrances and a letting agent working to a date rather than a weekend.
Chertsey St Ann's is the older family stock: 31.7% terraced, 29.4% semi-detached, 27.9% of households owning outright and 21.1% renting socially, of which 15.9% is council housing. That mix produces two very different jobs — long-held homes cleared for a sale or an estate, and voids and refurbishments where the kitchen, the bathroom and the carpets all come out before anyone moves back in.
Longcross, Lyne and Chertsey South is the opposite end: 47.1% detached, 71.1% owned, 38.4% owned outright and 54.3% of households holding two or more spare rooms — the biggest under-occupied share in the borough's Chertsey wards. Those are whole-house clearances with a loft, a garage and outbuildings attached. Across the town, the River Thames Scheme's new channel between Egham Hythe and Chertsey is a live piece of construction; Runnymede Borough Council describes it as reducing flood risk for 11,000 homes and 1,600 businesses, and properties emptied ahead of works or repairs are ordinary clearance jobs.
Situations we are set up for
A riverside flat cleared between tenancies
An agent needs a two-bedroom flat emptied and swept before the check-in: sofa, beds, white goods and everything left in the cupboards. We agree a time slot, carry it down, and confirm the disposal in writing so the file is straight.
A council void in St Ann's before it is relet
Carpets, kitchen units, a bathroom suite and the contents left behind all come out together, priced by the load. None of it can go on the household collection round, and a five-item band would not touch it.
A detached house at Lyne being sold by an estate
An executor needs a family home emptied — rooms, loft, garage, shed and greenhouse. Papers, photographs and anything the family wants kept are set aside first, and the clearance is confirmed in writing when it is done.
Illustrative situations, not customer accounts. Every job is priced from your own photos.

Questions answered
Chertsey rubbish clearance — frequently asked questions
Answers for the riverside centre, St Ann's, Lyne and Longcross. Anything not covered here, send photos and ask.
Not covered here? Call 07857 647238 and ask.
Do you cover Chertsey, Lyne and Longcross?
Yes — the town centre and riverside, St Ann's, Lyne, Longcross and Chertsey South, all in the Borough of Runnymede. We work the Thames towns from Datchet.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Chertsey?
From £130 for a quarter load (up to 250 kg) up to £390 for a full load (up to 1,000 kg), with labour and licensed disposal in the price. A one-bedroom flat is often a quarter or half load; a detached house with a loft and a garage is usually several.
When is the Lyne Lane recycling centre open?
Monday to Wednesday 8am to 4pm and Saturday to Sunday 9am to 4pm — it is closed all day Thursday and Friday. There is no pedestrian access either, so you need a vehicle, and a van, pickup or trailer needs Surrey's waste permit before it will be let in.
Is Runnymede's bulky collection cheaper?
For a few reusable pieces it can be: the charity-run service is £95 for one to five items and £125 for six to eight, with a £10 discount on income support or pension credit. Above eight items it becomes a quote, and everything has to be outside or in a garage on the morning — so for a full room, a void or anything upstairs, a load price usually wins.
Will the council take a sofa with my normal bin collection?
No. Runnymede states that bulky items such as white goods and furniture cannot be collected through the household collection service, and points residents to a recycling centre, the charity collection or other licensed waste carriers instead. We are the third of those, and our registration is published.
Do you clear flats near the river and the station?
Yes — Chertsey Riverside is close to 40% purpose-built flats, so it is a large part of what we do here. Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and where a vehicle can legally stop, and we bring the right number of hands to keep the visit short.
Can you clear a rental or an empty council property?
Yes, for landlords, agents and anyone managing a property between occupants — contents out, floors clear, and written confirmation of where the waste went. We work to your date rather than the other way round.
Do you clear offices and units around Junction 11?
Yes — serviced office suites, workshops and storage units around Hillswood Business Park and Longcross Park. Those sites run to their own access hours and gate arrangements, so we book the slot with the site as well as with you.
Can you take kitchen units, a bathroom suite and rubble?
Yes, priced by the load with everything else in the property. This is the strongest reason to use a carrier in Chertsey: strip-out waste has no council collection route in Runnymede at all, and the recycling centre only takes it by vehicle, on five days a week.
Can you clear a property before flood-scheme works or repairs?
We clear contents and strip-out waste — furniture, flooring, damaged units and general household items — so repairs or works can start. We do not handle contaminated or hazardous waste, and we will say so immediately if something falls outside what a waste carrier is allowed to take.
Which council do I actually deal with in Chertsey?
Both, depending on the question. Runnymede Borough Council runs the collections and the bulky booking; Surrey County Council runs disposal and the recycling centre at Lyne, including the vehicle permits.
How do I check you are a licensed waste carrier?
Search our upper-tier registration, CBDU435706, on the Environment Agency's public register, and the company on Companies House. We would rather you checked before booking than took our word for it.
