The awkward stuff in your garage

Garages collect items that most clearance crews cannot legally take: asbestos sheeting, gas bottles, fuel, oil, solvents, pesticides and full tins of paint. Car batteries and tyres are often accepted for an extra fee. Ask each firm for its list before it arrives, so nothing is left behind on the day.

Hazardous household items can usually go to a council household waste recycling centre, many of which take car batteries, engine oil and gas bottles free from residents. For asbestos, use a licensed specialist. Council bulky waste collections in Newcastle: Newcastle City Council charges £10 per large item, £20 for up to eight small items, £40 for a heavy item and £70 for a special large item, booked online. See the details.

Before you book a garage clearance in Newcastle

Kennedy's House Clearance starts clearances from £60 with photo estimates. Others quote individually.

  • Ask for the firm's waste carrier number and check it on the Environment Agency public register. If an unlicensed collector fly-tips your waste, you can be fined.
  • Send photos of the whole garage, including the back and any lofts or shelving, and get a written price before the van arrives.
  • Ask what it will not take, such as paint, oil, gas bottles, tyres, batteries or asbestos, and what any extras cost.
  • Take out anything you want to keep, sell or give away first, including tools and bikes that local charities or schemes may want.
  • Check access: can the van reach the garage door, and is anything blocking it?
  • Ask for a waste transfer note or receipt naming the company and its carrier number.

Garage clearance in Newcastle / FAQs

How much does a garage clearance cost in Newcastle?

Kennedy's House Clearance starts clearances from £60 with photo estimates. Others quote individually. A typical single garage takes between a quarter and a full van load. Heavy items such as rubble, metal and old appliances, and awkward items such as tyres, can add to the price. Always compare at least two written quotes.

What can a garage clearance team not take?

Most crews cannot take asbestos, gas bottles, fuel, oil, solvents, chemicals or full tins of paint, because these need a licence to carry or a specialist disposal route. Tyres, car batteries and fridges are often taken for an extra charge. Ask each firm for its list before booking.

Is a garage clearance cheaper than a skip?

For a single garage, a clearance crew is often similar in price or cheaper once you count the labour, any permit and the items a skip cannot take. For a garage being knocked down, or mostly rubble, a skip is usually better value. See our skip hire rankings for Newcastle.

Can the council take my garage junk?

Newcastle City Council charges £10 per large item, £20 for up to eight small items, £40 for a heavy item and £70 for a special large item, booked online. Most council recycling centres also accept car batteries, engine oil and small amounts of DIY waste from residents.
