With only a few days to go until many of us finish work and spend some much needed time with friends and family, we’d like to make our customers aware of our opening/closing times for Christmas and New Year.

Our normal opening hours apply except for the following:

We will be closed every day from 2pm on Friday 21st December 2018 until 8am on Wednesday 2nd January 2019.

If you haven’t done all of your Xmas shopping yet, we hope you’re prepared to battle the usual throng of shoppers on London’s busy high streets but, if you’re still hard at work, we’ll be on hand right up until the 21st to clear away all your unwanted rubbish, either by skip or with our large capacity tipper trucks.

If you’re having a get together at home and the relatives are staying over, you may need to have a clearout beforehand to make some extra room. If that’s the case, get in touch quick to find out if we can still squeeze you in!

We’d also like to take this opportunity to wish all of our customers a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year and hope you all have a great time.

See you all in 2019!

However, this common view is now being challenged due to new claims that electric vehicles (EVs) may actually be more harmful to the environment than diesel powered ones. Read more

We just had to take a few moments out of our day to write a brief post about this snippet of good news. As the title suggests, the popular discount high street store Lidl has announced that it will no longer be selling any fruit and vegetable items in wasteful black plastic trays. Read more

In a bid to encourage Europe to reduce its ‘Carbon Footprint’, it’s now not permitted for retailers to replace their stocks of halogen lamps and bulbs. As of September 1st 2018, LED light bulbs will be taking their place, despite the higher purchase price. LEDs use around 5 times less electricity than their halogen counterparts, mainly due to the huge amount of heat they produce.

In energy rating terms, halogen bulbs are energy efficiency class “D” (which is bad) whereas LED light bulbs generally fall into the “A” class (which is good). Read more
