If you live, work, or manage property around New Cross Road, you'll know that clearing a flat can be a lot more than "getting rid of a few bags.

If you have ever booked a rubbish clearance in Southeast London and thought, "That should have been straightforward," you are not alone.

If you are booking a clearance, moving out, or arranging regular waste pickup, the last thing you want is a problem with the law.

If your garden is full, the spare room is starting to look like a storage unit, or a renovation has left dust, timber and broken bits everywhere, it can feel oddly overwhelming.

If you've ever tried to move an old plasma TV, a dead office printer, or a chunky server cabinet down a narrow Woolwich stairwell, you'll know this is not the same as putting out a bag of general rubbish.

If you're dealing with an awkward old sofa, a sagging mattress, or a dining set that has finally given up the ghost, you are not alone.

If you live in a flat in SE1, hazardous waste can be awkward in a way that regular rubbish simply isn't.

If you are trying to clear out an old sofa, broken wardrobe, mattress, or a pile of unwanted household items, the rules can feel strangely fiddly.
