1. Definition of Rubbish Clearance
‘Rubbish Clearance’ is the on-demand removal and clearance of movable waste from a site or property. The service is hasty (i.e. ‘Please clear my waste today’) rather than scheduled (i.e. ‘Please unfilled my basket twice a week for the next year’).
The expression is most normally associated with the clearance of Bulky Waste. But also includes ad hoc collection of excess wheelie storage bin waste.
2. Clearance by Hand or Machine
Rubbish clearance services are a process carried out by hand or machine. When a person lifts the waste and carries it to a vehicle. It is often called ‘handballing’, and the service is known as ‘including labor’. Rubbish clearance by machine is when a grab lorry or grabber has a mechanized arm. That scoops up the movable waste and puts it in the back.

Grabbers are generally only used for jobs with big amounts of loose earth and rubble. A digger that scoops and carries the loose waste into a container or close by lorry offers a similar solution. For smaller jobs, it is more normal for citizens to use wheelbarrows.
