Clearaway offers reliable trade waste collections for businesses across Essex. With over 20 years of experience and more than 600 five-star Google reviews, we are a family-run company that understands what businesses need: a fast, consistent, and fully compliant waste collection service.
As a BSI Certified and Environment Agency Approved company, we handle all trade waste responsibly and in line with UK regulations. From small independent traders to large commercial operations, we collect a wide range of business waste types and make sure as much as possible is recycled or recovered. Whether you run a shop, office, restaurant, or construction business, our waste disposal services are built around you.
For businesses with larger or more complex waste streams, our commercial skip hire and grab hire services can also be arranged to support one-off or ongoing clearances.
The Why
Why Choose Us
Running a business means waste builds up fast. You need a collection partner you can count on, not one that lets waste pile up or leaves you worrying about legal compliance. That is why so many Essex businesses trust Clearaway.
We have been in the waste industry for over 20 years, and our family-run approach means you always get a personal, reliable service. Our clients across Essex know they can count on us to show up, collect their trade waste, and handle it properly. We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency, so you can be confident your business meets its legal duty of care under the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice.
We serve businesses throughout Essex, including Basildon, Chelmsford, Romford, and Southend. Our 600+ five-star Google reviews say it all. When you choose Clearaway, you get reliability, efficiency, and a commitment to a greener planet.
The How
How We Can Help
Every business is different, and so is the waste it produces. We offer a flexible trade waste collection service that fits around your schedule and your waste volumes, whether you need a regular weekly collection or a one-off removal.
We accept a wide range of trade waste types, including general commercial waste, cardboard and packaging, wood and timber offcuts, construction and fit-out debris, and more. For businesses producing scrap metal, our metal recycling service ensures that valuable materials are recovered and kept out of landfill.
Our team will work with you to find the most cost-effective and compliant solution for your waste. All waste collected by Clearaway is taken to our recycling centre, where we aim to reuse, recycle, or recover 100% of the materials we receive.

Large-Scale Trade Waste Disposal
Some businesses produce waste in volumes that go beyond a standard collection. For larger clearances, fit-outs, or ongoing high-volume trade waste, we have the equipment and capacity to help.
Our roll-on-roll-off skips are available in 20, 30, and 40-yard sizes, making them ideal for factories, large construction projects, and industrial operations. If you need material removed quickly from a large area, our grab hire service can shift soil, rubble, and loose waste fast without the need for a skip.
We are committed to handling all waste in the most responsible way possible. Any non-recyclable material that cannot be recovered goes to an energy-from-waste facility, meaning your business waste is used to generate electricity rather than going to landfill.
