Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you post your first job

Is there a fee to use RubbishBids?

No. RubbishBids is completely free for customers. You pay the carrier directly for the collection — there's no platform fee, no commission, and no hidden charges.

What types of waste can I get collected?

Most types of non-hazardous waste: construction and demolition waste, garden waste, bulky household items, mixed rubbish, soil and hardcore, and more. Hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals, etc.) require specialist handling and are not covered.

How quickly will I get bids?

Most jobs receive their first bid within 5–15 minutes during business hours (Mon–Fri 8am–6pm). Jobs posted in the evening or at weekends will typically receive bids the following morning.

Are the carriers insured and licensed?

Yes. Every carrier on RubbishBids holds a valid Environment Agency waste carrier licence. We verify this before allowing any carrier to receive jobs on our platform.

Do I get a waste transfer note?

Yes. Your carrier will provide a waste transfer note (duty of care documentation) confirming legal disposal. Keep this for your records — it's a legal requirement for commercial waste.

What if I'm not happy with the bids I receive?

You're under no obligation to accept any bid. If the prices don't suit you, simply don't respond. There's no commitment until you agree a price directly with a carrier.
