Reviews of our Nationwide Waste Collection Services

"I recently worked with Waste Cloud Ltd to remove 51 fridges from the site for recycling, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service.

From start to finish, the communication and professionalism were excellent. Craig and Ross, the company directors, were extremely helpful and responsive, ensuring everything was well organised. Andrew coordinated the collection seamlessly and managed the pickup with their articulated lorry right on schedule.

The entire process was efficient, well-managed, and carried out safely and responsibly. It’s great to see a company so committed to sustainability and providing reliable waste management solutions.

I’d highly recommend Waste Cloud to anyone looking for a dependable and environmentally conscious waste removal partner."

George Magirescu from Maeve Contractors Ltd

"Good communication and efficient collection from 2 separate sites. The two men who collected the waste were professional and courteous—they arrived within the booked timeframe and assisted with the heavier items. Email communication during the booking process was speedy, efficient, and polite. I would recommend this company, easy to use and arrange collection."

Liz Doyle, Facilities Manager, Historic Premises Team at The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust.

"Asked for support from this company with very short notice after other national organisations were unable to assist. Their experience with the management of waste was exceptional and they followed all policy and regulation around waste management which was of massive importance to a company like ours. Quick Reliable and would recommend them to any organisation looking for any sort of waste removal."

Mark Purvis from the Environment Agency.

"Excellent. We had a number of fridges collected, the process was simple and the service was professional and prompt. We will definitely be a returning customer and would recommend."

"This company was easy to deal with from start to finish. They responded quickly with a reasonable quote, made no bones about what we added to the list, kept us informed about collection and the guys who collected were friendly, polite and efficient. We couldn't have hoped for better service and I'd recommend them for WEEE recycling."

Mr Richards, Homeowner.

"Managed to sort us a wait and load last minute. Turned up next morning on time and got us sorted. Spot on service. Highly recommend."

Steve Dytrych, Flagship Contracts.

"Very quick and efficient online contact enquiry service which led to a friendly member of staff with a reassuring understanding of the process and a huge amount of patience with me as someone not used to dealing with this type of collection. Very friendly customer service and collections personnel. Would highly recommend."

Kate Dagg, Farmer.

"Very prompt delivery and collection service. The driver kindly dealt with the access gates and secured the site after him."

Andy Slater, Homeowner.

"Booked a skip to remove small electrical waste and general business waste, the whole process was straightforward and we were provided with the waste carriers licence, their SEPA license and certificate of disposal. Will certainly use again."

Paulo Tavares, Landscape Gardening Company.

"We cannot give this Company high enough praise for the service they provided today. Craig was so pleasant and helpful throughout, giving us a bespoke service in that he bypassed the need to wait for a skip licence by arranging a cage lorry and 2 men. This was all completed in 4 days. He also retrieved some of the waste from 2 lofts which being elderly we were unable to do ourselves. The lorry men were equally pleasant and helpful, it was a treat to get good service. We would recommend the Company to anyone."

Kathleen White, Homeowner.

"Booked a 14yrd wait and load. Really good experience from start to end - Craig gave us a good deal and was helpful and responsive, letting us postpone the booking due to delays on our side, and driver of the skip helped us load the skip to maximise space. All round great experience and everyone very friendly and professional, would definitely recommend :)"
