How a house clearance in Wakefield works
Start with a free quote tailored to the needs of your house clearance in Wakefield (based on the types and amount of waste, when you need it removed and where from). We’ll provide a no-obligation quote with fixed prices and labour costs included and can then book a time and date that suits you.
One or more of our purple vans and some of our professional team will come to the property on the day. They’ll lift, carry, and load up all your waste and items into the van, saving you the stress and hassle of the manual labour involved. Once everything is loaded up it’ll be driven to a nearby waste transfer station.
Everything is unloaded, checked, and sorted before being sent for responsible disposal. This varies depending on the items and their condition. Working appliances may go to a charity for reuse and donations, while furniture in poor condition can be broken down and recycled. Sofas containing POPs will be incinerated in line with environmental guidelines, but everything is diverted away from landfill.
Who needs a house clearance in Wakefield?
The 132,000 households in Wakefield can all need house clearance services at some point, whether moving home, clearing after a bereavement, or getting rid of lots of waste at once. Renters and homeowners benefit from the service to responsibly get rid of big items they can’t take with them when moving.
Businesses also need house clearance services in Wakefield. It saves time, effort, and money for landlords and estate agents to clear rented properties at the end of a tenancy. Solicitors may also need house clearances in Wakefield when probate is involved and a home needs clearing before it’s sold.
Some of the main times a Wakefield house clearance is needed are when:
- Getting rid of bulky items you can’t or don’t want to take with you when selling your Wakefield home.
- Clearing anything left behind by a previous owner or tenant when moving into a new home.
- Disposing of big and bulky items at the end of a tenancy that you won’t take with you, such as furniture and electricals.
- Preparing a property for sale after a friend or family member’s death and clearing out lots of items.
- Having a spring clean and disposing of many bags of waste or a few big items in one go (such as a living room suite).

Local recycling centres in Wakefield
Residents can dispose of all sorts of domestic waste at three household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) across Wakefield – Wakefield, Glasshoughton, and South Kirkby HWRCs. Each site has recycling containers for appliances, furniture, carpet, electronics, and other types of household waste. Bring proof of address or a permit to dispose of such waste for free.
Commercial waste is not accepted at any of these sites. That means landlords, estate agents, and other businesses involved in a Wakefield house clearance can’t dispose of any waste from such properties at these sites. They must use licensed waste carriers to take such rubbish to other waste transfer stations.
If you use a big vehicle such as a van, pickup, or minibus (or trailer larger than 6ft x 4ft), you’ll need a commercial vehicle permit. Only trailers up to 8ft x 6ft with a bed load of three metres can use any Wakefield HWRCs.
Wakefield Council provides a bulky collection service for households. However, it’s limited to up to three items at a time and currently costs £30. This makes it suitable for the removal of a few items but not for a complete house clearance in the West Yorkshire city.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday – 8am to 5pm (including bank holiday Mondays)
Saturday – 8am to 4pm
Sunday – 9am to 4pm

Donate furniture to Wakefield charities
Many charities in Wakefield accept all sorts of old furniture items as donations for reuse and resale. Sofas, beds, chairs, tables, and other types of furniture can be donated in person, or some offer free collection services. Certain items, such as cloth and leather sofas must have a fire label attached.
Donating furniture in Wakefield to charities or other residents is a sustainable choice. It reduces the amount of energy required compared to recycling old furniture and helps those in need. Some charities and other places where you can donate furniture in Wakefield include:
- Freecycle – advertise any type, size, and amount of furniture to other residents for free. Add collection required to save yourself the effort of delivering the items.
- RSPCA – the Wakefield shop and Animal Centre in East Ardsley accept a wide range of old furniture. Fire labels must be attached to some items, such as sofas.
- Wakefield Hospice – offers a free furniture collection service for homes in postcodes WF1 to WF6. Sofas, tables, chairs, and more can be donated.
- Salvation Army – furniture donations are only accepted at the Salvation Army charity shop in Outwood. Contact them to arrange your donation.
- St. Vincent de Paul Society – provides free furniture collection with all items taken to one of the nearby furniture depots in Leeds and Bradford.

How much does a house clearance in Wakefield cost?
Wakefield house clearance costs vary depending on the types and amount of waste you need removing, where the house is, and when you want it cleared. Smaller properties with fewer items and easy access normally cost less to clear than large houses with lots of waste to get rid of.

How long does a Wakefield house clearance take?
How long a Wakefield house clearance takes depends on the type, size, and the number of items that need removing. The size and accessibility of the property also affect how long it takes. Clearing a seventh-floor flat can take longer than a bungalow due to access, for example.
Our professional team work quickly to ensure minimal disruption to your day. We’ll send out the best number of vans and team members to ensure a quick clearance.
