Man in a Van Service

March 10, 2014

One way out of your plight is to find a competent Man in a Van Service.

With rogue traders, issues around over-charging and uncertainty over what types of waste a Man in a Van Service can take, that’s easier said than done – unfortunately. So:

How – and where – do I find a Man in a Van Service?

You can try Google or other internet-based searches, such as that at www.anyvan.com; look in local newspapers and magazines for relevant advertisements, or ask your friends and neighbours to recommend a Man in a Van Service they’ve used.

How much will it cost?

It depends. It depends – among other things – on what you want moved; how far you want it moved; how difficult the job is, and how far the Man in a Van has to travel to do it.

When negotiating a fee, you should describe exactly the job you want done – and you should bear in mind that, if you want the service to get rid of some rubbish for you, most disposal and refuse sites charge businesses and sole traders for disposing rubbish there, so the Man in a Van will want you to pay that charge too.

How do I ensure my Man in a Van isn’t a rogue trader?

It’s not difficult to get a van and then advertise that you offer waste disposal services. Choosing someone at random increases the chances of you finding a rogue trader. Rogue traders tend to operate illegally and use illegal and dangerous waste disposal methods (such as fly tipping).

One way of checking that your Man in a Van isn’t a rogue trader is to ask him for his Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) certificate and details of his public liability insurance. The CRB certificate will tell you whether the Man has a criminal record. The insurance details should reassure you that, if any damage is caused to your property while the job is being done, the Man has the appropriate insurance cover to pay for the damage.

You should also ensure that the Man is licensed by the Environment Agency to carry waste – if he’s going to be taking away waste from your property. Ask for the Man’s waste carrier licence number – and then check it on the Environment Agency’s website.

Are there other options?

Yes there are – and hiring a skip is not the only other option. To discuss these options, contact Waste King on:

Freephone: 0800 141 2778 or, from a mobile, call 01442 210034.

Waste King’s Man in a Van Service ensures that all your unwanted waste – from anywhere on the property – is loaded onto a Waste King truck with the minimum of hassle. Waste King’s insured and licensed teams even explain to you what they’re going to do before they load the waste. Afterwards, they sweep up after themselves too!

Everything that Waste King collects is disposed of responsibly. Moreover, more than 95% of all the waste we collect does not go to landfill. It’s recycled – which is more helpful for the environment.

Compared with a skip hire service, Waste King’s Man in a Van service benefits you because,:

1. We only charge for the space that’s filled in our trucks – so you only pay for the space your waste takes up; not for a full ‘skip load’.

2. We’re licensed to take all types of waste, including plasterboard, fridges, TV and other electrical waste.

3. There’s no need for a skip permit. This will save you time and money.

4. Our teams are insured and licensed to load anywhere on the property – so you don’t have to move or load the rubbish.

To save you time and money for your waste disposal and recycling needs, call 0800 141 2778 (Mon – Sat, 8am – 6pm) and speak to one of our team to discuss your requirements.
