No pricing basis at all
By volume, by load, by item, by weight — customers do not know, and the fear of an on-the-day price is why they call three companies. Explaining the basis wins more than being cheapest.

The moment they land
A house is being cleared, a garage has become unusable, or a tenant has left a flat full of furniture. There is usually a deadline — a sale, a move, an inspection — and they want to know what a van-load costs, whether you carry it out or they have to bring it to the kerb, and whether you can come this week.
What costs you jobs
4 things a template gets wrong here.
Unclear whether you do the lifting
Whether it has to be at the kerb, whether you go upstairs, whether you dismantle furniture. It is the second question every caller asks.
Restricted items buried or absent
Mattresses, paint, tyres, electronics, fridges. Surcharges and refusals that appear on the day are the main source of complaints in this trade.
Nothing about where it goes
Recycling and diversion rates matter to a growing share of customers and to every commercial client, and almost nobody states them.
What gets built instead
Mechanics, not features.
The pricing basis, then the price
Volume or load with a clear illustration of what a quarter, half and full load actually looks like, plus a minimum charge.
What the crew does, stated
Whether they carry from inside, upstairs, dismantle, and sweep up. It removes the awkward conversation on arrival.
Restricted and surcharged items, listed
Up front, with the surcharge. It costs you a few enquiries and saves you every complaint.
Where it goes, with the diversion rate
Charities, recycling, landfill. It matters to householders and it is frequently a requirement for commercial work.
Fair questions
The reasons not to.
“Every load is different”
The BASIS is not, and illustrating what a half load looks like is enough for somebody to budget. The alternative is being one of three quotes chosen on price alone.
“Commercial work comes through contacts”
Commercial clients increasingly need the diversion figures and the waste carrier licence in writing, and that is a page, not a phone call.
Asked often
Before you ask.
How should pricing be presented?
The basis first, then the price — volume or load, with a clear illustration of what a quarter, half and full load looks like, plus the minimum charge. The fear of an on-the-day number is what makes people ring three companies.
Should restricted items be listed on the site?
Yes, with any surcharge. Mattresses, paint, tyres and fridges appearing as a surprise on the day is the main source of complaints in this trade, and listing them costs a handful of enquiries and saves all of them.
Does recycling information matter?
To a growing share of householders and to almost every commercial client, yes — often in writing, alongside the waste carrier licence.
