  • Do I need to separate my waste before collection?
    While it’s not mandatory, separating waste by type (e.g., recyclables, general waste) makes the process quicker and more efficient for your waste dealer.
  • How do I ensure the waste dealer is licensed?
    All dealers listed on our platform are fully licensed and insured. Always ask for proof of a waste carrier license if you're using an independent service.

    Same-day services are often available, but this depends on the waste dealer’s schedule. It’s best to book in advance to secure your preferred time.
