Our delivery vehicles are large, weighing 32 tonnes, and feature a mid-mounted crane that can extend up to 6 meters to unload your items from the side. These lorries are 8 x 4 wheelers. The trucks are approximately 11 meters long and 3 meters wide. To safely access your delivery site, they require a clear pathway that is at least 3 meters wide. Our trucks cannot manoeuvre over raised edges such as curbs, travel over manhole covers or move across lawns. Please inform us ahead of time of any walls, fences or other barriers to your site. Please note that if these conditions prevent us from making a delivery, you may incur a charge to cover our fuel and time.
Customers are required to confirm that the waste does not include general waste, hazardous materials, or more than 10% turf or grass. Confirming this helps avoid complications during the waste collection and processing stages.
