Load-Based (Cubic-Yard) Rates vs Man-and-Van Cost
One reliable way to price a clearance is by volume.

Alternatively, a man-and-van quote charges by time and manpower — ideal for smaller removals, single-item collections or when you need a flexible crew for multi-drop jobs.How Volume Pricing Works
Our cubic-yard rates are tiered so a one-third van load costs less per cubic yard than a tiny five-cubic-foot uplift. Typical bands include small loads (e.g., single room), medium loads (a few rooms or basement clearance), and large loads (whole-house or bulky garden waste). For customers checking rubbish company prices area, this method is useful because you can compare clear volume-to-cost ratios directly.What Affects Man and Van Cost in Forest Hill
