Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle is a local waste collection and area rubbish removal service built around one simple idea: keeping Elephant and Castle clean, clear, and clutter-free. From busy flats off Walworth Road to family homes near Burgess Park, we have spent years helping local residents and businesses get rid of rubbish quickly, responsibly, and with genuine care for the community.
Our company was founded over ten years ago, right in the heart of SE1, at a time when fly-tipping and overflowing bins were becoming a real problem on the streets around the Elephant and Castle roundabout. The team started small, working with a single vehicle, collecting household junk and builder’s waste from streets like New Kent Road, Old Kent Road, and Walworth Road.
As demand grew for reliable rubbish clearance in Elephant and Castle, we invested in more vehicles, better equipment, and staff training. Over the years, we have expanded our area rubbish removal service across the estates and developments surrounding the Elephant and Castle area, including the Heygate regeneration zone, the Aylesbury Estate, and the newer apartment blocks around Elephant Park and the Shopping Centre redevelopment.
We are proud that many of our earliest customers, from small shops near the Tabernacle Street area to long-term residents near Kennington Park, still use us for regular waste collection today. Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle remains a locally rooted company, run by people who live and work in the same streets we service.
When you choose Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle, you get the assurance of a fully licensed waste carrier. We are registered with the Environment Agency, which means every load of rubbish we collect is handled, transported, and disposed of in line with current regulations.
We understand how important it is for residents and businesses in Elephant and Castle to know that their waste is not being fly-tipped in local spots such as back streets off Amelia Street, Harper Road, or the quieter corners around the Walworth Road markets. Our Environment Agency licence and strong relationships with authorised waste transfer stations and recycling centres across Southwark and neighbouring boroughs ensure that all rubbish is managed legally and responsibly.
Our team is made up of trained professionals who understand both the technical side of rubbish clearance and the specific needs of the Elephant and Castle community. Every member of staff is trained in safe lifting techniques, sorting and segregation of waste, and correct loading for efficient and legal transport.
Many of our operatives live locally, close to well-known landmarks such as Elephant Park, Burgess Park, and the Imperial War Museum. This local knowledge helps us plan collections around busy times on roads like New Kent Road, Walworth Road, and London Road, minimising disruption to residents, businesses, and traffic.
The mission of Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle is to provide a fast, reliable, and eco-responsible waste collection and area rubbish removal service that residents and businesses can trust. We believe that a cleaner environment leads to stronger communities, safer streets, and a better quality of life.
Our core values are:
Reliability: Turning up when we say we will and completing every job in full.
Transparency: Clear, honest communication about what we can collect, how we dispose of it, and what it will cost.
Responsibility: Putting the environment and our community at the centre of every decision we make.
Environmental responsibility is not an optional extra for us; it is built into the way Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle operates. Our aim on every collection is to divert as much material as possible away from landfill through recycling, reuse, and responsible sorting.
Rubbish collected in the Elephant and Castle area is taken to authorised local facilities and transfer stations where it can be separated into metals, wood, green waste, cardboard, plastics, and other recyclables. By carefully sorting waste from homes along streets like Walworth Road, New Kent Road, and the residential areas near Burgess Park and Kennington, we help reduce the environmental impact of everyday rubbish.
We work closely with licensed recycling centres and waste transfer stations in and around Southwark to ensure the materials we collect are processed correctly. Through these partnerships, we support the wider recycling efforts of the borough, helping increase the proportion of waste that is recovered rather than disposed of.
When carrying out rubbish clearance in Elephant and Castle, our teams separate recyclable materials from general waste whenever possible. Items such as metal appliances, furniture, wood, and green garden waste from properties near Burgess Park or around the estates off Old Kent Road are prioritised for recycling streams where suitable facilities exist.
We continually review our recycling processes to align with improvements at local facilities and with evolving environmental regulations. This ongoing commitment ensures our area rubbish removal service remains as sustainable as possible for residents and businesses across SE1 and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle is more than just a waste collection service. We see ourselves as part of the fabric of the local community. Over the years, we have supported community clean-up days around Elephant Park, helped local groups clear rubbish from green spaces near Burgess Park, and provided ad-hoc support for tenants’ and residents’ associations on estates close to Walworth Road and Newington.
Because we operate so closely with the people of Elephant and Castle, we understand the real impact that dumped rubbish, overflowing waste, and cluttered communal areas can have on everyday life. Our teams regularly assist with clearance of bulky items from stairwells in high-rise blocks, yard clean-ups behind small businesses, and end-of-tenancy clearances in flats scattered across the New Kent Road and Old Kent Road corridors.
We are committed to continuing our work with local organisations, housing providers, and community groups to keep streets, estates, and public spaces in Elephant and Castle looking their best. Our long-standing presence in the area means we approach every job with respect for local residents, awareness of local challenges, and pride in seeing the area improve year after year.
Residents and businesses choose Rubbish Clearance Elephant and Castle because we combine local knowledge, Environment Agency licensing, trained staff, and eco-friendly processes into one efficient rubbish removal service.

We will continue to invest in training, vehicles, and recycling partnerships so that our rubbish clearance and waste collection in the Elephant and Castle area remains safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible for many years to come.
