“Best waste collection company I’ve worked with, personal service and very reliable. If we need extra waste collections, WasteWorx is great at accommodating this, even at short notice. Everyone is really polite and friendly, and they do more eco-friendly waste collections, too, which, as a florist, is very important to my business ethos.” – Ellen

“Murray and his team made quick work out of our dismantled deck and odds and sods, which had grown into quite a pile!

Instead, this was cleared in under 2 hours for a similar price.” – Gail
