Clearance services for Openshaw homes and businesses

What we clear locally, how the Openshaw price is worked out and what to expect on collection day.

Clearance services in Openshaw is priced by the volume that leaves the property, not by the hour.

Most clearances are done in a single two- to four-hour visit; a full house takes a day. A typical Openshaw job runs to about 12 cubic yards with a crew of 2.
