Where your waste goes

Alum Rock sits under Birmingham City Council. Residents tipping themselves are directed to Tyseley (Kings Road), Perry Barr (Holford Drive), Sutton Coldfield (Norris Way), Castle Bromwich (Castle Vale), where residents need a booked slot and a permit for vans and larger trailers. Because we hold an upper-tier waste carrier licence, your load goes straight to a licensed transfer station instead — sorted for reuse, metal, timber, textiles and WEEE, with a digital waste transfer note issued the same day.

A clearance services in Alum Rock exists for everything that does not fit that: same-week collection, no item cap, items carried from inside the property rather than left at the kerb, and full duty-of-care paperwork afterwards.

Why Alum Rock households choose Hello Services

Licensed carrier, paperwork supplied

We're a registered waste carrier and you get the transfer note — the document that keeps the fly-tipping liability off you. In Alum Rock that means crews who already know late-Victorian red brick, tarmac forecourts and concrete flagstones and price for it up front.

Priced by volume, not guesswork

You pay for the load we actually take, quoted from photos or a walk-round, with labour and disposal already in the figure. Our B8 teams see this weekly on jobs around Ward End Park.

Recycled and rehomed first

Usable furniture, textiles and electricals go to reuse or charity partners before anything is treated as general waste. Traffic film from the A47 leaves stubborn black banding along kerbs and steps.

Swept up before we leave

Rooms, garages and gardens are brushed out and left usable — a clearance isn't finished while the debris is still there. Same standard whether you're central Alum Rock or out towards Aston and Erdington.

About Alum Rock

Alum Rock (B8, Birmingham, West Midlands) is densely-terraced East Birmingham neighbourhood with a lively Alum Rock Road high street. Ward End Park anchors the area, and the streets around it are built largely in Late-Victorian red brick, tarmac forecourts and concrete flagstones.

That matters for rubbish & house clearance: traffic film from the A47 leaves stubborn black banding along kerbs and steps. Roughly 61% of the housing stock here pre-dates the war and 74% is flats or terraces, so our crews plan for stair turns, shared entries and tight kerbside loading rather than assuming driveway access.

We work Alum Rock alongside Aston, Erdington, Ladywood, Birmingham, which keeps travel time short and lets us hold morning and afternoon slots in the same B8 run.

Getting to you in Alum Rock

Off the A47 Alum Rock Road, with the M6 junction 5 close by; the high street itself is busy from mid-morning and loading there needs planning.

Terraced streets have back entries too narrow for appliances and kerbside space at a premium. We hold the space with the van from the start of the job rather than moving it.

Late-Victorian terraces, many extended to the rear, with small front rooms, steep stairs and narrow shared entries. All of that is in the crew brief before a rubbish & house clearance visit, which is why arrival windows here are a real estimate rather than a guess.

Parking and permits

On the day
Extended rear kitchens are surveyed for the real exit route: often the only way out for a fridge-freezer is through the front room, so the run is protected first.

Spoken like a local in Alum Rock

Our Alum Rock crews are Birmingham crews. They know that addresses are given by ward and island: Kings Heath off the High Street, Digbeth by the Custard Factory, that clean Air Zone compliant vans, permits sorted in advance, and no blocking a residents' bay, and that a rubbish & house clearance booking in B8 is judged on turning up when we said we would. Everything below is written the way the job is actually described on the doorstep here.

Birmingham shorthand you will hear on the job

bab

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
