Why use our service for garden waste clearances in Brighton & Hove?

You may well have seen our white and green vans working around the city. We’re not a man-and-van operation, and we won’t claim to take absolutely anything – we’re a licensed, insured clearance company that’s upfront about what we can remove, quotes before we start, and routes everything through authorised waste management channels.

Who’s behind the service

Zero Waste Group was formed in 2018 from the merger of two established clearance businesses. The company is led by Edward Cain and Michael Miller: Ed has worked in recycling and reuse since 2009, and Michael founded his first waste clearance business in 2016.

They lead a professional, down-to-earth team with over 30,000 completed jobs across the south of England – and a simple standard: do the job properly, every time.

Eco-friendly garden and green waste clearances

Responsible clearance means thinking past the van. Usable items — garden furniture, tools, planters, outdoor toys — are donated for reuse wherever possible, which tends to go down well in a city that takes reuse seriously. Everything else is disposed of legally, through authorised waste management routes, in line with environmental regulations. You can read more about us here.

✅ 99% diverted from landfill: we’re proud to say that almost everything of a non-organic nature we pick up will be re-used, recycled, or donated.

✅ Re-use and donation first: many items from a Brighton garden clearance can still have value and use. Garden furniture, tools, and rubble, could help someone else. We prioritise donation to charities and local community causes.

✅ Carbon conscious operations: our business is looking reduce emissions as much as possible, and we actively support UK reforestation projects to help balance our carbon footprint where we can.

Fully licensed & insured

When you book a garden clearance, you need certainty about where the waste ends up. Zero Waste Group is a fully licensed waste carrier following approved routes for disposal, recycling and donation. After every job we email a waste transfer note – formal proof your waste was removed legally and processed through the correct channels. Our team and vehicles are fully insured, including public liability cover.

If you would like to verify our Waste Carrier Licence, you can find the registration number below.

Protect yourself from rogue traders

Cheap unlicensed clearances have a habit of ending on the Downs – green waste and garden rubbish dumped in lay-bys and field gateways on the roads out of the city. When it’s traced, the householder who paid for the “bargain” can be held liable. Only ever use a licensed carrier. We’re licensed, insured and transparent, and you’ll have the paperwork to prove your waste was handled properly.
