With disposal points all over Kent, we offer our customers a competitive grab lorry rubbish removal service for both inert and contaminated soils. Since the introduction of ‘Waste Acceptance Criteria’ for inert landfill, we can offer onsite chemical testing with results guaranteed within five working days.
Our fleet of grab lorries can also be used to supply materials, including our own range of primary and secondary recycled aggregates and certificated topsoil, to sites where conventional access is difficult. These products can be delivered loose or placed into position in one-tonne bags.
Our fleet currently supplies over 180,000 tonnes of our own recycled aggregates back into the county of Kent from a 1-tonne bag to 20-tonne loads.
Soil removal might come to mind first but actually, grab rubbish clearance is used for all sorts of materials, including:
After removing your waste we’ll transport it to disposal points to be sorted for recycling. Read more about our recycled material.
Muck away waste generally falls into three categories, all three of which we can collect:
Thanks to our expansive fleet, we have muck away wagon capacity for large-scale construction projects, commercial work, and excavations, meaning you and your team can work more quickly and without the hazard of excess material getting in the way. We offer competitive muck away prices and our vehicle operators get the job done fast. Call us on 01304 626364 to find out more about grab wagon hire.
All our muck away lorries, tippers, and grab lorries are 8x4 which refers to them being a four-axled vehicle with eight wheels. Each one can carry 15 cubic metres in volume and up to 20 tonnes in weight.
What’s the difference between tipper lorry hire and lorry with grab hire? This comes down to the machinery you have on-site.
A grab lorry comes with a loading bucket which means we can load the vehicle on-site ourselves. A tipper lorry comes without a loading bucket, meaning you’ll need to provide machinery to assist in loading the vehicle.
If you have a requirement for tipper grab hire, contact us today. We’ll ask some questions about your situation to determine which grab hire lorry type you need.
Grab lorry costs are affected by the volume of material you need to shift and your location. Each situation varies and we always aim to provide the most accurate grab hire cost possible. Send us a message today and a member of our team will contact you to discuss your requirements and provide grab lorry prices.
We provide grab truck hire, including mini grab hire for smaller jobs or domestic projects across the South of England from our central base in Sandwich, Kent.

Our skip sizes range from four to 12 cubic yards which provide a very cost-effective way to dispose of bulky waste including furniture and garden waste. For a skip that will be placed on the road, there will be an extra charge of £50.00 (per week) added for a permit from the council. If a permit is required, it takes 3 days to obtain permission from the local authority so factor this in when you’re planning the hire of your skip.
To help you decide which size skip would be best for you, please refer to our waste skip sizes guide pages. We’ve included skip sizes in yards and skip capacity m3 to give you a good idea of what will fit in each skip.
The main difference is how they’re loaded. A grab lorry comes with a hydraulic arm – a big metal grab bucket – which means we can load the waste directly into the back of the truck without needing any extra machinery on your end. That’s handy if you don’t have a digger or if access is tight.
A tipper lorry, on the other hand, doesn’t have that arm – so you’ll need your own machine to load the material.
Both do the same job in terms of transport, but which one you need really comes down to what you’ve got on site.
If you’re unsure whether you need a grab lorry or a tipper truck, get in touch with our team on 01304 626364 or send us a message – we’ll be happy to help.
Our grab lorries are 8-wheel, 4-axle vehicles (8x4s) and can carry up to 20 tonnes of waste in a single load.
That works out to around 15 cubic metres of space – which is roughly three or four full skips’ worth.
If you’ve got a big pile of muck, rubble, or soil to shift, it’s often more efficient (and cheaper) to get one grab lorry in than to go through several skip exchanges. It also saves time, as we can load up and be out of your way in one visit.

Grab lorries are used to collect all kinds of loose, bulky waste.
Most commonly, we take away soil, hardcore, bricks, concrete, rubble, and general building waste. They’re also great for green waste, like tree roots, branches, and hedge cuttings.
On muck away jobs, we handle inert, general, and sometimes hazardous material, depending on what’s involved.
If you’re unsure whether your waste is suitable for a grab lorry, just give us a call on 01304 626364 – we’ll advise you on the best way to get it shifted.
Yes, we do both. As well as removing waste, our grab lorries are often used to deliver aggregates, recycled materials, and topsoil directly to site. This is especially useful when there’s limited access and larger delivery trucks can’t get close enough.
We can drop materials loose or in one-tonne bags, depending on what works best for your job.
All our materials are certified, and because we handle them ourselves from start to finish, you know exactly what you’re getting.
If you’d like a quote for delivery of materials, send us a message or give our team a call on 01304 626364.
There’s no one-size-fits-all price because the cost depends on a few factors – mainly how much waste you’ve got, what type of material it is, and where the site is located.
Once you’ve provided that info, we’ll give you a proper quote with no hidden extras. We keep our prices competitive and try to offer good value whether it’s a one-off job or part of a longer project.
Just drop us a quick message or give us a ring on 01304 626364 – it only takes a minute to get the ball rolling.
‘Muck away’ is the general term for clearing away waste from things like excavation, groundworks, and demolition jobs – basically, the stuff that piles up when you’re digging out or clearing land.
There are three main types: inert muck (things like soil, clay, and sand), general waste (a mix of soil and rubbish), and hazardous muck (if it’s been contaminated, for example).
We’ll come to site, load up the muck with a grab or tipper truck, and make sure it goes to the right disposal or recycling facility. If needed, we can also help with soil testing or waste classification.
Yes, definitely. Whilst we do a lot of work on big commercial sites, we also offer mini grab hire for smaller or one-off jobs. This is ideal if you’re doing a house renovation, landscaping your garden, or clearing out after building work – especially if there’s no space for a skip.
One grab lorry load can take away a surprising amount, and it’s all done in one go, so you’re not left with a skip sitting outside for days.
For a grab hire quote for a small job or domestic project, simply send us a message or give us a ring on 01304 626364.
In most cases, no permit is needed for a grab lorry because we’re not leaving the vehicle on the road like you would with a skip.
We arrive, load up, and leave, usually within an hour or so. That means no waiting around for council approval or paying for a permit.
That said, if access is really limited or if we do need to stop on a main road, we’ll discuss it with you first and sort out the best option.
