DO I HAVE TO BE AT HOME FOR MY COLLECTION?
No, you do not need to be at home for your collection. We make the process simple and hassle-free—just leave your items outside, and the Citytasker team will handle the rest. For added convenience, you can include specific instructions with your booking, such as "open the gate at the side, and the waste is at the side of the house." If leaving items on the road, it’s a good idea to inform your neighbours so they’re aware the waste will be removed. You can also add a note with Citytasker’s name and your reference number on the waste to avoid any council fines. It’s as easy as that—your waste will be gone in no time!
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR WASTE REMOVAL COLLECTION?
To ensure a swift and efficient removal, we kindly request the following preparations:
  • Bag all waste whenever possible for easier handling.
  • For bulky items, please make sure access areas are cleared to allow our team to navigate and remove items without causing damage.
These simple steps help us provide you with a smooth and clean removal experience.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
We understand that plans may change, and we aim to offer flexibility to our clients. If you need to cancel a scheduled job, you can do so up to 24 hours in advance free of charge. However, cancellations made within 24 hours on the same day will incur a £42 cancellation fee(including VAT). This fee, listed as a separate charge under ‘call out fee’ on our website, covers the reserved date and time slot, which prevents other clients from booking that time. Additionally, our team may already be en route or assigned to your job, with optimized routes to minimize carbon emissions. To reschedule, you can easily manage it through your account or by contacting our customer service team. We appreciate your understanding, as this policy helps us maintain efficient and eco-friendly services.
WHAT IS THE CALL OUT FEE?
The £42 call-out fee (including VAT) covers the costs of reserving a specific date and time slot for your service. This fee is applied because scheduling a job allocates our resources, such as team availability and transportation, preventing other clients from booking that time. The call-out fee helps us manage our schedule effectively, ensuring we provide efficient and reliable service to all clients.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION?
Our standard work hours are from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, during which our team is fully available to assist you. For tasks such as waste processing and logistics, our services may extend until 8:00 PM to ensure all operations are completed efficiently and on time.
MY ITEMS ARE REUSABLE, CAN YOU REUSE ANY OF MY WASTE?
Absolutely! Whenever possible, we make every effort to reuse your items. We actively collaborate with a reuse partner and work with local charities to donate suitable items, helping to reduce waste and support our community. This approach allows us to promote sustainability while giving back to those in need. We are continuously expanding this aspect of our services to make a positive impact.
CAN YOU SUPPLY FLOWERS, SOIL AND COMPOST?
Yes! If you let us know what you need when booking the job, we are happy to supply flowers, soil, and compost to support your gardening projects.
DO YOU OFFER REGULAR MAINTENANCE?
Yes! We offer regular garden maintenance and waste removal services to keep your property in top shape. Please contact our team to discuss a schedule that suits your needs.
HOW CAN I ADDRESS FLY-TIPPING ISSUES?
Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste on unauthorized land, such as roadsides, fields, or vacant lots, and is considered a criminal offense. If you encounter an instance of fly-tipping and need assistance, Citytasker is here to help. We provide documentation to support your complaint, including:

  • On-site Report: A detailed assessment of the site and incident.
  • Invoice: For a clear record of our service charges.
  • Waste Transfer Note (WTN): Issued within 24 hours of collection to verify the legal and proper disposal of the waste.

These documents can strengthen your case if you need to report the incident to authorities.

HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU COLLECT?
You can check real-time availability during checkout. If you don’t see a suitable slot or need an emergency collection, select your preferred day and time, then choose the ASAP option. Our team will make every effort to collect on the same day or the next day. Once the collection is scheduled, we’ll call you to confirm the details.
I HAVE PETS AND CHILDREN AT HOME WILL THIS BE A PROBLEM?
Not at all! It’s perfectly fine to collect waste when you have pets or children at home. We kindly ask that, for their safety, they are kept out of the way, especially when we’re removing bulky, heavy items or dismantling objects.
