THE SIX PRICE DRIVERS
What can change the total.
If a factor applies to your job, it belongs in the estimate before booking—not as a surprise at the van.
Collection pack
The closest van-space band, normal loading time and a standard mixed-waste allowance.
Weight & material
Dense loads can reach legal payload before the van looks full, so weight can override volume.
Item routes
Upholstered seating, mattresses and electricals can carry separate treatment or disposal costs.
Access & labour
Stairs, long carries, dismantling and site rules change the time and people needed.
Collection route
Travel, disposal destination and any unavoidable third-party parking cost are priced into the real job.
Timing
Flexible work uses normal capacity; confirmed same-day, next-day or out-of-hours work may carry priority cost.
WHY SOME ITEMS COST MORE
Different waste.
Different route.
The charge is not for clicking another box. It reflects extra site cost, segregation, treatment, payload or labour.
CHECK A WASTE TYPE- 01Upholstered seating
Sofas, armchairs, recliners and upholstered office seating may require a POPs-compliant route.
- 02Mattresses
Declared separately because the receiving site may charge per item rather than ordinary mixed-waste weight.
- 03Fridges & electricals
WEEE and refrigeration equipment need the correct receiving route and may attract an item charge.
- 04Dense material
Soil, rubble, concrete, tiles and similar material are reviewed by payload and disposal stream—not visual fullness.
- 05Plasterboard
Must be identified and kept separate for the correct disposal route.
- 06Unknown or restricted waste
No automatic price. RIFT screens the material before deciding whether it can be accepted.
FAIR, DEFENSIBLE PRICING
The rules do not move after the fact.
The website uses only what can be seen or declared. Hidden bag contents and exact weight remain unknown.
RIFT checks the material, route, access and timing before issuing the written quotation.
The confirmed total stands while the waste and collection conditions match the agreed scope.
If the job is materially different, RIFT explains the change and obtains approval before extra work.
PRICING QUESTIONS
Before you request a slot.
Why is the website price a range?+
Photographs and load descriptions cannot prove exact weight, hidden contents or the final receiving-site route. The range is deliberately guarded; RIFT confirms one written total before collection.
Are labour and loading included?+
Yes. Every load includes the loading time displayed on its card. Access, carrying distance and basic dismantling are priced from what you declare. If materially different conditions require longer, RIFT agrees the extension before continuing: £30 including VAT per additional 30 minutes for one operative or £48 including VAT for two.
How is travel charged?+
The first 10 miles from RIFT’s operating base are included. The guarded guide then applies a distance band and protects minimum job values farther afield. Postcodes beyond 40 miles are personally reviewed so a long journey is never accepted at a loss.
Can I get a price for heavy waste?+
Yes, but dense material is routed to human review because legal payload can be reached while the van still looks partly empty. Send photographs and an approximate quantity.
Will RIFT add fees on the day?+
Not where the job matches the confirmed written scope. If undisclosed waste or a materially different access route changes the work, RIFT stops and agrees the variation before proceeding.
