Why use it
If you have a car and no patience for a booking window, this is the fastest legitimate route for almost anything that is not simply rubbish. Note that it does not take construction or demolition waste, for that, book a council collection instead.

Does it actually work
The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.
