Southampton FAQ
Do you cover the wider Hampshire area?
Yes — Eastleigh, Romsey, Winchester, Portsmouth (subject to scheduling) all get coverage on Southampton runs. Bournemouth and Poole we usually pair with a same-trip pickup since they share the M27 corridor.
How long is the turnaround for a Southampton job?
Usually 5–7 working days from photo-quote to bank transfer. Bulk jobs can be expedited if you need same-week clearance.
What's the smallest job you'd come out for?
Free pickup at 50 kg or 20 units. Anything smaller — post it in, drop it at our Rochdale facility, or aggregate with another local collection.
Do you do data destruction for Southampton business?
Yes — secure HDD shredding with wipe certificate is available on collections. See the hard-drive shredding service →
What about CRT/LCD monitors?
We don't buy them (they're WEEE-regulated). We can include monitor disposal as a netted-off line item on a mixed collection. Why we don't and what to do →
