Leicester Carpet Removal helpful tips

• How expensive is carpet removal & disposal in Leicester?

  How much you'll pay for carpet removal in Leicester depends on a few things: the type and quantity of carpet as well as the urgency and difficulty of the job. A lot of heavy carpet that also needs uplifting will cost more. On the other hand, a small roll of carpet already outside for collection will cost less. That said, the best way to see how much carpet disposal costs is to ask! Just post a LoveJunk listing and let local waste collectors submit removal quotes.

• How to get the cheapest removal price

  If you have the flexibility, it’s best to list your carpet waste on a weekday and choose ‘Anytime’ as your collection date. Weekdays are when collectors are most active in Leicester and ‘anytime’ offers them the most opportunity to fit your job into their collection routes. Optimise your listing with good photos (ideally a short video too) plus a clear title and description. It will cost less if you uplift the carpet yourself beforehand. You could also cut it into smaller sections and leave it already rolled close to the pick up point. Don’t forget to keep it dry - wet, heavy carpet costs more to dispose of!

• What types of carpet can I get removed?

  You can use the platform to get rid of any unwanted carpet, including offcuts and underlay. You can also use LoveJunk for other types of flooring. For example, laminate, tiles, wood, ceramic, floorboards, rugs and mats.

• Will my carpet be reused?

  Yes, possibly! A lot of reuse happens on the LoveJunk marketplace each week. If you think your carpet is reusable (clean and in genuinely good condition) then tick the 'reusable' box when creating your LoveJunk listing. When you tick this box, it alerts local junk reusers as well, not just licensed waste carriers. Junk reusers will pick up for free if they like it. Old carpet can sometimes be reused by gardeners or animals shelters, so watch out for any messages from reusers!

• How fast can I get my carpet collected?

  Very fast! Within minutes of posting your LoveJunk listing the offers from waste carriers start to appear. If you select 'ASAP' or today's date as your required pickup time, collectors will offer to collect within that time frame. Remember that specifying an urgent collection usually means a more expensive collection than offering more flexibility. Top tip: the quicker collectors can load your waste, the more likely they can fit it into their schedule last minute. So make your carpet as accessible as possible and mention this in the description!
