Waste removal in Cardiff: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You're generally responsible for all waste removal from your property, including garden or renovation waste. If you're hiring trades for building work, clarify if disposal is included in their quote. For major clearances, you might need a permit for a skip or use a man-and-van style clearance.

For renters:

You're usually responsible for removing any rubbish you've created (e.g. furniture, personal items) when moving out. But landlords often handle building or maintenance waste. Always check your tenancy agreement or speak to your landlord before booking a clearance.
