No, you don't generally need to be at home for a rubbish clearance – as long as the waste is accessible.

That means you can:

• Leave the waste in an easily accessible outdoor location on your property – often a good option for garden waste

  Either way, it's always a good idea to discuss your specific requirements with the rubbish clearance company before hiring them.
