Environmental commitment and responsible management

Clearabee places particular emphasis on sustainability. The company states it has been carbon neutral since 2018 and has planted over 43,000 trees across three of its own forests. According to its data, more than 95% of the waste collected is diverted from landfill and all vehicles in its fleet offset their CO₂ emissions. The company uses audited waste facilities and issues a Waste Transfer Note for each completed job, allowing the client to verify the proper management of their waste. It also maintains an audit log of all waste movements.

Own fleet and national coverage

The company operates its own fleet of over 100 vehicles and nearly 300 directly employed staff, enabling it to offer a uniform service across the country. The vehicles are tracked and equipped with a five-camera live system. Clearabee states that its teams are not concentrated in a single location but distributed across the UK, facilitating same-day collection in cities such as London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Birmingham and Belfast, among others. The company completes over 100,000 jobs a year and serves both households and businesses, including some of the country's leading retailers.

Loyalty programme and trade account

Clearabee has a loyalty club called Beeloyal, aimed at trade users and regular customers. This programme offers up to 10% account credit on clearances and 5% on skip hire. The company also offers a trade account with instant set-up and online management, allowing credit to be earned from the first collection.

Facilities and featured projects

In February 2023, Clearabee announced the opening of a facility in Birmingham for the treatment of sofas (POPs), mattresses and bulky waste. The plant is licensed to process 75,000 tonnes annually and is equipped to handle hundreds of thousands of sofas, mattresses and other furniture items each year. The company also publishes informative articles on topics such as office clearances, skip hire and garden furniture removal.

How the service works and FAQs

Booking is done through the website, with 24/7 availability and instant access to documentation. Clearabee provides confirmations, text messages to notify of the team's arrival and waste transfer notes once collection is complete. The client does not need to be present at the time of collection, provided the waste is accessible; if items need to be collected from inside the property, the client's presence is required. The company quantifies waste in cubic yards and offers a calculator to estimate the volume and the most suitable service. If the amount of waste is greater or less than expected, Clearabee adjusts the price through charges or refunds.
