Why choose us

Local Southampton experts who do the job properly

House clearances are rarely straightforward — preparing a home for sale after a bereavement, downsizing, repossessions or tenants leaving belongings behind. We’ve handled them all across Southampton and Hampshire.

Because we’re local, we know the challenges: flats near the city centre, apartment blocks around Ocean Village, and terraced homes with limited loading access or permit parking.

We regularly work with:

  • Homeowners
  • Families dealing with probate
  • Estate agents
  • Solicitors
  • Landlords
  • Letting agents
  • Property developers

Your trusted team

Licensed, insured and fully transparent

These jobs aren’t just “stuff to remove”. Expect a respectful approach, clear communication and the paperwork to prove it.

  • Licensed waste carrier

    Approved disposal, recycling and donation routes only. Licence CBDU323204.

  • Waste transfer note

    Emailed after every job — proof of legal disposal for estates, solicitors and landlords.

  • Fully insured

    Team and vans covered, including public liability, even in tight access and communal areas.

  • DBS checked staff

    Friendly, professional specialists you can trust in your home.

  • Established 2018

    Led by Edward Cain (in reuse since 2009) and Michael Miller — a local team that takes pride in the job.

  • Protect yourself from rogue traders

    Cowboy outfits fly-tip waste — and you can be liable. Only use licensed clearance companies.

"Wish more companies were like the Zero Waste Group"

It's really refreshing to talk to a real person, not an answer machine. I was given a quote which was very reasonable and competitive. Gavin and William were friendly, professional, humorous with smiles all around — they made it look easy. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.

Booked just two days in advance. Provided a good quote. Booking was easy online. Received a phone call 20 minutes before arrival confirming ETA. The lads worked quickly and cleanly in stupid heat. Well done guys.

"1st floor flat, no lift — no problem"

The two guys who came to clear the flat on the 1st floor with no lift were amazing. Cheerful and happy to advise what we could do to help. Extremely happy with this service and understanding of what will happen to the items cleared.
