Our work
Before & After
A recent clearance — cleared, loaded and disposed of responsibly.
Clearances beside Porthleven's working harbour
Waste Removal in Porthleven
Porthleven sits on a steep stretch of coast, with the harbour, the Bickford-Smith Institute clock tower and the shops of Fore Street packed close to the water. That makes clearances here a matter of careful access, and we plan each collection around the tight streets and the B3304 approach from Helston.
Fore Street Shop Clearances
Shopfronts and flats along Fore Street, facing the harbour, need early or quiet collections to keep the street clear.
Granite Cottage Contents
Older granite cottages around Peverell Road often hold decades of furniture that has to come down narrow stairs.
Harbour Access Planning
Parking is tight around the quay and Fore Street, so we plan loading and van position before we arrive.
Boatyard and Marine Debris
Old timber, fishing gear and general clutter from harbourside yards and storage units are cleared and sorted for disposal.

Porthleven's harbour heritage and coastal character
A Fishing Harbour Town With a Working Waterfront
Porthleven is known for its Victorian harbour, the Bickford-Smith Institute with its clock tower, and the nearby Loe Bar, all of which shape how and when we can reach properties here.
Bickford-Smith Institute Landmark
The clock tower beside the harbour is a familiar reference point when we arrange pickups around the quay.
Fore Street Terraces
Terraced homes and shops along Fore Street leave little room for skips, so van collections suit them well.
Storm Season Planning
Winter swells breaking over the harbour can close nearby access, so we plan quayside collections around the weather.
Loe Bar Road Gardens
Gardens along Loe Bar Road, close to the coastal footpaths towards Loe Bar, often produce large volumes of green waste.
Book early if your clearance falls on the weekend of the Porthleven Food Festival, when Fore Street and the harbour are busy and parking is hard to find. We can arrange a quieter early slot so the van is loaded and gone before the crowds arrive.
