Man and Van in Lothian, from £60. We'll call you back with a fixed price.
Man and Van across Lothian
Beyond the main cities we regularly work in Livingston, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Linlithgow and Haddington. Homes, rental properties, shops, offices and building sites all get the same service: a uniformed crew, careful loading, and paperwork showing where your waste went. All disposal goes through licensed facilities regulated by SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency).
Price matters, but so does knowing your waste is handled legally. Across Lothian, we use licensed transfer and recycling sites, offer waste transfer notes on every job, and pass usable items on to local charities. You get a fair price and peace of mind.

Why choose JunkSphere in Lothian
Fixed prices, agreed before we start
Every man and van job in Lothian gets a fixed price before any loading begins. Send a few photos or a short description and we'll quote from £60, then confirm the figure when the crew sees the job. If there's less than expected, you pay less. If there's more, we tell you before we carry on, never afterwards. Prices include labour, transport and disposal, so there's no separate tip fee or fuel charge added at the end.
Same-day and next-day slots
Our vans run daily rounds across Lothian, which means we can often fit you in the same day you call, and next-day slots are nearly always available. You choose a two-hour arrival window and the crew calls ahead so you're not stuck waiting in. Evening and weekend bookings are available for people who can't take time off work.
Licensed, insured and accountable
JunkSphere is a registered waste carrier, and every load we collect in Lothian goes to licensed facilities regulated by SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency). We carry public liability insurance, and we provide waste transfer notes on request so you have proof your waste was disposed of legally. That matters, because if waste you hand over ends up fly-tipped, you can be held responsible.
Reuse and recycling before landfill
A lot of what gets thrown away still has a second life. Our crews set aside usable items for local charities and reuse schemes, and the rest is separated into recycling streams: metals, timber, cardboard, garden waste and WEEE electricals. Landfill is the last option, not the first, for every man and van job we do in Lothian.

Fill in the quote form with your name, phone number, job type and preferred date. Photos help, but a rough description of your man and van job in Lothian is enough to start.
Get a fixed price
We call you back with a clear price, usually within the hour during working times. Prices start from £60 and include labour, transport and disposal.
We arrive and do the work
A uniformed crew arrives in your chosen two-hour window, confirms the price, and gets on with it. We move your things, carrying everything from wherever it is.
Responsible disposal
Everything goes to licensed sites, with reusable items passed on and the rest recycled wherever possible. Ask for a waste transfer note if you need one.
Man and Van in Lothian: common questions
Which parts of Lothian do you cover?
We cover the whole of Lothian, including Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh, Dalkeith and the villages around them. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we'll confirm the next available slot.
Is there a call-out charge in Lothian?
No. Prices for man and van in Lothian start from £60 and include travel, labour and disposal. Rural addresses a long way from our usual rounds may carry a small travel supplement, which we'll always tell you about before you book.
How is the price calculated?
Man and van jobs are charged by time from arrival to finish, starting at £60 for the first hour. For fixed moves like a studio or single item we can quote a set price instead.
Will the driver help carry items?
Yes. Every driver is also a porter. For heavy items, lots of stairs or tight timescales we recommend two people, which we'll suggest when you book.
Are my things insured?
Goods in transit and public liability cover come as standard. Tell us about high-value items in advance so we can pack and load them accordingly.
