Licensed rubbish removal and waste clearance across Dumfries & Galloway. We collect, we load, we dispose — all legally as a SEPA-registered waste carrier. No skip permits, no hassle.
Tuthill Transport is registered with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) as a licensed waste carrier. This means every item we collect is disposed of legally and responsibly — and you're fully protected. Beware of unlicensed operators: using an unregistered carrier can result in fly-tipping fines for you, even if someone else dumped the waste.

Why Tuthill?
Placing a skip on a public road needs a council permit. We don't — we just come to you.
You don't lift a finger. We collect items from wherever they are — inside or outside.
Subject to availability — often we can help the same day or next day. No waiting weeks for a skip slot.
Skip hire + permit + loading yourself often costs more than a full van clearance with us.
Common Questions
Yes — always. We're SEPA registered, which means we're legally required to use licensed disposal facilities. Every load we take is documented and disposed of properly. Illegal fly-tipping is something we take seriously — and it's something we'd never do.
Yes. As a SEPA-registered carrier, we can provide a waste transfer note on request — this is your proof that the waste was handled legally. Businesses in particular may need this for record-keeping and compliance purposes.
Where possible, yes. Items in usable condition may be donated to local charities. Other materials are sorted for recycling where facilities allow. We use licensed disposal centres that are required to maximise recycling and divert waste from landfill.
Yes — that's the whole point. You don't need to drag anything out to the kerb. We come inside, collect from wherever the items are (upstairs, garage, loft access permitting), and take it all away. Just show us what needs to go.
