LOCAL GRAB HIRE GUIDE
What does grab hire involve in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Grab lorries collect appropriate loose materials using a hydraulic arm where the vehicle can safely reach the stockpile. They are not interchangeable with a conventional household rubbish collection and not all waste types are suitable.
For a Shoreham-by-Sea groundworks project, show where suitable spoil or rubble is piled and where a grab vehicle could legally and safely stand. Access and overhead obstructions may rule out a collection even where the pile is otherwise appropriate.

A practical Shoreham-by-Sea enquiry
Provide material details and photos before a quote, especially if there is soil mixed with household items or building products that might require a different disposal route.
Explain if your property is on a narrow street, has residents-only parking, or needs loading from a roadside position
Collection or hire: which is more suitable?
If the waste is heavy and can be safely piled for vehicle access, grab hire may avoid leaving a skip on site. If materials are mixed household waste or the truck cannot get close, compare skip hire or a separate collection.
For adjacent locations such as Lancing and Southwick, include the postcode and any unusual access details in your enquiry.

Important material and collection checks
What needs special attention?
The actual grab vehicle, reach, load capacity, waste acceptance and availability must be checked with DJ Recycling. Never rely on an assumed grab-lorry lifting distance or tonnage.
Read the official guidance: HSE: safe loading and unloading of vehicles
What should a customer verify?
Waste removal customers should check the business has appropriate waste-carrier authorisation. You can check this on the Environment Agency public register.

What details matter for grab hire at a Shoreham-by-Sea address?
For a Shoreham-by-Sea groundworks project, show where suitable spoil or rubble is piled and where a grab vehicle could legally and safely stand. Access and overhead obstructions may rule out a collection even where the pile is otherwise appropriate.
What waste can a grab lorry take?
Provide a specific material list. Soil, rubble, hardcore or aggregate may be appropriate in some circumstances, but classification and acceptance must be confirmed.
How close must a grab vehicle get?
It depends on the vehicle and safe lifting conditions. Send photographs and distances so the operator can assess reach.
Can you collect a mixed household rubbish pile?
Do not assume so. Grab collection is generally assessed for suitable bulk materials; a separate rubbish-removal option may be better.
Can the lorry stand on a public road?
Road positioning, safe loading and any required permissions must be considered. Do not reserve or obstruct public space without appropriate agreement.
Do you offer fixed grab-load prices?
Ask for a written quote based on material type, quantity and access. No generic price or vehicle capacity is guaranteed here.
