From the Back of the Van to Eco-Leaders: The Story of Clear This Ltd

If you were around the streets of Lancashire in the 1990s, you might remember a friendly, hard-working team pulling up in a transit van under the name Aardvark House Clearances. Back then, the business was simple: people had junk they didn’t want, and we had the muscle to take it away.

Fast forward to today, and while our core dedication to helping people clear their spaces remains exactly the same, almost everything else has changed. Today, we are proud to operate as Clear This Ltd, running a modern, dynamic Local rubbish removals and clearance operation right out of Chorley.

Our journey from the 1990s to 2026 is a story of adapting to the times, leading with a green conscience, and proving that a female-led business can truly change the face of the waste management industry.

Adapting to a Greener World

Let’s be honest—the waste industry in the 1990s didn’t look like it does today. Back then, “environmental awareness” wasn’t a term you heard very often. Most rubbish collected by the trade simply went straight into the ground. However, as the years rolled on, the world woke up to the reality of landfills, and so did we.

Instead of resisting the changes, we chose to embrace them and completely reinvented how we handle your unwanted items. We shifted our entire business model toward sustainability. Consequently, we adopted a strict Zero-to-Landfill target.

Whenever the rubbish removal department clears a property today, the journey doesn’t end at the tip. Instead, we carefully sort through the waste. Reusable furniture and appliances are donated to local charities or sent to live auctions, while the rest goes to state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facilities to be properly recycled. We even wrap soiled mattresses before transport to keep things discreet and hygienic, ensuring everything is handled responsibly.

Female-Led Strength in local waste removals

The waste removal sector has historically been heavily male-dominated, but Clear This Ltd is proudly breaking that mold. Led by our owner, Jennie, the business brings a unique blend of operational strength, meticulous organization, and genuine compassion to every single job.

Jennie and her teams understand that clearing out rubbish or handling a house clearance isn’t just about moving heavy objects—it’s often about managing major life transitions. Whether it is a stressful office relocation or a highly sensitive bereavement clearance, our female-led leadership ensures the process is handled with absolute respect, transparent pricing, and a friendly smile.

We don’t just clear spaces; we take care of the people living or working in them. Jennie is personally involved from quote to completion, ensuring you always deal directly with the top decision-maker.
