About Shipping Containers Disposal

A Manchester-based removal service for unwanted shipping containers and portable cabins, using our own HIAB lorries and working across England, Scotland and Wales.

Who we are

Container and cabin removal, done with our own lorries

Shipping Containers Disposal and Removal is based in Manchester. The lorries in our photos are the same vehicles that lift and carry your container or cabin away.

The service exists for a simple reason: containers and cabins get left behind. They sit in gardens, yards, school grounds and building sites long after anyone needs them, and the owner is left wondering how to get rid of something far too heavy to move without a lifting vehicle.

We answer that question for you. We look at what you have, tell you honestly whether it will cost you, be collected free or be worth buying, and then lift it and take it away.

Why choose us

What makes us different

Our own HIAB lorries

We do not ask you to arrange a separate lifting vehicle. Lifting and transport are both done by us.

Any quantity

One container behind a house or a yard full of units, we take them all.

National coverage

Based in Manchester, collecting across England, Scotland and Wales.

Containers and cabins

Shipping containers from 8ft to 45ft, plus portable cabins, site offices and welfare units.

A straight answer on cost

You pay for disposal, removal is free or we buy it. We tell you which before anything is booked.

Reuse where possible

Containers that can be used again are sold on or refurbished rather than scrapped.

Our team

Trained to lift, load and transport

Removing a container safely depends on the people doing it. Our team has the training, experience and equipment to lift, move, transport and dispose of containers and cabins correctly, which takes the worry out of the job for you.

Arriving with everything needed for the job means problems on the day can be dealt with there and then, and you get your space back.

Got a container or cabin you want gone?

Send us a few photos, the postcode and a rough idea of access. We will tell you whether you pay for disposal, whether removal is free or whether we can buy it.
