Rubbish Tip Aberdeen: Clearing Out Before Your Student Move
Before booking a student removal, most Aberdeen students need to clear accumulated belongings that aren't worth transporting.
The main rubbish tip in Aberdeen is the Household Waste Recycling Centre on East Tullos Road in the Altens industrial area (AB12 3JB), open Monday to Saturday.
For students without a car, Giant Van can collect unwanted items from Old Aberdeen or Hillhead student accommodation and take them directly to the recycling centre as part of an end-of-tenancy service.
This is particularly useful for King Street flats and the Seaton Park area where large items can't be left on the pavement without the risk of council fines.
We charge a fixed rate for combined removal-plus-tip runs — call for a quote.
Storage Near Aberdeen Homesense: What to Do With Excess Belongings
Aberdeen Homesense on Queen Elizabeth II Bridge Road near the Beachfront retail park is a popular destination for students furnishing first flats.
But when summer arrives and you need to vacate halls or a shared house, storage becomes the problem.
Giant Van can collect your belongings from student accommodation in Hillhead, Tillydrone, or the Bridge of Don area and transfer them to Aberdeen luggage storage or self-storage facilities, ready for collection in September.
We handle everything from single room loads to shared-house multi-student splits — where one van visit collects belongings for three or four students going to different destinations.
Our local drivers know the height restrictions on the multi-storey at Union Square and the one-way system around St Machar Drive.

Every Giant Van removal companies in Aberdeen student booking includes a driver, a van appropriate to the load, a sack truck for boxes, and furniture blankets for screens and flat-pack furniture.

Two-person crews are standard for upper-floor granite tenement carries.
For Garthdee campus student accommodation (AB10), access is straightforward via the South Deeside Road estate roads.
Packing materials including boxes, tape, and mattress bags are available to pre-order.

Removal Companies in Aberdeen — FAQs
Are there antiques worth considering before a student move in Aberdeen?
Aberdeen has a small but active antiques market, particularly along Rosemount Viaduct and in the Trinity shopping centre. Before a student move, it's worth checking whether inherited or charity-shop furniture has resale value rather than simply being dumped. Giant Van can transport antiques carefully with furniture blankets and soft-tie strapping. Items of unusual value should be separately insured by you prior to your move date.
What is Key Moves Aberdeen and how does it compare to Giant Van?
Key Moves Aberdeen is a local letting agent, not a removal company. If you're moving through Key Moves as a tenant, you'll still need a separate removals service for your belongings. Giant Van covers all AB postcodes in Aberdeen for student and residential moves from £35. We provide written confirmation of your booking and a fixed price — useful when you need proof of a removal date for a tenancy agreement.

Giant Van can delay a clearance collection by 24 hours to allow an assessment without charge.
