We’re a small, innovative business based in Glasgow but we carry out work across the UK. We’re a tight knit team with many years of experience in the waste management industry. We don’t believe in gimmicks or bells and whistles. Our energies are focused on our client needs and providing value for money. This ethos has served us well as we work with some well known household names & a significant portion of our business comes via recommendations.
We enjoy nothing better than taking on a project or challenge other companies might shy away from. We’re a ‘think on your feet & out of the box’ kind of team and we’ll always come up with a solution for our clients, albeit this might take a bit of head scratching.
Collectively, we have experience of working with Universities, Colleges, Property Management Companies, Hotels, Student Accommodation, Facilities Management Companies, Residential Developments, large Retail premises and City Centre offices.

Ross Martin –Managing Director / Rock Star
Ross has many years of experience in the waste management industry having set up and successfully run a similar company over the past 14 years. After developing that business as far as was possible and feeling the general waste market had become too cluttered, Ross decided to put his experience, enthusiasm and innovation to good use and started Jettison - A fresh new business model totally focused on a target market and committed to delivering excellence and personal service at all times.
In his spare time, Ross is a wannabe rock star – playing not only the bagpipes but drums and guitar too. He’s ever hopeful of a call from Jools Holland…and not because he’s having a clear out..
Tracey McCallum – Accounts Manager / Horse Whisperer

If there’s anything you need, just give her a call or drop her a line. Outside of work, Tracey is a volunteer Riding Instructor at Riding for the Disabled, dog lover, cook and keen traveller –so much so she’s known affectionately to her colleagues as Judith Chalmers.

Ross Hamilton –Truck Crew
Known to the team as Wee Ross despite his height -Ross is the youngest member of our team and when he’s not at University, playing football for his local team or partying in Magaluf, he’s a safe pair of hands for Jettison – must be his goalie experience.
David Hefford – Truck Crew
The newest member of our team David has settled right in and enjoys playing football, reading and cooking in his spare time. He’s never brought any of his culinary creations into the office for us to try though.
Lewis Doherty - Truck Crew

Nancy – Office Junior
Still on her probationary period, Nancy is showing great potential. Her tea making skills need improvement and she’s often caught snoozing. However, she’s always ready to offer a warm welcome to visitors and she’s excellent at rounding up the truck teams.
We can take most items, except for food waste and asbestos.
Every clearance job is different. We will assess each job individually and provide costs and timescales to suit. Give us a call and we’ll take it from there.
If you call to organise a quote or book in a job -sometimes we can arrange for the same day but generally a day or so notice is perfect. We’ll schedule an appointment that suits you and a member of the team will give you a courtesy call 15 or 20 minutes minutes before arrival.
Our invoices are payable on receipt & we email them out on completion of your job. The majority are paid online or by BACS transfer, however, our truck teams can accept cash or cheques on the day.
