Our Story
Hi, I’m Ben – founder of SmartClear, a local waste clearance and recycling company based in Reading. I’ve lived in the Thames Valley all my life and love our mix of beautiful countryside and thriving towns like Reading, Basingstoke, Bracknell, and beyond.
SmartClear is a family-run business, proudly built and operated with the help of my wife and older sons. Together, we bring care, integrity, and a hands-on approach to every job — treating each property as if it were our own.
As a father of five, I care deeply about the environment and the legacy we leave for our children. SmartClear was created to help people clear spaces responsibly — reducing landfill waste and promoting reuse, recycling, and repair wherever possible.
Our goal is simple: to deliver a fast, respectful, and eco-friendly waste clearance service that makes a positive impact on people and the planet.
Sustainability & Recycling
At SmartClear, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We’re working towards a zero-to-landfill approach by focusing on recycling, reusing, and donating items wherever possible.
Our team:
-
Sorts and separates waste on-site for recycling or reuse
-
Partners with local charities, reuse centres, and donation schemes
-
Tracks and reports waste diversion for full transparency
-
Promotes upcycling, repair, and waste education through our digital platforms
We believe that ethical waste clearance can help protect both our communities and our environment.
Charity & Community Work
Giving back is at the heart of what we do. We’re passionate about supporting the people and communities around us — not just through our work, but through our time and energy.
Our social mission includes:
-
Bereavement-sensitive and autism-aware clearance services
-
Supporting local charities through donation pickups and reuse initiatives
-
Offering discounted clearances for families and individuals in hardship
-
Investing time and resources into local community projects — from green clean-ups to inclusive spaces and school donations
As SmartClear grows, we’ll continue to reinvest in the people and causes that matter most to us.
Inclusive Employment
SmartClear believes in fair work, inclusivity, and opportunity for all.
We aim to create a supportive environment that values local recruitment and embraces diversity — including individuals who are neurodivergent or face employment barriers.
Where possible, we offer hands-on learning and skills development in clearance, logistics, and environmental services, and we’re exploring partnerships with local organisations that share our values around inclusion and opportunity.
