Realistic carpet removal cost

Need to get new carpets installed, but the quotes I've got for just removing the carpets from the whole house seem a bit excessive. I'm in a 4 bedroom detached and they want £1000 to take it out and away. Is this reasonable? It just seems a bit too much to me, but I'd like to know what experts think about this

"Ridiculous cost if I'm supplying your new carpets I would remove the old ones free of charge"

"That's excessive.
Perhaps hire a skip and do yourself.
It's all about cost of disposal.
Too cheap invites fly tipping.. I would expect around 600 if the rooms are completely empty"

"Hi, cost of removal vary significantly due to disposal costs. As we can’t use local authorities tilling sites traders rely on hiring skips etc to dispose of waste. Personally I would post your job on this site and get x3 quotes and compare the difference"
