Overview
Bulky waste collection in Greenwich SE10, explained
This page prices bulky waste collection for Greenwich SE10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 17,397 households in total. Work starts at £50, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bulky waste collection works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE10, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us what and where
A photo of each item and which room or floor it is on is enough for a fixed per-item price.
Step 2
Fixed quote, no kerb requirement
The price covers carrying the item out of the property; you never have to move it yourself.
Step 3
Book the day
Next-day is standard; same-day is available for two or more items booked before mid-morning.
Step 4
Carry and check for reuse
Sound furniture is assessed for reuse before it is loaded as waste, which is often the fastest way to move it on anyway.
Step 5
Transfer note or reuse receipt
Emailed the same day, whichever route the item took.
Why choose us
Why Greenwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every collection; items suitable for reuse are logged and passed to a London reuse partner with a receipt rather than tipped.
Crew sized to the job
One or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
Fixed prices
Bulky waste collection prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. The item and the carry, not the tip weight. A wardrobe down two flights with a turn in the stairwell costs more in crew time than the same wardrobe from a ground-floor flat.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sofa or armchair | £50 | 20–30 min | Priced per item because a single sofa does not need a full van booked against it. |
| Bed frame and mattress | £55 | 20–30 min | Covers dismantling a divan or frame and carrying the mattress separately, since the two are usually collected together. |
| Wardrobe or set of drawers | £45 | 20–30 min | Most flat-pack wardrobes have to be part-dismantled to clear a stairwell, which is why this sits above a loose item. |
| Dining table and up to 4 chairs | £60 | 30 min | Table legs are usually unscrewed to get the piece down a narrow London staircase. |
| Second item on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One call-out, one carry route surveyed — each extra piece only adds the carrying time, not a second job. |
| Same-day booking (2+ items) | £90 | Within hours | A fixed same-day rate for two or more bulky items, cheaper per item than booking two single collections. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Bulky items are priced per piece, not by volume, because carrying time — not tip weight — is what a single wardrobe or sofa actually costs. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are itemised where they apply.
Scope
What's included in Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Greenwich: collection from the room the item is in — nothing needs to be carried down to the kerb first, the way it is done on Greenwich jobs
- On SE10 jobs: dismantling of beds, wardrobes and flat-pack units where the stairwell or doorway will not take them whole, with 73% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: a waste transfer note for the load, and a receipt if the item is passed to a reuse or charity partner instead, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Reuse checked first — sound furniture goes to a London reuse network before it is treated as waste — including bulky waste collection
Not included
- Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich
- Pianos and safes, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a bulky waste collection quote.
In Greenwich (SE10) the split is 73% flats to 27% houses over 17,397 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 31% private renting against 40% owner-occupied, most SE10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Greenwich substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces is the mistake that costs a SE10 customer twice.
Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, and one or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is.

Common questions
Bulky waste collection in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does bulky waste collection cost in Greenwich SE10?
Sofa or armchair starts at £50 in Greenwich in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The item and the carry, not the tip weight around Cutty Sark (DLR). A wardrobe down two flights with a turn in the stairwell costs more in crew time than the same wardrobe from a ground-floor flat across SE10, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Greenwich SE10?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE10 jobs, with 40% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks on the Greenwich rounds, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Greenwich?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Greenwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Cutty Sark (DLR). With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 32% one-person households here — and 40% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Greenwich?
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access on this side of Greenwich. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE10 jobs, with 40% owner-occupation locally — and 32% one-person households here.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE10?
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every collection; items suitable for reuse are logged and passed to a London reuse partner with a receipt rather than tipped on SE10 jobs — and 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, with 17,397 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Greenwich, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in bulky waste collection in Greenwich?
Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead; Pianos and safes — and 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately; Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation on SE10 jobs, with 73% of homes here being flats, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenwich SE10 price you agree is the price you pay around Cutty Sark (DLR), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
