Overview
Bulky waste collection in West Ham and Plaistow E13, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around West Ham, bulky waste collection here covers supply-free fitting from £50. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow's 3,460 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E13 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bulky waste collection works in West Ham and Plaistow
Five steps, the same on every E13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In E13, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) rather than assumed from a map 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 West Ham and Plaistow customers book us
Four things decide whether a E13 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
West Ham and Plaistow walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site in E13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route.
Fixed prices
Bulky waste collection prices in West Ham and Plaistow
Fixed prices for E13 and the rest of Newham. 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%.

Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are itemised where they apply.
Scope
What's included in West Ham and Plaistow
The same scope across E13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In West Ham and Plaistow: collection from the room the item is in — nothing needs to be carried down to the kerb first, timed against the walk in from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c)
- On E13 jobs: dismantling of beds, wardrobes and flat-pack units where the stairwell or doorway will not take them whole, agreed on the doorstep in West Ham and Plaistow before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Newham bookings: a waste transfer note for the load, and a receipt if the item is passed to a reuse or charity partner instead, allowing for the 30% of E13 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Reuse checked first — sound furniture goes to a London reuse network before it is treated as waste, noted on the West Ham and Plaistow job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead, outside the fixed price on West Ham and Plaistow bookings
- Pianos and safes, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately, and we will say so before the E13 visit rather than on the day
- Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

West Ham and Plaistow E13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers West Ham and Plaistow — the numbers that actually change a bulky waste collection quote.
In West Ham and Plaistow (E13) the split is 55% flats to 45% houses over 3,460 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 30% private renting against 29% owner-occupied, most E13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site, so the fixing that matters in West Ham and Plaistow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
West Ham and Plaistow 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 — terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) 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.
