Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Hendon NW4 specifically: inter-war stock, 45% privately rented and 14,613 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barnet permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many cubic yards, whether it is soft green waste or heavy soil and turf, and whether there is rear access or everything has to go through the house.
Step 2
Green waste is priced by volume and soil or rubble by weight, so the quote separates the two rather than guessing at one blended rate.
Step 3
Branches and hedge cuttings cut down to fit the van; loose material bagged so nothing spills through a hallway or side return on the way out.
Step 4
Green waste, soil and any rubble kept apart in the van, because the green waste site and the inert tip are two different gate fees.
Step 5
Weighed in at a licensed green waste or inert site and the transfer note emailed the same day.
Why choose us
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.
Two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. A41 and M1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Hendon Central (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW4, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hendon actually produces in NW4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hendon gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard | £55 | By volume | Light and bulky rather than heavy, so it is priced on the space it takes in the van, not its weight. |
| Hedge cuttings and branches, per cubic yard | £65 | By volume | Woody material needs to be cut down to fit before loading, which adds labour over a straight bag-and-carry. |
| Quarter-load mixed garden waste | £120 | 45–60 min | A typical small London garden clearance, priced on volume plus the green waste site's gate fee. |
| Half-load garden waste | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Covers a full rear garden clear where there is no side access and everything has to come out through the house. |
| Full Luton load of garden waste | £360 | 2–3 hrs | Full van, two crew and the site fee, typical after years of growth are tackled in one visit rather than several bin cycles. |
| Soil, turf and rubble, per cubic yard | £85 | By volume | These are weighed rather than measured by volume — a yard of wet turf or soil can weigh several times the same yard of hedge cuttings. |

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 →

Working in Hendon
14,613 households sit inside the NW4 neighbourhood covering Hendon. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 58% of those homes are flats.
Because 45% of Hendon is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of NW4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW4, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hendon actually produces behind the plaster in NW4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Hendon gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
University campus, Brent Street's shops and the RAF Museum on the old aerodrome. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Hendon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a41 and M1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways. Hendon Central (Northern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Hendon for Hendon (NW4) addresses, with 11% social-rented stock nearby — and 45% of NW4 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access on the streets near The RAF Museum London. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house across NW4, with The RAF Museum London a few streets away — and 58% of homes here being flats, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on NW4 jobs, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hendon most weeks on the Hendon rounds, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory.

With 58% of Hendon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Barnet bookings, with 45% of NW4 homes being privately rented — and 14,613 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height in this 58% flats neighbourhood, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, with 58% of homes here being flats — and this being London Borough of Barnet territory, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hendon NW4 price you agree is the price you pay around Hendon Central (Northern), with this being London Borough of Barnet territory.
All three. With 45% of Hendon privately rented and 43% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across NW4, with 43% owner-occupation locally — and 14,613 households on this patch.
