Barnet · N20 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Totteridge fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near Totteridge Green and the village pond? Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £55 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Totteridge N20 specifically: mixed-era stock, 14% privately rented and 3,519 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
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in N20, cavity brickwork outside, and long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances in N20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, the reality on the streets around Totteridge Green and the village pond.
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. Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances.
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 cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Working in Totteridge
3,519 households sit inside the N20 neighbourhood covering Totteridge. The build is mixed-era, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
Because 14% of Totteridge is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of N20 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in N20, cavity brickwork outside, and long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances, so the fixing that matters in Totteridge is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, the reality on the streets around Totteridge Green and the village pond.
Totteridge 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 — green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond — which is why a N20 quote is not a Barnet average.
On access, long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern).
