London green waste removal · Central London
Green waste removal across Camden, from EC1, N1 and N1C outwards. Market crowds and canal-side warehouses in the south, Hampstead's Georgian hill village in the north, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, agent and landscaper invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Cutting material down to load size, carrying through the house where there is no rear access and the green waste site fee are included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.
Working in Camden
What our crews walk into in Camden is georgian townhouses, victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts, and the mix changes street by street — Belsize Park (NW3), Bloomsbury (WC1) and Camden Town (NW1) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Camden sets the constraint: camden's cpzs run seven days in parts of kentish town and camden town; narrow hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a luton. Locally that means resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights and camden cpz all week, listed staircases and squares where loading needs a bay suspension. Part of Camden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Camden treats Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material as controlled waste under a separate consignment route, not the household green bin that London Borough of Camden collects — mixing the two is how a garden clearance ends up rejected at the gate. We ask before loading and route any invasive material correctly rather than bulking it with hedge cuttings.
Why it looks like this: the canal and the railway termini made camden town an industrial goods yard; bloomsbury grew as a planned estate of garden squares.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
Mixed household and bulky waste taken by the load with a transfer note the same day.
Sofas, wardrobes, tables and old white goods collected per item, dismantling included.
Overgrown beds, hedges and years of accumulated green waste cleared and taken away.
Natural stone patios and timber or composite decking cleaned at the right pressure for each.
Sheds, bases and outdoor storage built square, levelled and weather-fixed.
Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Camden, and the ladder runs up to £85 for the largest job on the table above. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: EC1, N1, N1C, N6, N7, NW1, NW3, NW5, NW6 and WC1 and the rest of the Camden outward codes. On the ground that includes Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town, Chalk Farm, Dartmouth Park and Euston.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Camden and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Georgian townhouses, Victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Camden tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Camden postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew and Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier. If something on that list turns up in Camden, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
