Camden · NW5 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Dartmouth Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields? Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions, 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
Green waste removal in Dartmouth Park NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,395 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields rather than a London average.
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. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. |

Working in Dartmouth Park
In Dartmouth Park (NW5) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 3,395 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 18% of Dartmouth Park is privately rented and 36% socially rented, a lot of NW5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Dartmouth Park substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a NW5 customer twice.
Steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions — 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 Tufnell Park (Northern).
