Camden · NW3 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for green waste removal in Hampstead NW3? We work in Hampstead most weeks — georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep — and price green waste removal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £55, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Green waste removal in Hampstead NW3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Camden, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 11,433 households sit inside this NW3 patch, 84% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House 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, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Hampstead (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered 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. |

Working in Hampstead
11,433 households sit inside the NW3 neighbourhood covering Hampstead. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 84% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (39% owned, 45% privately rented) means a NW3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Hampstead substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Hampstead (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Hampstead (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.
