Camden · NW5 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kentish Town fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near The O2 Forum Kentish Town? Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access, 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 Kentish Town NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 7,587 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near The O2 Forum Kentish Town 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
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kentish Town, often with surface conduit, and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
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 Kentish Town
Kentish Town NW5 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 86% of homes here are flats and 14% are houses, across 7,587 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (26% owned, 24% privately rented) means a NW5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kentish Town substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kentish Town, often with surface conduit, and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW5 customer twice.
Kentish Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic — which is why a NW5 quote is not a Camden average.
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. Nearest station is Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), 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.
