Croydon · CR2 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local South Croydon fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in South Croydon CR2 for houses and flats around Croham Hurst woods. From £55, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices green waste removal for South Croydon CR2 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,637 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon 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. South Croydon (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 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, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR2, 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, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
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. 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 →

Working in South Croydon
3,637 households sit inside the CR2 neighbourhood covering South Croydon. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
Because 30% of South Croydon is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
South Croydon substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. 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, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a CR2 customer twice.
South Croydon 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 — victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. Nearest station is South Croydon (Southern), 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.
