London green waste removal · South London
Local green waste removal for Greenwich and its 10 covered areas. Maritime Greenwich and the Peninsula's towers, then Woolwich, Eltham and the suburbs behind Shooters Hill.
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 Greenwich
What our crews walk into in Greenwich is georgian terraces in west greenwich, 1930s eltham semis, woolwich estates and peninsula high-rise, and the mix changes street by street — Abbey Wood (SE2), Blackheath (SE3) and Charlton (SE7) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: cobbled and one-way streets in the world heritage core, blackwall tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the peninsula. Locally that means steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Greenwich treats Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material as controlled waste under a separate consignment route, not the household green bin that Royal Borough of Greenwich 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.
Royal palace and naval hospital on the river, arsenal at Woolwich; the Peninsula's gasworks became the O2 and new districts. That history is why Greenwich property behaves the way it does today.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Greenwich, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: SE10, SE18, SE2, SE28, SE3, SE7 and SE9. On the ground that includes Abbey Wood, Blackheath, Charlton, Eltham, Greenwich and Greenwich Peninsula.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Cobbled and one-way streets in the World Heritage core, Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the Peninsula. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Greenwich and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Georgian terraces in West Greenwich, 1930s Eltham semis, Woolwich estates and Peninsula high-rise 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Didn't clear rubbish from under the bed and some marks on walls look like they haven't been attempted at removing. Other than that was a good job considering the state of the flat.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
