Hackney · E1 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Shoreditch fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Shoreditch E1 for houses and flats around Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street. 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
Green waste removal in Shoreditch E1 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Hackney, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 3,361 households sit inside this E1 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street 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. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shoreditch, often with surface conduit, with 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
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 →

Shoreditch 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 — warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe — which is why a E1 quote is not a Hackney average.
