Hackney · N16 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Stoke Newington fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near Clissold Park and Abney Park Cemetery? Church Street loading windows, LTN filters and steep front steps on Georgian houses, 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
This page prices green waste removal for Stoke Newington N16 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 11,669 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney 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. Stoke Newington (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Stoke Newington gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Clissold Park and Abney Park Cemetery.
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. Church Street loading windows, LTN filters and steep front steps on Georgian houses.
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 Stoke Newington
11,669 households sit inside the N16 neighbourhood covering Stoke Newington. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 73% of those homes are flats.
With 37% private renting against 34% owner-occupied, most N16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in N16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Stoke Newington gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Clissold Park and Abney Park Cemetery is the fault we are called back to undo.
Stoke Newington 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 — church Street's independents, Clissold Park and Georgian terraces — which is why a N16 quote is not a Hackney average.
On access, church Street loading windows, LTN filters and steep front steps on Georgian houses — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Stoke Newington (Overground).
