You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Crouch End N8 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 6,451 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Haringey 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
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, very narrow streets around the Broadway and permit bays all week.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Hornsey (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in N8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Haringey kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
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. |

Working in Crouch End
Census 2021 puts Crouch End at 6,451 households with a median age of 38.7. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 25% houses and 75% flats need different handling in N8.
37% of households rent privately and 51% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Crouch End is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Haringey kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Crouch End knows the pattern near Crouch End Clock Tower: the clock tower, Town Hall and a hill village of Victorian terraces with no tube. We plan the N8 visit around it.

Steep hills, very narrow streets around the Broadway and permit bays all week. Nearest station is Hornsey (Great Northern), 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.
