Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Harringay N4 specifically: period conversion stock, 45% privately rented and 12,105 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
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. The Ladder streets are narrow and fully permit-controlled; Green Lanes has short loading bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Harringay Green Lanes (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N4 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 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in N4, 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 in N4, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Harringay

With 45% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most N4 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Harringay substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in N4, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a N4 customer twice.
Green Lanes' ocakbasi grills and the Harringay Ladder of parallel terraces. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Harringay is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: the Ladder streets are narrow and fully permit-controlled; Green Lanes has short loading bays. Harringay Green Lanes (Overground) is the nearest station, 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.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Harringay, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access on this side of Haringey. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Harringay Green Lanes (Overground), with 30% one-person households here, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with Green Lanes and Finsbury Park's northern edge a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Harringay most weeks on this side of Haringey, with 34% of Harringay homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Haringey, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Haringey bookings. With 66% of Harringay homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with 30% one-person households here — and 34% of Harringay homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, with this being London Borough of Haringey territory, 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; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Harringay N4 price you agree is the price you pay on Haringey bookings, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 45% of Harringay privately rented and 35% owner-occupied, roughly half the N4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Harringay Green Lanes (Overground) — and this being a short walk from Harringay Green Lanes (Overground), with 30% one-person households here.
Green Lanes and Finsbury Park's northern edge is the marker we route to on the Harringay rounds — and 66% of homes here being flats, with 12,105 households on this patch, and the Ladder streets are narrow and fully permit-controlled; Green Lanes has short loading bays. A N4 slot added to an existing Haringey round usually lands the same week rather than the next on N4 jobs, with 30% one-person households here.
