Haringey · N17 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Tottenham fitters · Fixed written pricesGreen waste removal for Tottenham (N17) households — 18,113 of them, 57% in flats. From £55 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Green waste removal in Tottenham N17 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Haringey, most of them mainly Victorian. 18,113 households sit inside this N17 patch, 57% of them flats, so we quote on access near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 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
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. Match-day closures and parking bans, red routes on the High Road and lift booking at Hale Village.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Tottenham Hale (Victoria, Greater Anglia) is the nearest station, so a N17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in N17, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 29% one-person households in Tottenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. |
