Havering · RM5 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Collier Row fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Collier Row RM5 for houses and flats around Collier Row Lane parade. 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 Collier Row RM5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them post-war. 3,167 households sit inside this RM5 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Collier Row Lane parade 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. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
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 Collier Row
3,167 households sit inside the RM5 neighbourhood covering Collier Row. The build is post-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
Because 14% of Collier Row is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of RM5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading behind the plaster in RM5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Collier Row 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 — a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade — which is why a RM5 quote is not a Havering average.
On access, wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading — 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 Romford (Elizabeth line).
