London green waste removal · West London
We work in Hounslow every week — heathrow's eastern approach — chiswick's riverside villas, brentford's canal-side new-build and feltham's estates. Green waste removal is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, agent and landscaper invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Cutting material down to load size, carrying through the house where there is no rear access and the green waste site fee are included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.
Working in Hounslow
What our crews walk into in Hounslow is chiswick's bedford park arts and crafts houses, 1930s semis, and thousands of new flats at brentford and hounslow, and the mix changes street by street — Brentford (TW8), Chiswick (W4) and Cranford and Heston (TW5) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: heathrow flight-path noise aside, access is easy outside chiswick, where cpzs and the a4 red route bite hardest. Locally that means narrow lock-side lanes, match-day restrictions and mandatory lift booking in new blocks and conservation-area rules, a4 red route and very tight cpz around turnham green. Hounslow sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Hounslow runs a garden waste subscription in Hounslow, usually a wheelie bin on a fortnightly round, which suits ongoing lawn and hedge trimmings but not a one-off clearance of years of growth or a skip-sized pile of branches. We collect the whole lot in one visit and weigh it in at a licensed green waste site.
Coaching road villages on the Bath Road, then aviation and industry along the Great West Road's Art Deco factories. That history is why Hounslow property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
Mixed household and bulky waste taken by the load with a transfer note the same day.
Sofas, wardrobes, tables and old white goods collected per item, dismantling included.
Overgrown beds, hedges and years of accumulated green waste cleared and taken away.
Natural stone patios and timber or composite decking cleaned at the right pressure for each.
Sheds, bases and outdoor storage built square, levelled and weather-fixed.
Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Hounslow, and the ladder runs up to £85 for the largest job on the table above. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: TW13, TW14, TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8 and W4. On the ground that includes Brentford, Chiswick, Cranford and Heston, Feltham, Hanworth and Hounslow.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Heathrow flight-path noise aside, access is easy outside Chiswick, where CPZs and the A4 red route bite hardest. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hounslow and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Chiswick's Bedford Park Arts and Crafts houses, 1930s semis, and thousands of new flats at Brentford and Hounslow is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hounslow tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hounslow postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, 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 and Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier. If something on that list turns up in Hounslow, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.
