Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Kingston town centre KT1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 40% privately rented and 9,668 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 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
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Kingston (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in KT1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Kingston town centre stock goes, the reality on the streets around Kingston Market Place and the coronation stone.
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. Pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road.
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 Kingston town centre
In Kingston town centre (KT1) the split is 63% flats to 37% houses over 9,668 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 40% private renting against 51% owner-occupied, most KT1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in KT1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Kingston town centre stock goes, the reality on the streets around Kingston Market Place and the coronation stone is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kingston town centre 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 — riverside market town with the Bentall Centre, the ancient market and the bridge — which is why a KT1 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road. Kingston (South Western) 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.
