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
This page prices green waste removal for West Norwood SE27 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 26% privately rented and 10,658 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth 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. Steep hills, narrow terraced streets and market-day closures on Norwood Road.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. West Norwood (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SE27 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SE27, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 30% one-person households in West Norwood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE27, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 West Norwood
In West Norwood (SE27) the split is 60% flats to 40% houses over 10,658 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 26% of West Norwood is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE27 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
West Norwood substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SE27, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 30% one-person households in West Norwood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE27 customer twice.
Cemetery, Feast street market and Victorian terraces climbing towards Crystal Palace. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. West Norwood sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep hills, narrow terraced streets and market-day closures on Norwood Road. Nearest station is West Norwood (Southern), 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.

Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste on Lambeth bookings. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling in this 60% flats neighbourhood, with 45% owner-occupation locally — and West Norwood Cemetery a few streets away, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.

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, with West Norwood Cemetery a few streets away, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers — and 10,658 households on this patch, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste on the West Norwood rounds, which fall outside standard green waste licensing.
