Merton · SW19 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Colliers Wood fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Colliers Wood SW19 for houses and flats around Merton Abbey Mills. 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 Colliers Wood SW19 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Merton, most of them mainly Victorian. 4,286 households sit inside this SW19 patch, 67% of them flats, so we quote on access near Merton Abbey Mills 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. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW19, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 29% one-person households in Colliers Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 34 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. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
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 Colliers Wood
4,286 households sit inside the SW19 neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 67% of those homes are flats.
With 44% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW19 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in SW19, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 29% one-person households in Colliers Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Colliers Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Colliers Wood 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 — the Wandle trail, Merton Abbey Mills and big-box retail on the High Street — which is why a SW19 quote is not a Merton average.
High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Colliers Wood (Northern), 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.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Colliers Wood on SW19 jobs — and 9% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access around Colliers Wood (Northern).

In Colliers Wood, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 67% flats neighbourhood, with Merton parking rules in play. Ask for it in writing before the SW19 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Colliers Wood (Northern). With 67% of Colliers Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SW19 jobs — and Merton parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Merton territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 on this side of Merton, with 44% of SW19 homes being privately rented, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers — and Merton parking rules in play, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Colliers Wood SW19 price you agree is the price you pay in this 67% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Colliers Wood (Northern).
All three.
