Merton · SW19 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Wimbledon Park fitters · Fixed written pricesGreen waste removal for Wimbledon Park (SW19) households — 3,512 of them, 42% in flats. From £55 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Green waste removal in Wimbledon Park SW19 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Merton, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,512 households sit inside this SW19 patch, 42% of them flats, so we quote on access near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door 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
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. Championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Wimbledon Park (District) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 61% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
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. |

Working in Wimbledon Park
Walk Wimbledon Park from Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 42% of the 3,512 households in SW19 live in flats, 58% in houses.
30% of households rent privately and 61% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 61% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW19. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Wimbledon Park knows the pattern near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door: the park and lake below the tennis grounds, with Edwardian streets on the slope down to Southfields. We plan the SW19 visit around it. Wimbledon Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes. Wimbledon Park (District) 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.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Wimbledon Park on the Wimbledon Park rounds — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door a few streets away, 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 across SW19. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house around Wimbledon Park (District), with this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District), which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Merton, with 61% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wimbledon Park most weeks on SW19 jobs, with 9% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Merton, with this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door. With 42% of Wimbledon Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SW19, with 61% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste on this side of Merton. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling across SW19 — and 22% one-person households here, with Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door 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. That paperwork is what most Merton letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Wimbledon Park (District), with 61% owner-occupation locally.
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; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers across SW19, with Merton parking rules in play, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste — and this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District), which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Wimbledon Park SW19 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Merton, with 42% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 30% of Wimbledon Park privately rented and 61% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW19 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Merton, with 61% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District).
