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 Canning Town E16 specifically: post-war stock, 38% privately rented and 14,847 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham 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. Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Canning Town stock goes, which is what a 66% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Canning Town actually produces.
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. A13 and Lower Lea Crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and 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 Canning Town
14,847 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Canning Town. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 66% of those homes are flats.
With 38% private renting against 27% owner-occupied, most E16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Canning Town is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Canning Town stock goes, which is what a 66% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Canning Town actually produces.
Canning Town 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 — rebuilt interchange district of new blocks beside the Lea mouth and Bow Creek — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
A13 and Lower Lea Crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts. Nearest station is Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR), 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.
