Overview
This page prices green waste removal for St Margarets TW1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 29% privately rented and 2,701 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond 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
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. Narrow village streets with permit bays and flood-zone riverside access.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. St Margarets (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in TW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from St Margarets (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
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. |

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 →

Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in TW1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in TW1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from St Margarets (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
