Richmond upon Thames · TW1 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Twickenham fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for green waste removal in Twickenham TW1? We work in Twickenham most weeks — rugby's home ground, riverside Georgian villas and Eel Pie Island — and price green waste removal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £55, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Twickenham TW1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 13,661 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
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. Match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Twickenham (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW1 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, measured on the walk in from Twickenham (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in TW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Twickenham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Twickenham

Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Twickenham (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Twickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Twickenham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Rugby's home ground, riverside Georgian villas and Eel Pie Island. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Twickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access. Nearest station is Twickenham (South Western), 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 Twickenham on TW1 jobs, with 7% social-rented stock nearby — and 65% owner-occupation locally, 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 Twickenham (South Western). A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house across TW1 — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with Twickenham Stadium and Strawberry Hill House a few streets away, 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 Richmond upon Thames, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Twickenham most weeks across TW1, with this being a short walk from Twickenham (South Western).
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 Richmond upon Thames, with 7% social-rented stock nearby. On Twickenham jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across TW1. With 39% of Twickenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Twickenham (South Western), with 27% of TW1 homes being privately rented — and 65% owner-occupation locally, 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 — and this being a short walk from Twickenham (South Western), with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste across TW1, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Twickenham TW1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 39% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 27% of Twickenham privately rented and 65% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across TW1 — and 65% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
Twickenham Stadium and Strawberry Hill House is the marker we route to around Twickenham (South Western), with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory — and 29% one-person households here, and match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access.
