Southwark · SE15 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Peckham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building? Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £55 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Peckham Rye, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 72% of Peckham's 24,172 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 24,172 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood in SE15, 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 Peckham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building.
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. Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays.
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 Peckham
In Peckham (SE15) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 24,172 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (31% owned, 23% privately rented) means a SE15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 24,172 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Peckham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Peckham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building.
Peckham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
On access, rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink).
