Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Cheam SM3 specifically: inter-war stock, 15% privately rented and 13,016 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Sutton 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. Driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Cheam (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside, measured on the walk in from Cheam (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in SM3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cheam stock goes, the reality on the streets around Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam.
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 Cheam
In Cheam (SM3) the split is 21% flats to 79% houses over 13,016 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 15% of Cheam is privately rented and 4% socially rented, a lot of SM3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside, measured on the walk in from Cheam (Southern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Cheam is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cheam stock goes, the reality on the streets around Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam.
A village centre with timber-framed buildings and Nonsuch Park on the edge. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Cheam is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays. Nearest station is Cheam (Southern), 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.

A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house for Cheam (SM3) addresses, with 4% social-rented stock nearby — and 15% of SM3 homes being privately rented, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Cheam most weeks on Sutton bookings, with Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam a few streets away.

With 21% of Cheam homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Cheam rounds — and 15% of SM3 homes being privately rented, with 81% 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 in Cheam. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling on Sutton bookings, with Sutton parking rules in play — and 79% of Cheam homes being houses, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.

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 79% of Cheam homes being houses, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, 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 in this 21% flats neighbourhood, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Cheam SM3 price you agree is the price you pay on Sutton bookings, with 13,016 households on this patch.
