Wandsworth · SW11 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Battersea fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Battersea SW11 for houses and flats around Battersea Power Station. 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
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Battersea Power Station, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 87% of Battersea's 6,832 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 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
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. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces.
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 Battersea
6,832 households sit inside the SW11 neighbourhood covering Battersea. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 87% of those homes are flats.
With 33% private renting against 38% owner-occupied, most SW11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
The rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Battersea is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets — 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.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Battersea on the streets near Battersea Power Station — and 38% owner-occupation locally, with 28% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

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 on the Battersea rounds, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers — and 6,832 households on this patch, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, with 13% of Battersea homes being houses, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay on SW11 jobs, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
