Wandsworth · SW15 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Putney fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for green waste removal in Putney SW15? We work in Putney most weeks — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — 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
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Putney, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 72% of Putney's 20,613 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW15 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. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW15, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
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 Putney
Putney SW15 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 20,613 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 38% of Putney is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Putney substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW15, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Nearest station is Putney (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 Putney on SW15 jobs, with 20,613 households on this patch — and 31% one-person households here, 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 Putney (South Western). A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house across SW15 — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with Wandsworth parking rules in play, 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 in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Putney most weeks on this side of Wandsworth, with 72% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Wandsworth. With 72% of Putney homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SW15, with 20,613 households on this patch — and 28% of Putney homes being houses, 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 across SW15, 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 — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with 47% owner-occupation locally, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Putney SW15 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Wandsworth, with 14% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 38% of Putney privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Wandsworth — and 20,613 households on this patch, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start is the marker we route to on this side of Wandsworth — and this being a short walk from Putney (South Western), with 72% of homes here being flats, and boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SW15 jobs, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
