Wandsworth · SW18 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Southfields fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for green waste removal in Southfields SW18? We work in Southfields most weeks — the Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June — 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 owner-occupier-led households around Southfields, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 44% of Southfields's 3,815 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields 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. |

Southfields substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces is the mistake that costs a SW18 customer twice.
The Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Southfields is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. Nearest station is Southfields (District), 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 Southfields on the streets near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance, with 3,815 households on this patch — and 44% of homes here being flats, 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 across SW18. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house on the Southfields rounds, with Wandsworth parking rules in play — and The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance 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 the Southfields rounds, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Southfields most weeks on Wandsworth bookings, with 44% 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 on the Southfields rounds, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Southfields rounds. With 44% of Southfields homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SW18 — and 44% of homes here being flats, with 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, with 24% one-person households here — and 44% of homes here being flats, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers on the Southfields rounds, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Southfields SW18 price you agree is the price you pay for Southfields (SW18) addresses, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
All three. With 33% of Southfields privately rented and 61% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW18 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SW18, with 61% owner-occupation locally — and 44% of homes here being flats.
The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance is the marker we route to in Southfields, with 6% social-rented stock nearby, and championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. A SW18 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Wandsworth, with 24% one-person households here.
