Westminster · W9 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Maida Vale fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Maida Vale W9 for houses and flats around Little Venice. 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 renter-heavy households around Maida Vale, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 95% of Maida Vale's 3,623 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W9 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. Maida Vale (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a W9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Maida Vale, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Maida Vale (Bakerloo) rather than assumed from a map in W9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Maida Vale gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads.
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. |

Maida Vale substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Maida Vale, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Maida Vale (Bakerloo) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Maida Vale gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a W9 customer twice.
Maida Vale 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 — wide tree-lined avenues of Edwardian mansion blocks above the Regent's Canal at Little Venice — which is why a W9 quote is not a Westminster average.
On access, mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads — 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.
