Westminster · W2 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Paddington fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Paddington W2 for houses and flats around Paddington Basin and 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
Green waste removal in Paddington W2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Westminster, most of them period conversion. 3,981 households sit inside this W2 patch, 87% of them flats, so we quote on access near Paddington Basin and Little Venice rather than a London average.
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. Basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a W2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Paddington, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Paddington stock goes, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 Paddington
In Paddington (W2) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 3,981 households, and the stock is period conversion.
Because 54% of Paddington is privately rented and 16% socially rented, a lot of W2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Paddington, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in W2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Paddington stock goes, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Canal basin offices and hotels beside Bayswater's stucco terraces and Hyde Park. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Paddington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps. Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) is the nearest station, 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.
