Overview
Rubbish removal in Hampstead NW3, explained

How it works
How rubbish removal works in Hampstead
Five steps, the same on every NW3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and with 37% one-person households in Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photograph the pile
A couple of photos are enough for a volume price; nobody has to be on site to be quoted.
Step 2
Fixed price, then a slot
Volume, tip charge and any permit are itemised in one figure before the van is booked.
Step 3
Carry and load
Crew carry from wherever it sits — flat, garden, communal bin store or garage.
Step 4
Split for recycling
Metal, WEEE, wood and textiles are separated on the van rather than tipped as one load.
Step 5
Paperwork same day
A waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email.
Why choose us
Why Hampstead customers book us
Four things decide whether a NW3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Hampstead walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Hampstead, with solid brick on the party and external walls, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Insured and documented
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every collection — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Hampstead
Fixed prices for NW3 and the rest of Camden. Volume sets the price and access moves it: stairs above the second floor without a lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three London variables.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item collection | £45 | 20–40 min | One mattress, sofa or appliance carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station. |
| Minimum load (approx. 1.5 cubic yards) | £95 | 20–30 min | A few bags and a couple of items — priced on the space taken, not on a call-out fee. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £120 | 30–60 min | The usual size for a flat clear-down: bagged waste, a bed frame and some boxes. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £200 | 1–2 hrs | A garage or loft clear-down, still one van and two crew. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew, the transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included. |
| Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Soil, rubble and hardcore are capped by weight rather than space — heavy loads cost more per yard. |

Scope
What's included in Hampstead
The same scope across NW3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Camden bookings: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, with 11,433 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, checked on every NW3 visit
- In Hampstead: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, sized for the steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from whitestone pond
- On NW3 jobs: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, rubbish removal included
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW3
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on Hampstead bookings
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Hampstead NW3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hampstead — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
Hampstead NW3 is Georgian and early Victorian and renter-heavy: 84% of homes here are flats and 17% are houses, across 11,433 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 45% private renting against 39% owner-occupied, most NW3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Hampstead, with solid brick on the party and external walls, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Hampstead 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 — georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep — which is why a NW3 quote is not a Camden average.
Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Nearest station is Hampstead (Northern), and two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space.

Common questions
Rubbish removal in Hampstead NW3 — your questions.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Hampstead NW3?
Single item collection starts at £45 in Hampstead on NW3 jobs, with 84% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume sets the price and access moves it: stairs above the second floor without a lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three London variables around Hampstead (Northern), with this being London Borough of Camden territory.
How much is a small rubbish collection in Hampstead NW3?
A minimum load is £95 and a quarter-load £120, priced on the space the waste takes in the van around Hampstead (Northern), with 37% one-person households here. Around Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House most jobs are quoted from two photos on NW3 jobs, with 11,433 households on this patch, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.
Is this cheaper than a skip in NW3?
Usually, once London Borough of Camden's skip permit, the wait for the licence and the risk of other people filling it are counted on this side of Camden, with this being a short walk from Hampstead (Northern). A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight on NW3 jobs, with 39% owner-occupation locally.
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in Hampstead?
Yes. 84% of homes here are flats, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 37% one-person households here, so lift bookings, porter sign-in and communal bin stores are routine — tell us the floor and whether there is a lift and the crew size is set for it on this side of Camden. Near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Do I get proof of disposal in Camden?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date across NW3. With 45% of Hampstead homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see on this side of Camden, with Camden parking rules in play.
Do you handle difficult access in Hampstead?
5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Camden it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on NW3 jobs — and this being London Borough of Camden territory, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Are your fitters insured for work in NW3?
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every collection — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped on NW3 jobs — and Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House a few streets away, with 17% social-rented stock nearby. That paperwork is what most Camden letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House, with 37% one-person households here.
