Croydon · CR0 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Addiscombe fitters · Fixed written pricesAddiscombe CR0 is a regular stop on our Croydon round. Tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon, so rubbish removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with licensed carriers, recycling split on the van, paperwork the same day.
Overview
This page prices rubbish removal for Addiscombe CR0 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 33% privately rented and 11,026 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
A couple of photos are enough for a volume price; nobody has to be on site to be quoted.
Step 2
Volume, tip charge and any permit are itemised in one figure before the van is booked.
Step 3
Crew carry from wherever it sits — flat, garden, communal bin store or garage.
Step 4
Metal, WEEE, wood and textiles are separated on the van rather than tipped as one load.
Step 5
A waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email.
Why choose us
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 11,026 households inside the CR0 neighbourhood.
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.
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 Addiscombe
The CR0 stock around Ashburton Park is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 42% flats, 58% houses and 11,026 households in Addiscombe.
Owner-occupation runs at 54% in Addiscombe, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in CR0. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 11,026 households inside the CR0 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Addiscombe: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, 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.
