Overview
Rubbish removal in Greenwich Peninsula SE10, explained
Rubbish removal in Greenwich Peninsula SE10 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them recent new-build. 3,769 households sit inside this SE10 patch, 78% of them flats, so we quote on access near The O2 Arena rather than a London average.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Greenwich Peninsula
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE10, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood 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 Greenwich Peninsula customers book us
What follows is specific to Greenwich Peninsula: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
Greenwich Peninsula walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich Peninsula, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Greenwich Peninsula stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Greenwich Peninsula
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Greenwich Peninsula
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Greenwich Peninsula: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, timed against the walk in from North Greenwich (Jubilee)
- On SE10 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, agreed on the doorstep in Greenwich Peninsula before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, allowing for the 25% of SE10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, noted on the Greenwich Peninsula job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich Peninsula
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10

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 Greenwich Peninsula
Greenwich Peninsula SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich Peninsula — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
In Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 3,769 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
Because 25% of Greenwich Peninsula is privately rented and 31% socially rented, a lot of SE10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich Peninsula, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich Peninsula is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Greenwich Peninsula stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block — one reason two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Fitters travelling in use North Greenwich (Jubilee).

How much does rubbish removal cost in Greenwich Peninsula SE10?
Single item collection starts at £45 in Greenwich Peninsula on the Greenwich Peninsula rounds, with The O2 Arena a few streets away, 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 on SE10 jobs — and 44% owner-occupation locally, with 25% of SE10 homes being privately rented.
How much is a small rubbish collection in Greenwich Peninsula SE10?

Around The O2 Arena most jobs are quoted from two photos on Greenwich bookings, with 44% owner-occupation locally, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.
Is this cheaper than a skip in SE10?
Usually, once Royal Borough of Greenwich's skip permit, the wait for the licence and the risk of other people filling it are counted on this side of Greenwich, with 25% of SE10 homes being privately rented. A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee).
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in Greenwich Peninsula?
Yes. 78% of homes here are flats, with Greenwich parking rules in play — and 78% of homes here being flats, 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 the Greenwich Peninsula rounds.
Do I get proof of disposal in Greenwich?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date for Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) addresses. With 25% of Greenwich Peninsula homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see on the streets near The O2 Arena, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.

A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Greenwich Peninsula, with 44% owner-occupation locally.
