Overview
Rubbish removal in Greenwich SE10, explained
Rubbish removal in Greenwich SE10 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Greenwich, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 17,397 households sit inside this SE10 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark rather than a London average.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map 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 customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Greenwich
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
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, with 17,397 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 SE10 visit
- In Greenwich: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
- On SE10 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
In Greenwich (SE10) the split is 73% flats to 27% houses over 17,397 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (40% owned, 31% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark.
World Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — 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 Cutty Sark (DLR).

Common questions
Rubbish removal in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Greenwich SE10?
Single item collection starts at £45 in Greenwich across SE10, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, 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 the Greenwich rounds — and 17,397 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
How much is a small rubbish collection in Greenwich SE10?
A minimum load is £95 and a quarter-load £120, priced on the space the waste takes in the van for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark most jobs are quoted from two photos in Greenwich, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), 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 around Cutty Sark (DLR), with 32% one-person households here. A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight in Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in Greenwich?
Yes. 73% of homes here are flats, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, 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 for Greenwich (SE10) addresses.
Do I get proof of disposal in Greenwich?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on SE10 jobs. With 31% of Greenwich homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see around Cutty Sark (DLR), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to across SE10 — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with 29% social-rented stock nearby, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 40% owner-occupation locally.
Is same-day or evening rubbish removal available in Greenwich?
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours in Greenwich, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Greenwich sits close to Cutty Sark (DLR), with 40% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a SE10 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice on this side of Greenwich.
