Overview
Rubbish removal in Hackney Wick E9, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Hackney Wick, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 69% of Hackney Wick's 2,805 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Hackney Wick
Five steps, the same on every E9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Hackney Wick gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Hackney Wick customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Hackney Wick wall.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hackney Wick walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 69% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hackney Wick actually produces in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Hackney Wick
Fixed prices for E9 and the rest of Hackney. 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 Hackney Wick
The same scope across E9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, checked on every E9 visit
- Standard on Hackney bookings: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 2,805 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On E9 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, rubbish removal london included
- In Hackney Wick: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, sized for the narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on Hackney Wick bookings
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E9
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, handled by London Borough of Hackney 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 →
