Overview
Rubbish removal in Newington Green N16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hackney, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 3,496 households sit inside this N16 patch, 89% of them flats, so we quote on access near Newington Green's 1658 terrace rather than a London average.
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
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Green-side loading limits, one-way streets and permit bays all week.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Canonbury (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 89% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Newington Green actually produces in N16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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
| 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 Newington Green
Census 2021 puts Newington Green at 3,496 households with a median age of 32.9. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 11% houses and 89% flats need different handling in N16.
Owner-occupation runs at 24% in Newington Green, so alongside the 29% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 89% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Newington Green actually produces behind the plaster in N16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in N16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Newington Green knows the pattern near Newington Green's 1658 terrace: historic green with London's oldest brick terrace, ringed by cafés and conversions. We plan the N16 visit around it. Newington Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, green-side loading limits, one-way streets and permit bays all week — 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 Canonbury (Overground).
