London rubbish disposal · Central London
We work in Islington every week — georgian squares and canal basins around angel, giving way to dense estates and arsenal crowds further north. Rubbish disposal is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay. Commercial and landlord invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, are itemised in the written quote before the crew is booked.
Working in Islington
The stock in Islington is four-storey georgian terraces with basements, victorian conversions and large council estates around finsbury park, and the mix changes street by street — Angel (N1), Archway (N19) and Barnsbury (N1) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: wall-to-wall cpzs, red routes on holloway road and city road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all.
London Borough of Islington runs bulky-waste collections and reuse and recycling centres, and for one or two items in Islington they are worth using.
A spa and pleasure-garden suburb that filled with Georgian and early Victorian terraces, then gentrified hard from the 1970s. That history is why Islington property behaves the way it does today.

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 →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Didn't clear rubbish from under the bed and some marks on walls look like they haven't been attempted at removing. Other than that was a good job considering the state of the flat.
