London rubbish disposal · Central London
Rubbish disposal across Lambeth, from SE1, SE11 and SE19 outwards. South Bank culture, Brixton's markets and the Victorian grid running out to Streatham, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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 Lambeth
Lambeth is built from victorian terraces and conversions, edwardian mansion blocks and estates such as angell town, and the mix changes street by street — Balham (SW12), Brixton (SW9) and Clapham (SW4) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, red routes on the a23 and a3, seven-day cpzs in brixton and clapham, and heavy nightlife loading pressure.
London Borough of Lambeth runs bulky-waste collections and reuse and recycling centres, and for one or two items in Lambeth they are worth using.
Why it looks like this: marshland drained for pleasure gardens, then covered in victorian terraces; the windrush generation reshaped brixton from 1948.

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 →
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.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
