Overview
Rubbish removal in Colliers Wood SW19, explained
This page prices rubbish removal for Colliers Wood SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 44% privately rented and 4,286 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Colliers Wood
Five steps, the same on every SW19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — the pattern behind 4,286 households inside the SW19 neighbourhood 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 Colliers Wood customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW19 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. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Colliers Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Colliers Wood
Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. 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 Colliers Wood
The same scope across SW19, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Merton bookings: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, allowing for the 44% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, noted on the Colliers Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Colliers Wood: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, timed against the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern)
- On SW19 jobs: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, agreed on the doorstep in Colliers Wood before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the SW19 visit rather than on the day
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW19

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 →

Colliers Wood SW19 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Colliers Wood — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
4,286 households sit inside the SW19 neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 67% of those homes are flats.
With 44% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW19 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Colliers Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
The Wandle trail, Merton Abbey Mills and big-box retail on the High Street. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Colliers Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space.

Single item collection starts at £45 in Colliers Wood in this 67% flats neighbourhood, with 29% one-person households here, 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 around Colliers Wood (Northern) — and 47% owner-occupation locally, with Merton parking rules in play.
How much is a small rubbish collection in Colliers Wood SW19?

Around Merton Abbey Mills most jobs are quoted from two photos across SW19, with 33% of Colliers Wood homes being houses, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.
Is this cheaper than a skip in SW19?
Usually, once London Borough of Merton's skip permit, the wait for the licence and the risk of other people filling it are counted on the streets near Merton Abbey Mills, with 33% of Colliers Wood homes being houses. A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight across SW19, with Merton Abbey Mills a few streets away.
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in Colliers Wood?
Yes. 67% of homes here are flats, with 44% of SW19 homes being privately rented — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, 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 across SW19.
Do I get proof of disposal in Merton?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date for Colliers Wood (SW19) addresses. With 44% of Colliers Wood homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see on the streets near Merton Abbey Mills, with this being a short walk from Colliers Wood (Northern).
Do you handle difficult access in Colliers Wood?
High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts on SW19 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Merton it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Colliers Wood rounds — and this being London Borough of Merton territory, with 4,286 households on this patch.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW19?
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 on the Colliers Wood rounds — and Merton Abbey Mills a few streets away, with 29% one-person households here.
