Rubbish disposal prices in Southwark

These are the Southwark floor prices for a rubbish collection. 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. In this borough the additional variables are the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Rubbish disposal price guide for Southwark
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single item collection£4520–40 minOne mattress, sofa or appliance carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station.
Minimum load (approx. 1.5 cubic yards)£9520–30 minA few bags and a couple of items — priced on the space taken, not on a call-out fee.
Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards)£12030–60 minThe usual size for a flat clear-down: bagged waste, a bed frame and some boxes.
Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards)£2001–2 hrsA garage or loft clear-down, still one van and two crew.
Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards)£3802–4 hrsFull van, two crew, the transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included.

Working in Southwark

Why Southwark is not a generic London job

The Shard and Tate Modern is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Southwark.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Southwark is riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the aylesbury, victorian terraces and dulwich's detached villas, and the mix changes street by street — Bermondsey (SE16), Camberwell (SE5) and Canada Water (SE16) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the new kent road and cpzs from se1 to peckham.

London Borough of Southwark rules

Fly-tipping enforcement in Southwark follows the householder, not whoever took the bags. London Borough of Southwark traces waste back to the address it came from.

How the borough got this way

Southwark took its present shape because london's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.

Scope

What's included in Southwark

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bermondsey or Walworth.

Included in the price

  • Two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first
  • Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day
  • Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste
  • A sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves

Not included

  • Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier
  • Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out
  • Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed

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.
