London rubbish removal · Central London
Local rubbish removal for Camden and its 16 covered areas. Market crowds and canal-side warehouses in the south, Hampstead's Georgian hill village in the north.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boot-load of mixed rubbish | £40 | 15–30 min | Priced for a small car boot's worth — bin bags, packaging and small offcuts that do not justify a van visit. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £95 | 30–60 min | Charged on the volume the rubbish takes in the van, weighed against the transfer station's gate rate. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £165 | 45–90 min | A typical loft, garage or shed's worth of mixed general waste, loaded by hand from wherever it sits. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £300 | 1.5–3 hrs | Full van and the transfer-station charge, with the waste transfer note issued the same day. |
| Two-van full load | £560 | 3–5 hrs | Where one van cannot take the volume in a single trip; two crews run in parallel rather than one van doing two runs. |
| Rubbish removal with same-day booking | +£25 | Within hours | A dispatch premium for slotting a same-day job between booked collections rather than a next-day charge. |

Rubbish removal with same-day booking
+£25 · Within hours
A dispatch premium for slotting a same-day job between booked collections rather than a next-day charge.
Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Rubbish is priced by volume in the van, not by weight or by the hour, and the figure is confirmed before the crew is booked. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.
Working in Camden
The stock in Camden is georgian townhouses, victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts, and the mix changes street by street — Belsize Park (NW3), Bloomsbury (WC1) and Camden Town (NW1) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: camden's cpzs run seven days in parts of kentish town and camden town; narrow hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a luton. Locally that means resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights and camden cpz all week, listed staircases and squares where loading needs a bay suspension. Part of Camden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
London Borough of Camden offers a bulky-waste collection for Camden residents, but slots commonly run one to three weeks out and most boroughs cap the number of items per booking. Where a load has to be gone this week — a tenancy end, a clear-before-viewing, a skip that would need a permit — that is the gap we fill under our own waste carrier licence.
Camden took its present shape because the canal and the railway termini made camden town an industrial goods yard; bloomsbury grew as a planned estate of garden squares.
Scope
Method
Step 1
Send a few photos of the pile or the room and the volume is confirmed against real reference points, not guessed.
Step 2
One figure covering volume, tip gate fee and any access cost, with our carrier registration number on it.
Step 3
Most postcodes have a next-day slot; same-day is usually available if you call before mid-morning.
Step 4
The crew carries everything out and loads the van — you are not asked to help unless you want to.
Step 5
Site, weight and date confirmed the same day, which is what a landlord or the council asks for if waste is ever traced.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
The wider rubbish disposal hub — every waste stream we collect, in one place.
Sofas, beds, wardrobes and mattresses collected per item, dismantling included.
Whole-property clears, probate and end-of-tenancy strip-outs, sorted room by room.
A full top-to-bottom clean of the property once it has been emptied.
Boot-load of mixed rubbish starts at £40 in Camden, and the ladder runs up to +£25 for the largest job on the table above. Volume in the van is the main driver. Walk-up flats above the second floor with no lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are what add crew time to an otherwise identical load. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: EC1, N1, N1C, N6, N7, NW1, NW3, NW5, NW6 and WC1 and the rest of the Camden outward codes. On the ground that includes Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town, Chalk Farm, Dartmouth Park and Euston.
Next-day slots are standard across every borough, and same-day collection is usually available if booked before mid-morning. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Camden and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Georgian townhouses, Victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Registered upper-tier waste carrier with the Environment Agency. A waste transfer note is issued for every collection, which is the document that protects you if rubbish is later found fly-tipped — liability for the waste otherwise sits with whoever produced it, not the person who took it away. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Camden tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Camden postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste — which needs a specialist licensed carrier, Anything fixed to the building, such as kitchen units still plumbed in or a fitted bathroom suite and Trade waste from a registered business, which is quoted separately with a commercial waste transfer note. If something on that list turns up in Camden, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.
