Overview
Rubbish removal in Colliers Wood SW19, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Colliers Wood, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 67% of Colliers Wood's 4,286 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW19 shape the slot length we hold.
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, as the Colliers Wood stock goes, the reality on the streets around Merton Abbey Mills is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photo or a quick video
Send a few photos of the pile or the room and the volume is confirmed against real reference points, not guessed.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
One figure covering volume, tip gate fee and any access cost, with our carrier registration number on it.
Step 3
Book a slot
Most postcodes have a next-day slot; same-day is usually available if you call before mid-morning.
Step 4
Load and go
The crew carries everything out and loads the van — you are not asked to help unless you want to.
Step 5
Transfer note by email
Site, weight and date confirmed the same day, which is what a landlord or the council asks for if waste is ever traced.
Why choose us
Why Colliers Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Colliers Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Merton agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are standard across every borough, and same-day collection is usually available if booked before mid-morning. 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 lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 67% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood actually produces in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Colliers Wood
Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. 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.
| 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. |

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
- On SW19 jobs: loading from inside the property, garden or garage — nothing has to be bagged and dragged to the kerb, agreed on the doorstep in Colliers Wood before anything is unpacked
- In Colliers Wood: a waste transfer note emailed the same day, naming the transfer station and the weight taken, timed against the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern)
- Sweep-up of the area once the rubbish is loaded, noted on the Colliers Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Merton bookings: recyclable material — card, metal, wood and textiles — separated from general waste before tipping, allowing for the 44% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste — which needs a specialist licensed carrier, which we refer on to the right trade in Colliers Wood
- Anything fixed to the building, such as kitchen units still plumbed in or a fitted bathroom suite, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- Trade waste from a registered business, which is quoted separately with a commercial waste transfer note, and we will say so before the SW19 visit rather than on the day

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 →
