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. |

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 Newham
Newham is built from terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in e20 and the royal docks, and the mix changes street by street — Beckton (E6), Canning Town (E16) and Custom House (E16) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Newham sets the constraint: new-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around east ham are permit-only and tight. Locally that means wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east london and a13 and lower lea crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts. Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Newham offers a bulky-waste collection for Newham 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.
Why it looks like this: built for dockers and beckton gasworks labour; the 2012 games rebuilt stratford and the lower lea valley wholesale.
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.

A full top-to-bottom clean of the property once it has been emptied.
Boot-load of mixed rubbish starts at £40 in Newham, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E12, E13, E15, E16, E20, E6 and E7. On the ground that includes Beckton, Canning Town, Custom House, East Ham, East Village and Forest Gate.
Next-day slots are standard across every borough, and same-day collection is usually available if booked before mid-morning. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Newham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in E20 and the Royal Docks 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 Newham 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 Newham 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 Newham, 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.
