Garden clearance without hiring a skip
We collect garden and green waste from homes, rental properties, communal grounds and business premises across London, Surrey, Kent and Essex, from £72 + VAT. Our team loads it for you. You don't need a skip, a permit or a trip to the tip.
A skip on the road usually needs a council permit, sits there for days and is often filled by neighbours. A man-and-van collection is quicker: we arrive, load and leave on the same visit. You pay only for the space your waste takes up.
We often clear gardens after a landscaping job or tree work, at the end of a tenancy, when preparing a house for sale, and for vegetation clearance on overgrown sites, verges and commercial grounds.
Garden waste we take
- Grass cuttings & leaves
- Hedge trimmings, prunings & branches
- Overgrowth, brambles & shrubs already cut
- Fence panels & shed panels already taken down
- Garden furniture, pots & planters
- Old barbecues (empty, no gas bottles)
Tips to keep your garden clearance cost down
- Bag loose cuttings and leaves. Bagged waste packs tighter, so it takes less volume.
- Cut long branches down to about a metre so they lie flat in the van.
- Tell us about heavy material. Soil, turf, stone and rubble are heavy, and each load includes a 200kg weight allowance. Mention them in the booking notes.
- Leave it in one place near the access point if you can. Each load includes 30 minutes of labour.

Why use a licensed waste carrier?
In England, householders and businesses have a legal duty of care to give their waste only to a registered waste carrier. If an unlicensed "man with a van" fly-tips your rubbish, you can be fined. Every London Waste Clearance collection comes with a waste transfer note, so you have proof your waste was handled legally.
