Greenwich Rubbish Removal Guide

Greenwich is a mix of old terraces, new riverside homes and big gardens. Here is how to clear waste in each part of the borough.

Houses and gardens in Eltham, Charlton and Blackheath

Garden clearances are common in Eltham, Charlton and Blackheath. Bagged green waste, old fencing and tree cuttings often come out together with an old shed or patio slabs. Tell us what is green waste and what is building waste, as they are handled differently.

Woolwich, Plumstead and Abbey Wood

Some homes have off-street parking, which makes loading easier. Where the van must park on the street, the road may have restrictions. Ask us to plan the stop before the day of the job.

Greenwich Peninsula and new developments

New riverside flats often have management companies with rules on lifts, loading bays and working hours. Send the building name when you book, and check the rules with the managing agent first.

Choosing a licensed collector in Greenwich

  1. Check the waste carrier registration number on the GOV.UK register before the day.
  2. Ask for a receipt that shows what was taken.
  3. For building waste such as plasterboard, rubble or old tiles, say so when you book. These need separate handling and must not be mixed with household rubbish.

Bulky items and the council

Your council can collect large household items. Check its website for the current rules and any charges. If you need the job done sooner, or the council cannot take an item, a licensed collector can help.
