How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the garden clearance at your Colchester address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Colchester. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected garden clearance from Colchester is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Garden Clearance starts from £120. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate

All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Garden Clearance FAQs
Do you cut the overgrowth back or just take it?
Cutting back is available as a priced labour item on Colchester jobs. If you have already cut it, collection alone is the cheaper route.
What if there is Japanese knotweed?
We will not touch it. Knotweed is a controlled waste requiring a specialist licensed contractor, and moving it incorrectly is an offence.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Colchester collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the garden clearance is accessible from outside at the Colchester property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Colchester?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium garden clearance loads in Colchester, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Colchester collection is carried out by a registered waste carrier and taken to a licensed facility. Waste transfer documentation is issued where duty of care applies.
Can you collect the same day in Colchester?
Often, yes. Same-day garden clearance in Colchester depends on vehicle availability at the time you call. If we cannot reach you today we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down.
Which Colchester postcodes do you cover for garden clearance?
Yes. Our garden clearance covers the whole of Colchester, including the CO1 and CO3 postcode districts around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Clacton (13 miles), Braintree (15 miles) and Ipswich (16 miles) — distances are straight-line from Colchester. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Colchester?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Colchester, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
