Garden waste
Garden waste removal, clearance & shed clearance in Cardiff & Newport
Hedge trimmings, branches, turf, decking, old fence panels and the shed they were leaning on. Bagged or loose, we load it from wherever it has been piled.
Garden waste costs less than general waste
Green waste costs us less to dispose of than mixed household rubbish, so we charge less for it. A quarter van of garden waste is £80 against £160 for general waste, and a full van is £250 against £450. If the load is genuinely garden waste, that is what you pay.
It does not need to be bagged and it does not need to be at the front. Most of the garden jobs we do in Cardiff are a pile at the bottom of the garden that has been growing since spring, and we carry it out through the house or the side gate ourselves. Wondering how to remove garden waste? Same answer: pile it where it is, and we do the rest. The average cost for garden waste removal in our vans is £80 for a quarter load, £140 half and £250 full — and garden waste removal cost always gets quoted on a photo before we arrive.

- Bagged or loose — we bag it if it is loose
- Carried out from the back garden, not just the kerb
Green waste, garden clearance & sheds
Green waste collection, garden clearance and shed clearance
Three jobs people search for under different names — and they're all the same van, at the same garden rates.
Green waste collection is the biodegradable garden stuff: grass cuttings, leaves, prunings, hedge trimmings and weeds. Garden clearance is the fuller version — a whole garden tidied and taken away, including turf, decking, fence panels, old planters and the overgrowth that hid them. Shed clearance is exactly what it sounds like: we dismantle the shed on the spot — panels, felt roof, frame and contents — and take the lot.
All of it travels at the garden waste rate, not the general rubbish rate: £80 a quarter van, £140 a half, £250 a full 16 cubic yard load. That is because green waste costs us less to dispose of than general rubbish — and we pass the difference on. If a load mixes garden waste with household rubbish, we price it honestly by what is actually in it — send a photo and we will tell you the rate before we set off.

Good to know
Garden waste removal — your questions answered
Do you take hedge cuttings?
Yes — hedge trimmings and cuttings are the most common garden load we carry, bagged or loose.
Can you take tree branches?
Yes — branches, small trunks and tree waste go with the rest, and we can cut material down to size on site.
Do you dismantle sheds?
Yes — panels, felt roof, frame and contents all come down on the spot and go in the van. That's the shed clearance side of what we do.
How often can you collect?
As often as you need. Gardeners and grounds teams use us on a weekly schedule, and we can set a regular collection slot.
What is green waste?
Grass cuttings, leaves, prunings, hedge trimmings and weeds — the biodegradable garden stuff that travels at our cheaper garden rates.
Is garden clearance the same as garden waste removal?
Mostly — garden clearance is a full tidy (including sheds) taken away at the same garden rates, never general waste rates.
Sheds, decking and fence panels
A rotten shed is the job people put off longest, because it is a day of work and a car boot will not touch it. We take it apart, load the panels and the felt, sweep the base, and take the lot in one go.
Decking and fencing are the same. Old panels, posts still set in concrete, decking boards and joists all go in the van. If the concrete is still on the post, that is fine — it goes in as it is.
