Most gardens only get a proper clearance once every few years — a tidy-up before selling, a new tenancy, or an overgrown back garden that finally needs to go. When it happens, you need a team that turns up, clears it cleanly, and recycles where they can.
MM Rubbish Clearance is based in N1, Islington. We carry out full and part clearances across North, Central and East London — green waste, garden rubbish and overgrown gardens stripped back. Same day where needed, seven days a week.
Every garden clearance project is different. Some customers need a complete garden strip-out before selling a property, preparing for new tenants, or making way for landscaping work. Others simply need hedge cuttings removed, an old shed dismantled, or years of accumulated outdoor waste cleared away.
At MM Rubbish Clearance, we remove green waste, unwanted garden items, bulky outdoor furniture, broken fencing, old decking, soil, turf, branches, shrubs and general garden rubbish from homes, landlords, estate agents and commercial properties across London.
Whether it is a small tidy-up, an overgrown garden, or waste left behind after building or landscaping work, our team leaves the space clean, accessible and ready to use again. We provide fixed quotes, flexible collection times and responsible disposal through licensed waste facilities.
Recent clearance completed in Haringey N8 involving uprooted shrubs, plant pots, landscaping rocks and unwanted garden furniture. All waste was loaded, removed and processed through licensed waste facilities.
Branches, hedge cuttings, leaves, weeds, grass clippings, shrubs, plants and turf removed from gardens of all sizes.
Brambles, ivy, self-seeded trees and years of unmanaged growth cleared to restore safe and usable outdoor space.
Outdoor tables, chairs, benches, BBQs, trampolines, storage boxes and unwanted garden furniture removed in one visit.
Old sheds, greenhouses, summer houses and garden structures dismantled and cleared, including contents where required.
Plant pots, compost, soil, sleepers, decorative stones, planters and other heavy garden materials removed safely and efficiently.
Broken fence panels, timber decking, lifted turf, paving slabs and hard landscaping waste collected and disposed of responsibly.
Already done the hard work? If your waste is bagged up, piled in a corner or stacked by the side return, you don't need a full clearance — just a collection. We pick up bagged green waste, branches, hedge cuttings, soil, turf and rubble across North, Central and East London, usually the same day.
We also handle bulk collections — multi-load jobs, post-landscaping clear-ups and ongoing pickups for gardeners and landscapers who'd rather be on the next job than queuing at the tip. For most jobs under a full load, this works out cheaper than a skip — and a lot less hassle.
No surveys, no callbacks, no waiting around for a man with a clipboard. WhatsApp a few photos and we'll send back a fixed quote — usually within minutes. Same-day collection where needed, seven days a week.
Send a few photos of your garden waste, or just call and describe it. We'll come back with a fixed price — no obligation, no hidden fees.
Book us in for the same day, next day, or whatever suits. Our team turns up on time, in branded vehicles, and gets the job done quickly and cleanly.
We sort everything for recycling, reuse and licensed disposal. You get a Waste Transfer Note for your records — and a tidy garden ready to use again.
Prices depend on volume — how much green waste, soil, bulky items and rubble we're loading into the van. Send photos for an exact fixed price, or use the guide below as a starting point.
A few waste sacks, hedge cuttings, some pots and a couple of bulky items. Front-garden tidy-ups and small clearances.
Half a Luton van — branches, soil, decking offcuts, broken furniture, old BBQ, fence panels and assorted green waste.
Most of a Luton van — larger overgrown clearances, shed contents, bigger volumes of soil, turf and bulky items.
A full Luton van — full overgrown strip-out, dismantled sheds, large quantities of soil, turf, rubble and bulky items.
Prices include labour, transport, licensed disposal and a Waste Transfer Note. For larger jobs (multi-load clearances, commercial gardens or full landscape strip-outs) we'll quote per job after a quick WhatsApp.
Every job we carry out is backed by full Environment Agency licensing, £1 million public liability insurance and a digital Waste Transfer Note on completion. That's your legal proof your garden waste has been disposed of properly — essential for landlords, businesses and anyone who values doing things the right way.

MM Rubbish Clearance · Based in Islington N1 · Licensed garden clearance since December 2019
Everything you need to know before booking — pricing, timing, access, what we take, and how the licensing works.
Prices start from £125 for a quarter load and go up to £540 for a full Luton van. Most front-garden tidy-ups fall in the £125–£250 range, while full overgrown clearances usually land between £300 and £540. The final price depends on volume, access (stairs, distance from the van, parking), and the proportion of heavy materials in the load (soil, bricks, rubble). WhatsApp us a few photos of your garden waste and we'll come back with a fixed price within minutes.
Yes — same-day is our default. WhatsApp before midday with photos and your postcode, and we can usually be there the same afternoon. We operate seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, with no extra charge for same-day service across our core North, Central and East London areas.
Everything you'd expect to find in a London garden: green waste (branches, leaves, hedge cuttings, weeds, grass, turf), soil and compost, plant pots and broken planters, garden furniture, BBQs, parasols, ping pong tables, sheds and shed contents, decking, fence panels, landscaping rocks, trampolines, and old children's play equipment. If it's in the garden and you want it gone, we can take it. The only things we can't take are hazardous waste (asbestos, paint, chemicals) — though we can advise on the right specialist if you have any.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the garden waste — front gardens, rear access, side gates, or items left out for collection — we can clear it without you being there. We'll send before-and-after photos on WhatsApp and the digital Waste Transfer Note as soon as the job's done. This is especially useful for landlords, letting agents and probate clearances where the customer isn't on-site.
Yes. MM Rubbish Clearance holds an Upper Tier Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence (CBDU418527), verifiable on the public register at environment.data.gov.uk. We also carry £1 million public liability insurance and issue a digital Waste Transfer Note on every job — your legal proof under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 that your garden waste has been disposed of correctly. Always ask any clearance company for both before booking — if they can't provide them, walk away.
Every load goes to an authorised licensed waste transfer station — never fly-tipped or dumped. Green waste is sent for composting wherever possible. Soil, rubble and inert materials go to construction recycling facilities. Garden furniture, pots and bulky items are sorted for reuse, recycling or licensed disposal. You'll get a digital Waste Transfer Note showing exactly where your waste went.
In practice, very little — most London customers use the terms interchangeably. We treat "garden waste removal" as removing existing piles of green waste, bags, branches and clippings (typically lighter and faster). "Garden clearance" usually means a fuller job — clearing overgrown beds, dismantling sheds, removing furniture and bulky items alongside the green waste. Both are priced by volume on the same Luton van basis, so the label doesn't change your quote.
Yes — overgrown gardens are one of our core jobs. Whether it's brambles, ivy, self-seeded trees, decades of neglected growth, or a back garden that hasn't been touched in years, we'll cut it back, bag it up and take it away on the same visit. For very large or heavily overgrown gardens we may need a full Luton van or two — send photos on WhatsApp for a fixed quote.
Yes. We dismantle and remove rotting sheds, summer houses, greenhouses and old playhouses — including everything inside. Old paint, garden chemicals and pesticides need to be disposed of separately as hazardous waste, but we can advise on the right route. For larger or steel-framed structures, send photos and we'll let you know what's involved.
Wherever possible, yes. Pure green waste (branches, leaves, grass, prunings) is sent for industrial composting and reused as soil improver. Garden furniture in good condition is donated or sold on. Pots and planters are reused. Soil and rubble are recycled at construction facilities. The only material that goes to landfill is genuinely non-recyclable mixed waste — typically less than 5% of any load.
Yes — garden waste collection is one of our most-booked services. The difference: no annual subscription, no fortnightly schedule, no bag limits, and we take everything the council green bin service won't — soil, turf, rubble, fence panels, shed contents and bulky garden items. WhatsApp a photo of the pile and we'll usually collect the same day, with a fixed price agreed before we arrive.
For most garden jobs, yes. A skip comes with a council permit if it's on the road, you load it yourself, and you pay for the whole skip even if it's half empty. We price by the space your waste actually takes in the van, our team does all the loading, and there's nothing sitting outside your house for a week. For anything up to around a full Luton load, collection usually works out cheaper and far quicker than a skip.
If you've got a car and a small amount, your nearest council reuse and recycling centre will take bagged garden waste for free (check your borough's booking rules). It stops making sense when there's more than a boot-load, the bags are heavy with soil, or you'd need several trips. That's where a collection wins: we come to you, load everything in one visit, and it's composted or recycled through licensed facilities — usually for less than the cost of your time and a hire van.
Yes — with two men and a Luton van, to be precise. You get the flexibility and pricing of a man and van, plus the things many don't offer: an Upper Tier EA Waste Carrier Licence (CBDU418527), £1 million public liability insurance, and a digital Waste Transfer Note on every job. If a man and van can't show you both, your waste may end up fly-tipped — and legally, that comes back to you.
Yes. End-of-tenancy clearances for landlords and letting agents (no need to attend — we send photos and the Waste Transfer Note), communal gardens for property managers, waste collection for landscapers and gardeners, and full allotment clearances back to workable soil. Regular or multi-site work? Ask about trade rates on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp us — we usually reply within minutes during working hours.
Searching for a man and van for your garden waste? That's us — with a couple of upgrades. Every job comes with a two-man team and a Luton van, so heavy soil bags, rubble sacks and dismantled sheds aren't a problem.
And unlike most outfits, we're Upper Tier EA licensed (CBDU418527), fully insured, and you get a digital Waste Transfer Note on every job — so your waste never ends up fly-tipped in a lay-by with your name on it.
Heavy lifting handled — soil, rubble, sheds and bulky items loaded for you.
Priced by the volume your waste takes up in the van, making it much cheaper than hiring a full skip.
Complete peace of mind with an official Waste Transfer Note ensuring fully compliant recycling.
No surveys, no callbacks, no waiting around for a man with a clipboard. WhatsApp a few photos and we'll send back a fixed quote — usually within minutes. Same-day collection where needed, seven days a week.
