Garden Waste Collection on Richmond Road, E8 – Booked on Saturday, Collected Early Sunday Near London Fields

A customer on Richmond Road in Hackney, near London Fields and Hackney Town Hall, contacted MM Rubbish Clearance on a Saturday. They had bagged up grass, garden cuttings and some soil and left the bags in their front garden. We collected them early on Sunday morning. One operator cleared the bags from beside the gatepost and the space was clear in minutes.

Can You Collect Garden Waste on a Sunday if I Call on Saturday?

Yes, when we have a Sunday slot available. Richmond Road is less than a mile and a half from our base in Islington N1, so this one was booked on the Saturday and collected the next morning.

Garden waste collection on Richmond Road E8 – green garden bags of cuttings and white sacks grouped beside the brick gatepost in a front garden before collection — Before: bagged grass, cuttings and soil beside the gatepost on Richmond Road, E8.

Do I Need to Put My Garden Bags Out on the Pavement?

No. On Richmond Road the bags stayed just inside the front wall, beside the garden path, which kept them off the public footway until the moment they were collected. Our operator parked about two or three car lengths from the property. Each bag was light enough for him to carry straight to the van, so one person could do the whole collection.

The before and after photos show the same corner of the garden, taken eight minutes apart, at 9:29am and 9:37am. Before collection, the sacks were grouped beside the brick gatepost. By the time our operator left, the bags were gone and the space beside the path was clear. The green reusable garden bags were the customer's own, so they were emptied and left behind for next time.

The same front garden corner on Richmond Road E8 after the garden waste collection – waste gone and the soil bed beside the gatepost clear, with the customer's own reusable garden bag left behind — After: the same corner of the front garden on Richmond Road, E8, cleared. The customer kept their own reusable garden bags.

Is It Cheaper if I Bag Up the Grass Myself?

Yes. We charge more for loose grass when our operator needs to shovel it into bags before loading. On this job, the customer had already done the bagging, so we could get straight on with the collection.

Sturdy garden bags work well for grass and cuttings. If you have soil too, split it across several bags to keep each one manageable, and tell us which bags contain soil so we can quote accurately.

Where Do Bagged Grass, Cuttings and Soil Go?

The load was collected within the London Borough of Hackney and taken to a licensed recycling and waste transfer station. Grass and cuttings are green waste, while soil is heavier and is handled separately, which is another reason to keep it in its own bags. A digital Waste Transfer Note was issued under our Environment Agency registration CBDU418527 (Carrier Dealer – Upper Tier).
