Garden waste,
gone when the brown bin can't keep up.

Fixed price per job, based on volume and what's included. A single barrow-load is a small call-out rate; a full transit van-load is priced separately. You'll have a firm number before we lift anything. No weight charges, no call-out fees when we can quote from photos.

No. The council's brown bin subscription works well for regular small amounts, but it has a waitlist, a fixed collection day, and a size limit per bin. For anything bigger (a hedge trim, a landscaping clear, a new-owner garden), a one-off pickup is usually quicker and often cheaper than waiting for the next fortnightly round.

Anything plant-based and non-hazardous that came from the garden: grass clippings, hedge trimmings, branches, roots, leaves, weeds, bedding plants, turf, clean topsoil. Sheds, broken pots, rotten furniture and old bags of compost also go on a garden pickup, even though they're not strictly green waste.

Often same-day or next-day in York. Smaller piles we can usually fit around the rest of the day's work. Full van-loads and scheduled jobs within 24 to 48 hours. Ring us, we'll tell you honestly what the diary looks like.

Yes. Lifted turf, topsoil, subsoil and small amounts of clean rubble (old path bricks, patio slabs) all go on a garden pickup. Heavier volumes of rubble are better suited to our construction waste service. We can advise on the phone.

Technically you can burn small amounts on your own land in York, but the council takes a dim view if smoke drifts to neighbours or the road (it can count as a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act). For anything bigger than a bonfire's worth, a van pickup is cleaner, faster, and you're not stood watching it for three hours.

Clean green waste goes to licensed composting and green-waste recovery sites. Timber gets chipped or sent for reuse. Turf and soil go for soil recovery where they're reusable. Non-plant garden clutter (sheds, furniture) gets sorted through our normal waste streams. Everything moves under our Upper Tier Waste Carriers Licence.

Not if the waste is accessible from the front or side of the property, or you can leave a side gate open. We're happy to work from instructions left by phone, send photos during the job if you want them, and close up behind us.

Regularly. End-of-tenancy garden resets, let properties that have been empty a while, overgrown gardens before a new tenant moves in. We can invoice the agent or the landlord directly and provide a Waste Transfer Note for your records.
