Garden clearance covers the removal of green waste, garden furniture, sheds, soil, rubble, and general outdoor clutter. It's popular in spring and autumn and often needed after storm damage, before a house sale, or when taking on an overgrown property.
A licensed carrier will load and remove everything from your garden and dispose of it legally, with green waste sent to composting facilities where possible.
A standard garden clearance in the UK costs between £80 and £400 depending on volume and what's being removed. Soil and rubble cost more to dispose of than green waste due to weight-based disposal fees.
Get quotes from at least two local carriers and confirm they're licensed to carry garden waste.
Small amounts of garden waste can go in your council brown bin, but for larger clearances — sheds, soil, old furniture — you'll need a licensed carrier or skip hire.
Yes, but it usually costs more as heavy waste incurs higher disposal fees. Mention the volume of soil or rubble upfront when requesting quotes.
A standard overgrown garden takes 2–4 hours for a two-person team. Larger properties or those with structures like sheds may take a full day.
Garden clearance is a managed service — a team comes and removes everything for you. A skip requires you to load it yourself and there are restrictions on what can go in. For most residential garden jobs, a clearance team is faster and easier.
Green waste (grass, branches, plants) is typically sent to composting facilities. Hard waste like furniture and sheds is sorted at a licensed transfer station with recyclable materials separated.
Under UK law, anyone transporting waste for business must hold a valid Waste Carrier Licence from the Environment Agency (or SEPA/NRW/NIEA equivalent). Hiring an unlicensed operator can leave you liable for fly-tipping fines of up to £400 — even if a rogue trader dumps your waste miles away. Every WasteFindr carrier is checked against the official register before going live. Check any carrier's licence here.
