That overgrown hedge you've been putting off tackling all spring. The dismantled shed still sitting in sections across your lawn. The mountain of turf and soil from your patio project now blocking your side gate. In Selly Park, where many Victorian terraces share narrow rear access lanes and permit-controlled streets, getting rid of garden waste isn't just about filling a few green bins—it's about navigating tight access, parking restrictions, and finding a solution that doesn't leave debris scattered for weeks. Our garden waste removal service in Selly Park handles the entire job: we arrive with a two-person uniformed team, load everything ourselves, sweep the area clean, and handle all the disposal responsibly, often on the same day you call.

We'll take garden waste of any size, from a few bags of prunings to entire shed clearances, tree stumps, fence panels, and paving slabs.

How Does Same-Day Garden Waste Removal Work?
Speed matters when you've hired a skip you want gone, or the weather window for your landscaping project is closing. Here's how our process works for domestic and commercial garden waste removal across Selly Park:
1. Quick quote by phone or photo: Call 07751 979473 or send us images via text. Describe what needs removing and any access challenges—narrow ginnels, back garden only accessible through the house, or permit zone concerns.
2. Availability confirmed: If you call before midday, we can usually offer a same-day two-hour arrival window. For scheduled bookings, we offer evening and weekend slots to fit around your routine.
3. Team arrives and assesses: Our crew will walk the site with you, confirm exactly what's going, and handle any last-minute additions on the spot (with a quick price adjustment if needed).
4. We load, you relax: All lifting, carrying, and loading is done by us. If there's mud or debris left behind, we sweep or rake it clear.
5. Responsible disposal: Your garden waste goes to the appropriate facility—green waste to composting sites, timber to recycling centres, and only genuine non-recyclable material to energy-from-waste plants.
No skips blocking your drive for a week. No permit applications. No waiting for council bulky waste collections that won't take soil or rubble anyway.
Common Garden Waste Challenges We Solve in Selly Park
Selly Park's mix of Edwardian family homes, student lets, and conversion flats creates unique waste removal challenges. Many properties have long, narrow side returns or back gardens only accessible via a shared ginnel. Parking restrictions along Oak Tree Lane, Heeley Road, and near Selly Park station mean skip hire often requires costly permits—or isn't practical at all.
Permit zone navigation: We know where we can park, how long we can load, and when a quick call to Birmingham City Council parking team is needed. Our crews carry permits and are trained in loading quickly to minimise street obstruction.
Rear access and narrow passages: If your garden backs onto a lane or requires walking waste through your house, we'll protect floors and walls with coverings and work efficiently to reduce disruption.
Mixed waste from renovations: Cleared your greenhouse and garden shed at the same time as replacing a bathroom suite? We'll take the lot—garden waste, old timber, broken furniture, even white goods and small appliances—in one load, provided none of it is hazardous.
For commercial properties like the offices near Selly Park Triangle or retail units along the Pershore Road corridor, we offer contracted waste management with flexible collection schedules that keep your forecourt clear without taking up valuable parking.
What Garden Waste and Bulky Items Can You Remove?
Our service isn't limited to grass clippings and hedge trimmings. We handle the full spectrum of household and garden clearance, including bulky items that most council services refuse or charge separately for:
Garden and green waste: Lawn mowings, hedge cuttings, branches, leaves, soil, turf, plant pots, compost, weeds, tree stumps, logs, bark chippings
Garden structures and materials: Sheds (dismantled or whole), fencing panels and posts, decking, paving slabs, bricks, concrete, gravel, timber, garden furniture, BBQs, play equipment
Bulky household items: Sofas, armchairs, mattresses, bed frames, wardrobes, tables, carpets, laminate flooring
White goods and appliances: Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves, WEEE items (we handle WEEE disposal legally)
General household and office rubbish: Boxes of clutter, old clothing, books, toys, electronics, office furniture, filing cabinets
We cannot take: Asbestos, gas bottles, fuel cans, chemicals, paints (wet), batteries (lithium), medical waste, tyres in bulk, or any hazardous material. If you're unsure, ask—we'll point you to the right disposal route.
Where Does Your Waste Actually Go?
Responsible waste management isn't just a nice idea—it's a legal and environmental duty. As a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency, we're required to document where every load ends up, and we go further by actively prioritising recycling and reuse.
Green waste: Organic material like grass, leaves, and branches goes to composting facilities where it's processed into soil conditioner or biomass fuel.
Timber and wood: Clean timber is sent to recycling centres for chipboard or biomass; treated wood is processed at energy-from-waste plants.
Metal and white goods: Fridges, washing machines, and metal garden furniture are sent to scrap metal processors. WEEE items go to specialist recycling centres where hazardous components are safely extracted.
Reusable items: Furniture, appliances, and household goods in decent condition are offered to local charities and community reuse schemes before disposal.
Our landfill diversion rate consistently exceeds 85%, and we provide a waste transfer note for every job—proof that your waste was disposed of legally. This matters if you're a landlord, business, or homeowner who wants to demonstrate compliance with your duty of care.

Bournbrook and Ten Acres: Regular work clearing student house garden waste at tenancy changeovers, handling everything from broken furniture to overgrown gardens left untended for months.

No fuss, no week-long skip sitting on a permit-controlled street.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garden waste removal cost in Selly Park?
Pricing depends on volume (how much space your waste takes in our van), weight (soil and rubble cost more to dispose of than green waste), access difficulty, and urgency. A typical single-item removal like a sofa starts from around £50-£60, while a full van load of garden waste might be £150-£250. We give you an honest quote upfront by phone or photo—no hidden fees, no hourly rates that spiral. Call 07751 979473 for an instant estimate.
Can you do same-day garden waste removal in Selly Park?
Yes, if you call before midday we can usually offer a same-day two-hour time slot, subject to availability. We also offer next-day, weekend, and evening appointments if you need to be present or prefer to schedule around work commitments. Our team will text you an ETA on the day so you're not stuck waiting around.
Do you provide a waste transfer note?
Absolutely. Every job includes a waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours, detailing what was removed, where it went, and our waste carrier licence number. This satisfies your legal duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act and protects you if waste is ever fly-tipped by a rogue operator. Landlords, businesses, and homeowners all receive the same documentation as standard.
What if I have really difficult access or parking restrictions?
We're used to it. Selly Park's permit zones, narrow ginnels, and rear-access gardens are daily challenges for us. Our crews carry parking permits where required, work quickly to minimise street obstruction, and will carry waste through your property (with floor and wall protection) if there's no other route. If you're concerned about access, mention it when you call—we'll talk through the best approach.
Can you take soil, rubble, and building waste as well as green waste?
Yes, we handle non-hazardous builders' waste including soil, turf, hardcore, bricks, concrete, plasterboard, and timber. We can't take asbestos, chemicals, or wet paint, but pretty much everything else from a domestic renovation or landscaping project is fine. Mixed loads (garden waste plus household junk plus some rubble) are common—we'll sort it for recycling at our end.
How do I know you're licensed and insured?
We're registered with the Environment Agency as an upper-tier waste carrier, carry full public liability insurance, and provide waste transfer notes as legal proof. You can verify our licence on the Environment Agency public register. Unlicensed operators risk fly-tipping your waste and landing you with a fine—always ask to see credentials before handing over rubbish.
