That overgrown hedge you've been meaning to tackle, the patio furniture that's finally given up, and the pile of branches from last month's storm – they're all sitting there, quietly taking over your outdoor space. If you're in Streetly, you know the frustration: the council's bulky waste service can mean weeks of waiting, skip permits on your drive are a headache with parking restrictions, and hauling everything yourself to the recycling centre eats up your entire weekend. Professional garden waste removal in Streetly means a two-person team arrives at a time that suits you, loads everything while you watch, sweeps the area clean, and handles all the disposal legally – often on the same day you call.

What's Included When You Book Garden Waste Removal

You're not hiring a van – you're hiring a complete service. Our uniformed teams arrive with the vehicle, tools, and muscle to handle the job from start to finish. We don't point at items and expect you to drag them to the kerb; we navigate your property, lift and load everything ourselves, and leave the space noticeably tidier than we found it.

Every collection includes:

• All labour and loading – both team members work throughout the job
• A proper sweep-up after loading, not just a cursory glance
• Your legal waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours, proving duty of care compliance
• Responsible disposal routing – recycling centres, reuse charities, or licensed landfill as appropriate
• ETA updates on the day so you're not trapped indoors guessing when we'll arrive

We're licensed waste carriers (Environment Agency registered), fully insured, and we treat your property with care – no gouged door frames or trampled flower beds. If an item can be donated rather than binned, we'll suggest it and handle the drop-off.

Same-Day Garden Waste Removal Across Streetly Postcodes

Need it gone today? We reserve same-day slots for urgent clearances – house moves that have overrun, unexpected tenancy handovers, or simply the realisation that you can't face another weekend staring at that rubbish. Call before 10am and we'll usually confirm a same-day window; after that, next-day is almost always possible.

Scheduled appointments work better if you're planning ahead – evenings until 8pm and weekend slots mean you don't need to take a day off work. We cover the whole Streetly area, from the tree-lined roads near Little Aston to the busier streets closer to the high street, and we're familiar with the parking quirks in each neighbourhood.

We handle permit applications ourselves if your street requires a suspension bay for loading (common on narrower Victorian terraces), and we know which roads have resident-only restrictions that ease after 6pm. That local knowledge turns a potential nightmare into a non-issue.

What We Take Away (And the Few Things We Can't)

Most garden and household bulky waste is straightforward for us:

• Garden waste: soil, turf, branches, hedge trimmings, leaves, old sheds, fence panels, decking, sleepers
• Furniture: sofas, chairs, wardrobes, beds, mattresses, dining sets, cabinets
• White goods and appliances: fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers, ovens, dishwashers (WEEE disposal compliant)
• General household: carpets, bikes, toys, sports equipment, boxes of miscellany
• Renovation debris: plasterboard, sinks, toilets, doors, non-load-bearing timber, tiles, flooring
• Office and commercial: desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment, retail fittings

We cannot legally take hazardous materials: asbestos (any form, even garage roofs), gas bottles, chemicals, oils, paints, pesticides, or clinical waste. If you're unsure, describe the item when you call – we'd rather clarify upfront than discover a problem on arrival.

Why Streetly Residents Choose Wait-and-Load Over Skip Hire

Skips seem simple until you price in the permit (£60+ from the council, assuming your street even allows it), the two-week wait blocking your drive, and the fact that you still do all the heavy lifting. For most domestic garden waste removal jobs, a two-person crew with a van is faster, cheaper, and infinitely less hassle.

We've cleared three-bedroom house gardens – years of accumulated junk, broken furniture, and green waste – in under two hours, start to finish. The same job with a skip means hiring it, filling it yourself over several days (probably injuring your back), then waiting for collection. Our approach is surgical: we arrive, load, leave. Your neighbour might not even notice we were there.

Skip hire makes sense for major building projects generating tonnes of rubble over weeks. For everything else – house clearances, garden tidy-ups, furniture disposal, appliance removal – wait-and-load is the modern, efficient choice.

Where Does Your Garden Waste Actually Go?

We're not one of the rogue operators who fly-tip in lay-bys or industrial estates (and yes, they're still out there). Every load is tracked, and up to 90% of what we collect is diverted from landfill through a combination of recycling centres, reuse charities, and specialist processors.

Green waste goes to composting facilities. Metals are separated and sent to scrap merchants. Furniture in decent condition is offered to local reuse organisations. WEEE items (electrical appliances) go to certified treatment facilities where components are recovered safely. Only true residual waste – contaminated or broken-down material with no recycling route – goes to licensed landfill, and even then, we choose energy-recovery sites wherever possible.

Your waste transfer note isn't just a legal formality; it's a paper trail proving your rubbish was disposed of responsibly. If you're a landlord, business, or managing an estate, that documentation protects you from prosecution if waste is later found dumped illegally.

Serving Every Corner of Streetly

We've worked extensively across Streetly's distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character and challenges. The roads near Streetly Lane often have tight driveways and mature hedges that need careful navigation; we've cleared decades-old sheds from back gardens there without damaging a single plant. Over towards Little Aston, properties are larger and garden waste volumes can be significant – we've handled everything from post-landscaping debris to entire patio furniture sets replaced after years of British weather.

In the more densely packed streets closer to Foley Road East, parking is the main consideration. We time arrivals to avoid school-run chaos and know which roads have loading bays we can use legitimately. Whether you're in a 1930s semi or a newer development off Thornhill Road, we've almost certainly worked your street before.

"Had a garage full of rubbish from the previous owner – broken lawnmower, paint tins, old furniture, the lot. Two lads turned up on time, cleared the whole lot in 45 minutes, even swept up afterwards. Couldn't fault them." – Streetly resident, March 2025

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does garden waste removal cost in Streetly?

Price depends on volume (how much van space you need) rather than weight or item type. A single bulky item like a sofa might be £60-80; a full garage clearance could be £200-350. We quote based on a description or photos over the phone, so you know the cost before we arrive. There are no hidden fees for stairs, awkward access, or disposal – the quote is the final price.

Can you do same-day garden waste removal?

Yes, if you call before 10am and we have capacity. Same-day slots fill quickly (especially in spring and summer when everyone's tackling the garden), but we hold back availability specifically for urgent jobs. Next-day is almost always possible, and we offer evening and weekend appointments for planned clearances.

Do you provide a waste transfer note?

Absolutely – it's a legal requirement under the Environmental Protection Act. We email your duty of care documentation within 24 hours of collection, detailing what was taken, where it was processed, and our waste carrier licence number. Keep this safe; if you're a landlord or business, you're legally responsible for proving your waste was disposed of correctly.

What if I have restricted parking or need a permit?

We handle parking challenges daily across Streetly. If your street requires a suspension bay or permit for loading, we'll apply for it (cost included in your quote) and schedule around the approved time. We also work around resident-only zones by timing arrivals when restrictions lift, or by loading quickly from legal bays. Just mention parking concerns when you book.

Can you take electrical items like fridges and washing machines?

Yes, all white goods and electrical appliances are fine. Fridges and freezers require specialist treatment to remove refrigerant gases safely (WEEE regulations), which we handle through certified processors. Washing machines, tumble dryers, ovens, microwaves, TVs, computers – all collected and disposed of legally. We cannot take items containing hazardous materials like asbestos, gas bottles, or chemical waste.

What areas of Streetly do you cover?

The entire Streetly area and surrounding neighbourhoods – Little Aston, Four Oaks, Aldridge borders, and anywhere with a B74 postcode. If you're nearby but outside that zone, we'll still help; our teams cover a wide radius and we don't artificially restrict service areas. Call with your postcode and we'll confirm availability immediately.
