Frequently asked · Lewisham (fringe residential)
How much does junk removal cost in fringe?
+
In fringe residential areas, minimum-load uplift starts at £50 for a small amount of rubbish or one bulky item. A half-load is £220 (approx 500kg, most common tier) and a full-van load £370. Add-ons include WEEE fridge-freezer uplift £30, mattress per-unit £20, and dismantle for large furniture included where noted on the quote.
Do fringe home owners need a permit for a junk van?
+
No, our crews handle permit management on all fringe bookings. Where CPZ (controlled parking zones) apply, we book a bay suspension via the borough portal and include the cost only when unavoidable. Wait-and-load service can use standard kerbspace on more than 80% of fringe streets without any permit.
What can I leave kerbside in fringe for same-day uplift?
+
General domestic rubbish bags, single bulky items, garden bags, and dismantled flat-pack furniture can be left kerbside in fringe. Fridges, freezers, air-conditioning units and gas cylinders require pre-booking as WEEE/hazardous uplift. Hazardous waste including asbestos, paints, chemicals and oils must be declared on booking for specialist diversion.
How soon can a crew arrive in fringe?
+
Fringe fringe: same-day upgrade £30 on orders before 10am, else standard next-day morning or afternoon 2-hour slot.
Do you include a waste transfer note for fringe jobs?
+
Yes — every job in fringe receives a digital Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note with: company registration 16629394, Upper-Tier carrier CBDU605793, vehicle reg, crew IDs, description and estimated weight, transfer station destination, and signed acceptance. This is emailed within 24h of uplift, stored for 7 years per UK regulations.
Where does fringe waste go after uplift?
+
All fringe waste is delivered to Environment Agency-licensed transfer stations within Greater London, sorted for material recovery, composting (green streams) or energy-from-waste for residual non-recyclables. Central streams target ≥90% diversion from landfill; outer routes ≥85%. Each load has weighbridge-verified weight and audit trail.

Every job in Lewisham falls into one of three buckets - the short version below avoids over-quoting and gets you to the right price band in under 30 seconds.
Household & bulky
Household and probate clearances across Lewisham benefit from Green-Belt licensed waste-flow routes, larger tippers and longer booking windows. Volume discounts apply on full-van (1000kg+) clearances booked 48 hours in advance.
Builders and site waste across Lewisham runs on extended 07:00-18:00 operating windows, with volume pricing on 1500kg+ multi-drop site clearances. Duty-of-care paperwork, site-specific RAMS and segregated waste transfer notes are supplied on sign-off.
