Richmond upon Thames waste and recycling service · Man & van from £50 · Six-day coverage across every ward
Richmond upon Thames is classic outer London suburbia: 1930s semis with long drives, corner retail parks and plenty of unrestricted kerbside loading on most side roads. Compared with inner-London boroughs, Richmond upon Thames has lighter CPZ coverage and wider streets, which means our standard 3.5t tipper vans can get within 10 metres of 85%+ of jobs. We run a 4–6 hour same-day turnaround for most postcodes in Richmond upon Thames, with garden and bulky waste the most-booked uplifts.
Great value, quick appointment, friendly and efficient from start to finish.

Frequently asked · Richmond upon Thames (suburban residential)
How much does junk removal cost in suburban?
+
In suburban 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 suburban home owners need a permit for a junk van?

Where CPZ (controlled parking zones) apply, we book a bay suspension via the borough portal and include the cost only when unavoidable.

General domestic rubbish bags, single bulky items, garden bags, and dismantled flat-pack furniture can be left kerbside in suburban. 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.

Yes — every job in suburban 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.
