Van Thats Quick clears garden waste across Chorleywood so you do not have to make endless trips to the tip or wait weeks for a council green bin that is far too small for a WD3 garden. Our man and van crew comes to you anywhere in Chorleywood, loads everything straight from the garden, and takes it away the same day. Whether you have just tackled an overgrown border, taken down a hedge, re-turfed a lawn or ripped out an old deck, we get the green waste and debris off your property and leave you with the tidy garden you were after.
We clear the full range of garden and green waste: grass cuttings, hedge and shrub trimmings, leaves, weeds and plant matter, branches and small logs, soil, turf and topsoil, gravel and spent compost. We also take the harder stuff that comes with a garden makeover — old decking and fence panels, rotten sheds, greenhouse frames, broken paving slabs, pots and planters, and the general clutter that collects in sheds and garages. If your garden project has produced a pile you cannot shift, we can almost certainly take it.
Garden waste is heavy and awkward, which is exactly why a man and van makes sense in Chorleywood. Soil, turf and wet greenery weigh far more than they look, and dragging bags through the house to the front is hard work and makes a mess. Our two-person crew carries it out for you — down the side of a detached house, along a driveway, or straight through the property on protective sheets if that is the only route — and loads it into the van. You never have to lift or haul anything yourself.
Pricing is by volume, so you pay for the space your green waste fills plus labour and disposal. A small load starts from £95, a quarter load from £149, a half load from £245, and a full Luton van from £480. Soil, turf and rubble are dense, so a small-looking pile can weigh a lot — send a photo on WhatsApp and we will factor that in and give you a fixed price before we arrive, with nothing added at the end.
Green waste recycles well, and we make the most of that. Garden waste goes for responsible disposal at licensed facilities where it can be composted or processed rather than sent to landfill, and soil, rubble and timber are separated for recycling wherever possible. It is the responsible way to deal with a garden clearance and it is how we handle every load. If you need to know how your waste is dealt with, just ask.
We work with homeowners, tenants, landlords and small landscaping and gardening businesses across Chorleywood and the wider Three Rivers area. For gardeners and landscapers working the big WD3 plots around Moor Park, Loudwater and Croxley Green, we can collect on an ongoing basis so green waste never backs up on site. Same-day and next-day slots are usually available, and we are used to limited parking in the town centre and to the narrow lanes and canal bridges down towards Batchworth and the Grand Union Canal.
Ask us for the current insurance certificate, cover limits and exclusions that apply to your job before you book.
Garden clearances are seasonal and often urgent — a spring tidy, an autumn cut-back once the leaves come down along the Chess and Colne valleys, or getting a rental garden presentable before viewings. Because we work on demand rather than on a council schedule, we can usually fit you in within a day or two of your call, which beats waiting a fortnight for a green-bin collection that only takes a couple of bags anyway. And unlike a skip, there is nothing blocking your drive, no permit to arrange, and no filling it yourself in the rain — we simply arrive, clear it, and go.
To book, call 07400 640002, WhatsApp a photo of the garden, or request a quote. You can see the rest of what we do locally on our Chorleywood page, and our main garden waste removal service covers the same job everywhere else we work.

What garden waste we take in Chorleywood
Green waste is a mainstay of our Chorleywood work, and the reason is the plots. Houses backing onto the Common and running up the Chess Valley have large, mature gardens with established hedging and serious tree cover, and when that gets cut back it produces far more volume than a brown bin can take. We are regularly called for a laurel or beech hedge taken down hard, a conifer row removed, or a big plot brought back under control before a sale.
We take green waste and clippings, branches and logs, hedge and conifer cuttings, turf, soil and root balls, and the timber and rubble from old decking, sheds, raised beds and fence panels — all in one load, with nothing for you to separate. We carry it out from wherever it sits, including long back gardens, sloping plots and side returns, and we sweep the drive and paths before we go.
Green loads run from £95 for a small load to £480 for a full Luton. Soil, turf and root balls are far heavier than clippings for the same volume, which is exactly why we fix the price from a photo rather than a phone description. Chorleywood is about twenty minutes from Uxbridge and we work seven days, so a weekend cut-back is usually gone by Monday.
Two different councils handle big waste in WD3. Three Rivers District Council runs the home bulky collection — £64 for up to three items, then £25 for each extra item up to a maximum of ten, with white goods and TVs priced separately and a 50% discount on two collections a year for residents on certain benefits. Hertfordshire County Council runs the recycling centres. Confirm current figures on the council’s booking page before you rely on them.
Your nearest tip is Rickmansworth household waste recycling centre on Riverside Drive (WD3 1FS), run by Hertfordshire County Council and free to use — but if you turn up in a van or with a trailer you need a free ePass arranged first. Our Three Rivers bulky waste guide and Rickmansworth recycling centre guide cover the rules in full.
Garden waste removal in Chorleywood — your questions answered
Do I need a garden waste subscription or an ePass?
Neither. A brown bin is limited by size, collection day and what the council accepts, and it takes no soil, turf, rubble or timber. Taking it yourself means a free Hertfordshire ePass if you are in a van or towing a trailer. We take everything in one visit, with no permit and no carrying for you.
Can you take soil, turf and root balls in WD3?
Yes. They are heavy for their size, so they price on weight-adjusted volume rather than how big the heap looks. Send a photo with something in shot for scale and we will give you a fixed figure before we come.
Will you take out decking, fencing or a shed?
Yes, and in the same load as the green waste. We can dismantle decking, panel fencing and small sheds as part of the job — tell us when you book so we bring the tools and allow the time.
Could I take it to Rickmansworth tip myself?
You can. Rickmansworth recycling centre on Riverside Drive (WD3 1FS) is free to use, but a van or trailer needs a free Hertfordshire ePass arranged first. Once you count hiring a van, sorting the pass and doing several runs, we are usually cheaper as well as quicker — and we do the loading.
How fast can you clear a Chorleywood garden?
Usually same or next day. We are about twenty minutes away and run 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays. Weekend cut-backs cleared on the Monday are one of our most common WD3 bookings.
Where we clear garden waste
Garden clearances run from our Uxbridge (UB8) base across Hillingdon, South Bucks and west London, including Hayes, Gerrards Cross, Denham, West Drayton, Harefield, Northwood and Chorleywood. No council brown-bin wait and no permit needed.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
