Lewisham Rubbish Collection, Flats And Houses
From top-floor flats in Sydenham and Deptford to family houses in Lee, Hither Green and Catford, most of our rubbish collection Lewisham jobs start the same way: more than the bins can take. Garden waste after a tidy-up, bulky furniture from an upstairs flat, plasterboard from a refit, or a flat to clear between tenants. We cover the whole borough, including Catford, Brockley, Forest Hill and Sydenham.
Getting a price is simple: send a photo by WhatsApp or the quote form, plus your SE postcode and which floor you’re on. You’ll get a fixed price, often within minutes, and we can usually come the same day or the next morning, including weekends.
Stairs, narrow hallways and fourth-floor walk-ups are our job, not yours. We bring everything down, load it, sweep up and take it for recycling, reuse or licensed disposal, with a waste transfer note for every rubbish removal Lewisham collection.

| Job size | What that looks like | Price |
|---|---|---|
| One item | A mattress, a chest of drawers or a few bags | from £49 |
| A small load | Bags and boxes after a move, or a few furniture pieces | £100–£135 |
| A bigger load | A flat’s worth of furniture or a back garden clear-out | £175–£250 |

Getting Rid Of Rubbish In Lewisham
The choices in the borough and when each makes sense.
Bulky collections on your ward day
Lewisham Council collects bulky household items for a small fee per item, with a higher fee for fridges and freezers. Collections run on a set day for your ward, and items go outside at the edge of the pavement.
Landmann Way recycling centre
The borough’s reuse and recycling centre is at Landmann Way, SE14. It’s free for Lewisham residents with photo ID and proof of address, with limits on van visits, DIY waste and plasterboard.
Lewisham garden waste bin
Lewisham runs a paid yearly garden waste subscription with a 240-litre wheelie bin collected every week. Branches have to be cut down to fit, so it suits regular garden upkeep rather than big clear-outs.
Getting us to collect
The easiest option for upstairs flats, landlord clear-outs, plasterboard and short notice. We collect everything in one visit, from inside the property, often the same day.
Use a licensed waste carrier, whoever it is. If rubbish you paid to have taken turns up fly-tipped, the fine can come back to you.
Council Bulky Collection Or Us In Lewisham?
For a few household items you can get down to the pavement, the council service works well. Here’s how the two compare for everything else.
| Lewisham Council | Waste Collectors | |
|---|---|---|
| How much | A small fee per item, more for fridges and freezers. | No set limit, priced from your photos, one item or a full flat. |
| When | The set collection day for your ward. | Seven days a week, often the same day. |
| Where from | Outside, at the edge of the pavement. | Wherever it is: a top-floor flat, the loft, the garage or the back garden. |
| Who it’s for | Households. Items left by tenants count as commercial waste. | Households, landlords, agents and businesses. |
| Garden waste | A weekly garden bin subscription, with branches cut small. | Any amount in one visit, including soil, turf and large branches. |
| Who lifts | You carry everything down to the pavement. | We bring it down, take it apart and carry it out. |
Information about council collections and Landmann Way comes from Lewisham Council’s website. Rules do change, so check with the council before booking.
Sorted, Recycled And Properly Licensed
After each job we sort the load. Usable furniture and appliances go for reuse, while timber, metal, cardboard, plasterboard and electricals are separated for recycling. Only the leftovers go to a licensed site.
Our Environment Agency waste carrier licence is listed on the public register, and every rubbish collection Lewisham job comes with a waste transfer note.
