Rubbish Removal Across Greenwich
Greenwich is a diverse borough spanning from the historic town centre and Blackheath to the large residential estates of Woolwich, Thamesmead, and Eltham. This creates consistent demand for furniture removal, house clearances, and garden waste disposal across SE2, SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18, and SE28 postcodes.
Greenwich Council offers a bulky waste collection service, but it requires advance booking and has strict limits on the number of items. Items must also be placed outside your property, which isn't always practical.
By using RubbishBids, you can get your waste collected from inside your property, often on the same day. Our licensed carriers can handle any volume of waste, including mixed loads that the council won't take.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to report fly tipping in Greenwich
Fly tipping on public land in Greenwich is handled by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. You can report it online and the council will investigate and arrange removal.
To report: find the location, note the type of waste, take photos if safe to do so, then submit via the council's online form. Include as much detail as possible — exact street, waste type, and any vehicle details if you witnessed the dumping.
Waste dumped on your private land?
If fly tipping has occurred on your private property, Greenwich Council will not remove it — that is your legal responsibility. You must use a licensed waste carrier to clear it.
