BULKY WASTE REMOVAL IN GREENFORD

Too big for the car, too awkward for the kerb.

You’d expect a house with a drive to be easy, and often it is. The trouble in Greenford tends to be what comes out of those houses. A cast iron bath from a 1930s bathroom weighs far more than it looks, and the council won’t touch one. The same goes for a piano, or the sort of heavy gym equipment that took two people to get upstairs in the first place.

Refits produce most of this. A new bathroom leaves you with the old suite on the landing. New carpets leave a long, surprisingly heavy roll in the hall, and a new bed leaves a mattress leaning against the wall for weeks. None of it is difficult for two people with a caged van, but it’s miserable for one person with a hatchback.

We load from inside. If the mattress is upstairs, that’s where we start, and you don’t have to drag it to the front of the house and watch it get rained on. Tell us about tight turns, loft ladders and anything that has to come through a narrow back door.

There’s a limit to what we’ll do without warning. Very heavy items need the right number of people, and we’re coming about 11 miles from SW9. Send a photo first with a rough idea of the size, and we’ll book the job properly.

WHAT WE DO IN GREENFORD

Large items we pick up around UB6.

If it won’t go in the bin or the boot, it’s probably on this list.

  • Cast iron and steel baths

    Heavy ones from original bathrooms, which need planning and enough hands.

  • Mattresses and divans

    Any size, including the base, carried down from the bedroom.

  • Rolled carpet and underlay

    Taken up by your fitter, and taken away by us.

  • Treadmills and weight benches

    Unbolted where we can, and walked down the stairs safely.

  • Pianos and very heavy pieces

    Ask first. These are priced individually, and access decides what’s possible.

  • Bathroom suites

    Basins, toilets and shower trays left on the landing after a refit.

  • Trampolines and play sets

    From the back garden, once the children have grown out of them.

YOUR OPTIONS IN GREENFORD

What the tip takes, and what the council refuses.

A trip to Greenford Road suits one item in a big car. Check the council’s exclusions before you book a crew.

If it’s a mattress, the tip is hard to beat. Ealing Council lets residents bring two a year to Greenford Road for free, as long as you can get them there. Beyond that it’s £15 each. A single large item up to 2m by 0.75m by 0.7m is also free once a week, and that’s about the size of a wardrobe. You’ll need a booked 30-minute slot, photo ID and proof of address, and remember the site is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The council’s collection crews have a long list of things they refuse, and it’s useful to read before you pay. Iron baths, pianos, paint, tyres and anything from building work are all out. Whatever you book must be light enough for two people, and it has to wait at your front boundary by 7am. If your house is on a red route such as the A40, they won’t stop for it.

That leaves plenty of ordinary jobs where we’re the obvious choice: a bath that needs carrying down, a carpet too long for your car, or a van-load of mixed things after a refit. A few pieces start at £80 plus VAT and a whole caged van at £350. Very heavy items are priced from a photo.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Good to know in Greenford.

  1. Bath weightsNot sure what your bath is made of? A magnet sticks to iron or steel but not acrylic, and the answer changes how many people we bring.
  2. Staircase turnsOlder houses here often have a tight turn at the top. Photograph it and we’ll know if something has to come apart.
  3. Don’t leave it on the vergeAnything left out on the pavement can be treated as fly tipping, so keep large items indoors or on your drive until we arrive.
  4. Bag the carpet offcutsLong rolls are fine, but loose scraps are quicker if they’re bagged.
