WASTE COLLECTION IN FOREST HILL

Big houses on steep streets.

Take Me Elsewhere collects rubbish, household, garden and builders’ waste across Forest Hill from £80, with whole-cage collections from £350. We drive in from our SW9 yard, about 3.7 miles away. Licensed waste carrier CBDU425022.

Forest Hill is full of large Victorian and Edwardian houses on hilly streets, many with long gardens behind them. When one of them needs clearing, it’s rarely a small job: three or four floors of furniture and boxes, a loft, and a garden that hasn’t been touched for a while.

We clear the whole thing in one go, or one room at a time if that suits you better. Furniture in good condition is passed on for reuse where we can, and everything else is separated for recycling before anything goes to a licensed facility.
