Garden Waste Removal
Big Man provides professional, fully compliant garden waste removal services for homes, landlords, businesses, and contractors across the UK. From routine garden clear-outs to large-scale landscaping projects, we remove green waste safely, efficiently, and responsibly, leaving outdoor spaces clean and usable.
Garden waste can build up quickly and is often heavier and bulkier than expected. Our trained teams handle all lifting, loading, and disposal, ensuring waste is processed correctly through authorised facilities. The result is a tidy garden without the time, effort, or uncertainty.
What Is Garden Waste Removal?
Garden waste removal is the collection and lawful disposal of organic and non-hazardous materials generated through gardening, landscaping, and outdoor maintenance. This includes green waste that cannot be managed through standard household bins or council services due to volume, weight, or timing.
Using a professional service ensures waste is removed promptly and handled in line with UK environmental regulations, avoiding fly-tipping risks and unnecessary landfill use.

How Our Garden Waste Removal Service Works
1. Initial Assessment
We assess the volume and type of garden waste, along with access and any site-specific considerations. Photos can help speed up the process.
2. Clear Quotation
You receive a fixed, transparent quote based on the amount of waste and labour required. There are no hidden fees.
3. Scheduled Collection
We arrange a convenient time for removal, including same-day or next-day options where available.
4. Safe Removal
Our trained team handles all lifting and loading, minimising disruption to your property and surroundings.
5. Legal Disposal
Waste is transported by a licensed waste carrier to authorised recycling or composting facilities, with documentation provided where required.
Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Charges
The cost of garden waste removal depends on:

Our pricing is agreed upfront and remains fixed. You only pay for what is removed, with no surprise charges for lifting, loading, or disposal paperwork.
Why Choose Professional Garden Waste Removal?
Safer Than DIY Disposal
Garden waste can be heavy, awkward, and time-consuming to move. Our trained teams reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Faster Than Council Collections
Council garden waste services often involve subscriptions, strict limits, and long wait times. We offer flexible, on-demand removal.
More Practical Than Skip Hire
Skips require permits, space, and manual loading. We remove waste directly from your garden in one visit.
Legal Compliance & Duty of Care
Big Man operates fully within UK waste legislation. We are a licensed and insured waste carrier, ensuring all garden waste is handled lawfully.
Our service guarantees:
- Compliant waste handling and transport
- Proper disposal at authorised facilities
- Waste Transfer Notes where required
- Protection from fly-tipping liability
Recycling-First Garden Waste Management
We prioritise recycling and composting wherever possible. Green waste is processed through approved facilities to produce compost or biomass rather than being sent to landfill.
This recycling-first approach reduces environmental impact and supports sustainable land and garden management.

With years of experience in waste management and property clearances, Big Man delivers dependable garden waste removal backed by trained teams and proven processes. Our staff follow strict health and safety standards and treat every property with care.

Is garden waste removal legally compliant?
Absolutely. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste regulations. All garden waste is taken to authorised facilities, with documentation provided to meet Duty of Care requirements.
What happens to garden waste after collection?
Green waste is sorted at licensed facilities. Compostable materials are processed accordingly, recyclable materials are recovered, and only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill.
