Sheds, gardens and whole E7 terraces cleared — a load-size price, no site visit
What a load costs in Forest Gate
Free · sized down if the pile is smaller than you thought
What the council will and will not take changes at the borough boundary, and so does which tip will let a van through the gate. We work to whichever set of rules your address falls under.
The Newham restriction worth knowing before you plan a weekend around it is this: at Jenkins Lane, DIY and building material is restricted waste. Rubble and plasterboard are on the list, and so are kitchen units, worktops and tiles, baths and basins and toilets, doors and windows, soil and sand, structural timber and flooring, roofing and insulation, large carpets, radiators, and fence panels and garden sheds. Restricted does not mean banned — it means authorised in advance and rationed, to two days in any twelve-month period. Two. And if you borrow or hire a vehicle to bring it, the site wants the hire agreement, because the restriction attaches to the van as well as to the household: a hired van that has already delivered restricted waste has used the allowance whether or not you were driving it.
Which matters here more than in most of E7's neighbours, because a great deal of what comes out of these houses is exactly that list. Kitchens, bathrooms, a shed that has finally given up, the fence that came down in the winter.
The clearances themselves are shaped by the street pattern, and the pattern barely varies between Romford Road and Wanstead Flats. Long, level, straight roads of two- and three-bedroom terraces, almost every one behind a front garden — a low wall, a gate, a few metres of tiled path, then one or two steps to the front door. Everything leaving the house crosses all of that, and it is the gateposts rather than the doorway where a wardrobe usually runs out of width. Nothing reaches the back garden from the side, either, so the mower and the bikes are carried through the house and out of that same gate. Almost nothing here has a driveway, so where the van ends up standing on a long road is the difference between a short carry and a hundred metres of one, repeated. We agree that before the day, pick the load size with you, and bring the barrows for the path.
Borough waste rules here were read from the council's own pages on 9 September 2026. They do change — the council's page is always the last word.

Every load out of Forest Gate is tipped at a licensed transfer station and sorted there for recycling, energy recovery or a specialist stream. We keep the waste transfer note for each one and will send you a copy for your records.
Three answers and a date. Nobody has to come and look at the pile first.
Choose whichever load size is nearest to what you are looking at. Under-estimate and over-estimate are both fixable at the door.
Loft, third floor, back garden or garage. It is the carry that makes a clearance long, so it belongs in the price rather than in an argument afterwards.
We sort it, sweep the space and take the lot to a permitted facility. What is left behind is an empty room, not a bagged heap by the bins.
Yes, and it is one of the commonest E7 jobs. At the borough tip that material is restricted and rationed to a couple of authorised days a year, which is why a garden clear-out is so often the thing people give up on and hand over.
Only the hallway, which is how it works in a terrace with no side return anyway. We carry it through the house on boards where the floor needs protecting, out through the gate and into the van, and sweep the path behind us.
As near the gate as the street allows, agreed with you when the slot is booked rather than settled by whatever is free at eight in the morning. On roads this long the difference between outside the house and four doors down is real carrying time on every trip.
Usually one for a furnished terrace, occasionally two where a loft and a garden are both full. You pick the load size that looks closest and the crew confirms it at the door before anything goes in the van.
Yes — the same crew and the same van do removals across E7, so a clearance before a move and the move itself can be booked with us separately and planned as one week rather than two jobs.
