Outbuilding & Area Clearance
Garden and outdoor clearance removes green waste, old furniture, decking, fencing, soil and general outdoor clutter, and separates it for recycling and responsible disposal. It suits overgrown gardens, house sales and post-project tidy-ups.
Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords, agents and executors clearing a garden, yard or outdoor space.
What it covers: Removal of green waste, garden furniture, structures, soil and rubble, sorted for recycling and disposal.
When a survey is needed: Photographs of the garden and the access route are usually enough; a survey helps for large or heavily overgrown spaces.
Gardens produce a real mix of waste: cuttings and green waste, broken furniture, old decking and fencing, pots, soil and rubble. Each has a different route, so sorting the load matters.
Access is the other key factor. iTrade needs to know how a vehicle reaches the garden and how far material must be carried.

Your quote
| Factor | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|
| Volume of material | How much there is to remove, in van loads. |
| Material type and weight | Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy and priced by weight. |
| Overgrowth | Heavily overgrown areas may need cutting back before removal. |
| Access and carry distance | How close a vehicle can get and how far material must be carried. |
Responsible handling
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep | Plants, pots or items you want to retain are left in place. |
| Reuse and donate | Suitable items are kept separate for reuse when an appropriate receiving route is available. Acceptance depends on condition, safety and the receiving organisation’s current criteria. |
| Recycle and compost | Green waste is sent for composting or recycling, and metal and clean timber are separated. |
| Responsible disposal | The remainder goes for controlled disposal under duty-of-care rules. |
Before you enquire
The more of this you can share, the faster iTrade can give a realistic figure:
Reassurance and compliance
When you pay someone to remove household or garden waste, you have a household duty of care under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Check that whoever takes the waste is a registered waste carrier.

Yes. Timber structures can be taken down and removed, with clean timber separated for recycling.
Green waste is sent for composting or recycling rather than general disposal where possible.
