Why Cornwall Chooses RHC for Garden Waste Collection
Six specific reasons why customers across Cornwall choose us over every other clearance company, none of which are generic claims.
No Subscription, No Waiting, No Brown Bin Required
Cornwall Council’s garden waste service requires a subscription, specific containers, and collects only on a fortnightly schedule.
We work differently. Contact us when you need us, tell us what needs collecting, and we will be there often the same day.
No annual contract, no containers to buy, no waiting for your collection date.
We Take Everything, Not Just Green Waste
Council collections only accept grass cuttings, leaves, and light prunings in approved containers.
We collect the full reality of what accumulates in Cornwall’s gardens and outdoor spaces overgrown hedges, old sheds, broken fencing, paving rubble, soil from landscaping, and years of accumulated garden junk.
No limits on what we can take.
Same-Day Available Across Cornwall
We offer same-day garden waste collection across most of Cornwall when you contact us before noon.
Our Camborne base puts us within easy reach of the whole county. Whether you are in Penzance, Truro, Newquay, or Saltash, we can be with you the same day in most cases.
A Genuine Skip Alternative
Skip hire in Cornwall requires a permit if the skip goes on a public road, costs a significant amount before a single item is loaded, and requires you to do all the loading yourself.
Our garden and building waste collection service removes all of that. We bring our own vehicle, we do all the loading, we take it away, and we deal with the disposal.
No permit, no loading, no hassle.
Environment Agency Licensed
We are a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. Licence number: CBDU458497.
Every piece of garden and building waste we collect is disposed of legally and you receive a waste transfer note as documented proof.
This is especially important for building waste, where illegal disposal carries
95% Recycled or Composted
Garden waste is one of the most recyclable waste streams.
We send all green waste collected across Cornwall to licensed composting and recycling facilities. Timber goes to wood recyclers.
Scrap metal from old garden structures goes to licensed metal recyclers. We divert over 95% of what we collect from landfill.
HOW IT WORKS
How Our Garden Waste Collection Service Works in Cornwall
Fast, straightforward, and with no subscription required. From your first message to a cleared garden, here is how the process works.
Send Us Photos of the Waste
Take photos of your garden, the waste pile, or the specific areas that need clearing. Send them via WhatsApp, email, or our online form.
For building waste, include photos of the volume and any access considerations. The more detail in your photos, the more accurately we can quote.
Receive Fixed Price Quote
We review your photos and send back a transparent, fixed-price quote, usually within the hour. Our garden waste collection pricing is based on the volume and type of material and any access factors.
The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden charges on the day, no minimum volumes.
We Collect Everything in One Visit
On the agreed date, our team arrives and removes all the garden or building waste agreed in the quote. You do not need to be present.
We load everything ourselves, including heavy items like soil, rubble, and old shed timbers.
We leave the outdoor space clean and clear.

What Customers Say About Our Garden Waste Collection in Cornwall
How Much Does Garden Waste Collection Cost in Cornwall?
Garden waste collection pricing in Cornwall depends on the volume of material, the type of waste, and access to the collection point. Green waste, building rubble, and mixed garden waste all carry different disposal costs, and our pricing reflects this. What we guarantee in every case is a transparent, fixed-price quote before any work begins.
As a general guide, a single van load of garden waste typically starts from around £100 to £180. A larger volume, such as a full garden clearance with multiple van loads, will be priced from £200 upwards. Building waste including soil, rubble, and concrete is typically priced higher than green waste due to the weight and disposal costs involved. These are indicative ranges only.
For most garden waste jobs, our cost compares very favourably to skip hire when you factor in the permit cost, the hire period charge, and the fact that you have to load the skip yourself. We bring the vehicle, we do all the loading, and we take it away on the day.
Full Garden Clearance
The price we quote is the price on the invoice. No additions on the day, no minimum volumes, no call-out fees.

Garden Waste Collection Cornwall: Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got the answers to your most frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between your garden waste collection and the Cornwall Council service?
Cornwall Council’s garden waste subscription service collects only light green waste in specific approved containers, on a fortnightly schedule, and is not available to businesses or holiday lets. Our service collects any volume of any garden or outdoor waste, including building waste, old sheds, fencing, soil, and rubble, on a date that suits you, with same-day availability in most areas. No subscription, no containers to buy, no waiting for your collection day.
Do you collect building waste as well as garden waste?
Yes. Building waste removal is part of our garden and outdoor waste service. We collect soil, rubble, bricks, concrete, sand, gravel, paving slabs, plasterboard offcuts, timber, and general renovation debris. If you are undertaking a landscaping project or home renovation in Cornwall, we are a practical skip alternative that handles all the loading for you.
Do I need to bag or separate the garden waste before you arrive?
No. You do not need to bag, sort, or prepare the waste before we arrive. Our team loads everything. If there are specific items in the garden you want to keep, just point them out or move them aside before we start. Everything else we take.
Can you dismantle and remove an old shed as part of the service?
Yes. Shed dismantling and full removal is a regular part of our garden waste service across Cornwall. We dismantle the structure, remove all materials including the base if required, and dispose of everything legally. Greenhouse dismantling and removal is also available.
How quickly can you collect garden waste in Cornwall?
In most areas of Cornwall, same-day collection is available when you contact us before noon. Next-day collection is available in almost all areas. For larger garden clearance projects, we will agree a date and start time when we confirm the quote.
Are you licensed to remove building waste in Cornwall?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. Building waste is classified as controlled waste under UK regulations, and property owners have a legal duty of care to ensure it is disposed of by a licensed carrier. We provide a waste transfer note on every job as documented proof of legal disposal.
Can you take old patio slabs, soil, and heavy landscaping waste?
Yes. Heavy landscaping waste including patio slabs, paving tiles, soil, topsoil, subsoil, gravel, aggregate, and concrete is all within our collection capability. We carry the equipment and the team to handle heavy loads. Please mention the approximate volume in your photos so we can quote accurately.
