Can soil go with my Barnet garden-bin waste?
Not in the council green bin. For a private collection, identify soil separately and ask the provider to confirm acceptance and how the load is priced.
Garden Waste Removal in Barnet
Clearing an overgrown Barnet garden can leave a mixture of vegetation, broken pots and old fencing. These should not be described as one green-waste load. Show the separate piles so the provider can assess what needs collecting.
Show branches as well as bags
A photograph of the whole pile helps distinguish bulky branches from compact cuttings.
Keep fencing and pots visible
Declare treated timber, plant containers and building debris separately from vegetation.

A garden bin or a one-off collection?
For regular lawn and hedge cuttings, compare the council garden-bin service before paying for a separate collection. A one-off clearance may be more appropriate when there is a large backlog or materials that the bin service does not accept.
Barnet excludes soil from the green garden-waste bin. Removing a flower bed or lifting paving therefore needs a different assessment from emptying bags of leaves.

Getting a rear-garden pile out
If a Finchley garden can only be reached through the house, include that in the quote request. Mention steps, narrow gates and any protection needed along the route rather than assuming direct vehicle access.
Agree whether loose material needs bagging before collection. Do not overfill sacks with soil or disguise heavy material underneath lightweight hedge trimmings.
Collection is not garden maintenance
Say whether branches have already been cut and a shed has already been dismantled. Pruning, digging out roots and taking a structure apart require an agreed scope beyond loading waste.
When a gardener is doing the work, check whether removal is part of their price. Send an enquiry for the material actually left for you to arrange, not the entire project twice.
