Price Guide
Most jobs are priced individually because there are many factors that must be taken into account, especially where pools and gardens are concerned. However some of our services are based on fixed fees and these are shown below.
Remember, asking us for an estimate or devis (quote) is free and we are always more than happy to come to your property to discuss your exact requirements.
We use our own equipment in your garden unless otherwise agreed.
We do not charge travel time so the prices shown are time on site.

Decheterie Fees - Other Waste
Mixed waste or 'Tout Venant' in France is much more expensive to take to the decheterie and it needs to be sorted into different containers which also make it time consuming.

Exact fees will be determined by the guardian of the decheterie, not us.
