Disposal of Japanese knotweed waste arranged for Caerphilly and the Rhymney valley, by registered carriers working with the area's steep, terraced streets.
Caerphilly lies in a basin north of Cardiff, with the Rhymney valley running up into the coalfield behind it. Knotweed follows the Rhymney and its tributaries, the railway line and the former colliery sites and tips that are a feature of every valley town.
We arrange haulage and disposal for knotweed waste excavated from housing sites, commercial land and gardens across the county borough.
Digging out knotweed usually produces far more soil than plant. We arrange haulage and disposal for excavated soil containing rhizome from sites in Caerphilly, quoted on the estimated tonnage, any soil analysis you hold and what the receiving facility needs before it will accept the load.

Larger excavations in Caerphilly can need several loads a day over a number of days. We plan the vehicle type, the number of movements and the loading arrangements with you, so the dig is not left waiting for a lorry and material is not stockpiled longer than it needs to be.
Valley housing is terraced along the contours, often with a river or railway directly behind, which is exactly where knotweed is found. Rear access is usually a narrow lane, and loading is from the street. Reclaimed colliery land is more open but may have spoil in the soil that a landfill will want analysed.
The A469 and A468 connect the town to the A470 and the M4 at junction 32. Roads up the valley are single carriageway and busy at peak times, which we allow for in timing.
More about Japanese knotweed haulage.
In Wales, knotweed and material contaminated with it are controlled waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. It must be moved by a registered waste carrier and disposed of at a suitably licensed or permitted landfill, and the site should confirm beforehand that it will accept the load. Natural Resources Wales is the regulator.
Read our guide to Japanese knotweed disposal regulations.
Provide the collection location, estimated quantity, photographs and any available waste or site reports.
We review the material and determine what additional information, testing or classification may be required.
We investigate a suitable authorised disposal route and obtain appropriate transport pricing.
Following quotation acceptance, payment and necessary approvals, we coordinate collection with the appointed contractor.
Relevant waste movement records and receiving-facility documentation are collected for the customer.
We cover Caerphilly and take enquiries from Bedwas, Llanbradach, Ystrad Mynach, Bargoed, Blackwood, Newbridge and Risca.
On terraced streets the practical limit is the vehicle that can get in; several small loads cost more than one large one.
We do not publish fixed prices, because two loads of knotweed waste are rarely alike. The cost depends on the weight and make-up of the material, how it is classified, the distance to a facility that will accept it, the vehicle needed and how it will be loaded. Send us the details and we will prepare a quotation for your site.
See what affects Japanese knotweed disposal costs.
Yes, and it often makes sense. One coordinated excavation and one set of loads usually costs each household less.
It may. The landfill will want to know, and analysis may be requested.
