We arrange disposal of Japanese knotweed waste in Brighton and Hove, where steep terraces, railway cuttings and tight parking shape every collection.
Brighton and Hove is squeezed between the sea and the South Downs, and it has grown by filling its valleys with terraces. Knotweed here follows the railway cuttings and embankments, spreads between adjoining back gardens and crops up on the few development plots the city has left.
When it is excavated, we arrange a registered waste carrier and an authorised facility, and we collect the documents for your records.
Digging out knotweed usually produces far more soil than plant. We arrange haulage and disposal for excavated soil containing rhizome from sites in Brighton, 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 Brighton 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.
Domestic jobs make up much of the work. Gardens are often reached only through the house, streets are steep with controlled parking, and material is bagged and carried to the kerb. A parking suspension is sometimes needed for the loading vehicle.
Larger sites are mainly former industrial and railway land near the stations and in Shoreham harbour. The A23 and A27 are the main routes in and out; there are no motorways, and the nearest suitable facilities may be some distance inland.
More about Japanese knotweed haulage.
In England, knotweed waste that cannot be dealt with on site must go to a landfill or incineration facility that holds the correct permit, and the site must be told in advance that the load contains knotweed. It has to be moved by a registered waste carrier, covered or enclosed so nothing can escape on the journey. The Environment Agency 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 Brighton and Hove and take enquiries from Shoreham, Worthing, Lewes, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Burgess Hill.
With hand loading at the property and a longer run to a receiving facility, small domestic loads in Brighton cost more per tonne than site work.
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.

We can arrange disposal of what is dug from your side. Unless the neighbouring stand is dealt with too, it is likely to return, so speak to a specialist about treating both.
