Japanese knotweed disposal arranged for Leicester and Leicestershire: contaminated soil, roots and rhizomes collected by registered carriers and taken to authorised facilities.
The River Soar and the Grand Union Canal run north to south through Leicester, and knotweed grows along both, as it does on the line of the former Great Central Railway. The waterside district west of the centre, long occupied by dye works and factories, is being rebuilt, and knotweed is a known constraint there.
If you are having it excavated, we arrange disposal of the waste and provide the documentation afterwards.
Digging out knotweed usually produces far more soil than plant. We arrange haulage and disposal for excavated soil containing rhizome from sites in Leicester, 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 Leicester 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.
Leicester’s Victorian terraces produce a steady number of small domestic jobs, typically a stand at the bottom of a garden backing onto a railway or brook. Access is usually through the house or a shared entry, so material is bagged and carried out.
Commercial work is mostly on regeneration land near the river and on housing and logistics sites around the edge of the city. Junction 21 of the M1, the M69 and the A46 give good access for larger vehicles.
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 the city and the adjoining towns of Oadby, Wigston, Blaby and Syston, and take enquiries from Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville and Market Harborough.
Small, hand-loaded garden jobs cost more per tonne than machine-loaded site work, simply because of the time involved.
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.
