Japanese knotweed-contaminated soil and plant waste removed from sites in Llanelli and Carmarthenshire by registered carriers.
Llanelli grew on tinplate, steel and coal, and much of its coast along the Loughor estuary is reclaimed industrial land, now a coastal park, housing and business sites. Knotweed took hold on that land and along the rivers Lliedi and Loughor, and it remains a regular finding when plots are developed.
We arrange the haulage and disposal of excavated knotweed waste, with the disposal route agreed before collection.
Digging out knotweed usually produces far more soil than plant. We arrange haulage and disposal for excavated soil containing rhizome from sites in Llanelli, 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 Llanelli 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.
Reclaimed coastal land is made ground, and soil analysis is normally required. The estuary beside it is protected for wildlife, so containment on site matters. Away from the coast, the Gwendraeth and Amman valleys have former mining land and rural properties on narrow lanes.
The A484 and A4138 link the town to junction 48 of the M4. West of here, towards Carmarthen and beyond, distances to suitable facilities increase.
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.
West of the M4 the haul gets longer, so for Carmarthenshire sites it pays to send full loads.
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.
