Japanese knotweed disposal services in Newcastle upon Tyne

On Tyneside, knotweed is most visible along the Tyne itself, in the Ouseburn and Derwent valleys and on the old railway and wagonway routes that criss-cross the area. Former shipyard, colliery and riverside industrial land on both banks is being redeveloped, and knotweed is often part of what has to be cleared first.

When it is excavated, we arrange a disposal route and a registered waste carrier, and we collect the paperwork that shows where the material went.

Knotweed-contaminated soil removal

Digging out knotweed usually produces far more soil than plant. We arrange haulage and disposal for excavated soil containing rhizome from sites in Newcastle upon Tyne, quoted on the estimated tonnage, any soil analysis you hold and what the receiving facility needs before it will accept the load.

Bulk Japanese knotweed waste disposal

Larger excavations in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

Japanese knotweed haulage for construction projects in Newcastle upon Tyne

Quayside and Ouseburn sites are steep and tightly bounded, with limited space for a lorry to stand. Larger schemes to the north and west of the city, and across the river in Gateshead, are more open but can generate bulk quantities.

The Newcastle and Gateshead Clean Air Zone covers the city centre and its bridges and charges older lorries, so we use compliant vehicles there. The A1 Western Bypass and the A19 Tyne Tunnel carry most heavy traffic around the centre.

Safe and compliant knotweed disposal

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.

Japanese knotweed disposal costs in Newcastle upon Tyne

The distance from Tyneside to a facility able to take knotweed waste is a significant part of the price, so full loads are worth planning for.

We do not publish fixed prices, because two loads of knotweed waste are rarely alike.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.
