Japanese knotweed disposal services in Portsmouth

Most of Portsmouth is on Portsea Island, one of the most densely built-up places in the country. Space is short, gardens are small and knotweed, where it occurs, is usually close to a boundary, a railway line or a creek. On the mainland side, around Cosham and Paulsgrove and along the slopes of Portsdown Hill, there is more open ground and more of it.

We arrange the haulage and disposal of knotweed waste from both, with a registered carrier and a confirmed destination.

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 Portsmouth, 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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth

Only three roads connect the island to the mainland, and the south-west of the city is covered by a Clean Air Zone that charges older lorries, coaches and taxis. Collections are planned outside peak times and with compliant vehicles.

Terraced streets with parking on both sides leave little room to load, so small tippers are the norm for domestic work. Larger sites, such as former defence and dockside land, have their own access.

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 Portsmouth

Tight streets and timed access mean smaller loads, so quantity is not the only thing that drives the price here.

We do not publish fixed prices, because two loads of knotweed waste are rarely alike.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