About garden waste removal services
Soil and turf are heavy and often priced separately. Anyone removing waste for payment must be registered with the Environment Agency, and the householder's duty of care means checking. Japanese knotweed is classed as controlled waste and needs a licensed site, which is a different job entirely.
