What we clear most in Bargoed

In Bargoed itself and across Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed, the pattern is steady year-round work: clearances for sales and probate, landlord turnarounds, garden and garage empties, and single bulky items.
Whatever the job, the price is estimated from the photo and confirmed on-site before we start, disposal is to NRW-licensed sites (licence CBDU034669), and the space is swept before we leave — the same standard across Caerphilly County Borough and right through Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed.

What do you usually clear in Bargoed, around Cefn Fforest and Brithdir?
Up and down the Caerphilly County Borough valleys, the pattern is the same: houses built for mining families now holding two or three generations' worth of furniture, bikes and tools — and Bargoed, with its streets around Gilfach and Aberbargoed, is no exception. In practice that means whole-house clearances, garden and garage empties, landlord turnarounds and single bulky items from Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed — each quoted flat on a photo, with the same-day or next-day slot confirmed alongside the price.
What does the council charge in Bargoed compared with you?
Besides the price — £38 for one to three items, rising to £53 for six against one flat van price from us — the practical difference is labour: we lift everything from wherever it is, while a council collection needs items at the kerbside. For a whole house or a heavy load in Bargoed town centre, Gilfach or Aberbargoed, that usually settles it.
What is your lead time in Bargoed?
For Bargoed, the CF81 belt around Cefn Fforest and Brithdir, we can normally offer same-day where we can, otherwise next day with a morning or afternoon window. The slot is fixed and confirmed when we send the quote.
Why Bargoed Chooses Alpha Waste Removal
From a single sofa in Bargoed to a full house clearance out towards Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed, the quote is always estimated from the photo before we set off, with no hourly rates.
There are plenty of people with vans operating in Bargoed, and we know it. So we do not ask you to take our word for it — we show you why homeowners, landlords and businesses across the Caerphilly County Borough keep coming back, and why we are rated 9.77/10 on Checkatrade with over 80 combined reviews across Google, Checkatrade and Trustpilot.
We are a two-man crew operating a 16 cubic yard high-roof van — about 1.5× the size of the typical tipper vans most waste companies use. That single difference changes everything about your job: most clearances in Bargoed fit in one trip rather than two, and one trip costs one price. Garden clearances, renovation waste, a three-bed house clearance — we are usually done in a single visit where another crew would need two, two quotes, and twice your time.
We are licensed by Natural Resources Wales (licence CBDU034669 — checkable on the public register) and fully insured with public liability cover on every job in Bargoed and across Caerphilly County Borough Council. Every load goes to licensed facilities with a waste transfer note provided as standard.
Fully licensed and insured — licence CBDU034669
Being an upper-tier registered carrier means your waste never ends up fly-tipped in a lane or dumped in someone else's skip — every single load goes to a licensed site, so there is no risk of the council coming back to you over illegal dumping. Always ask a waste company for their licence number; if they dodge the question, that tells you enough.
A 16 cu yd van — 1.5× bigger than most
We do not run a standard tipper — ours is a long-wheelbase, high-roof van with 16 cubic yards of space. A job that would need a full tipper and then some goes in one load with us, at one flat price. Since you are paying for space, a bigger van simply means your money stretches further.
Two crew on every job in Bargoed
Two people turn up to load every job, not one person risking their back — so heavy furniture, wardrobes, washing machines and roof panels come out quickly and without scraping your doorframes or floors. It is also why a full house clearance takes us a single day while a solo operator is still stuck on room one.
We sweep up before we leave
Once the van is loaded, we do not just leave — we sweep up wherever we worked, be that the driveway, garden, hallway or pavement, so it looks as tidy as before. Landlords and letting agents notice this every time. It only costs us five minutes but it is the difference between a job finished and a job done right.
Add honest flat pricing, free photo quotes and a phone that actually gets answered, and it’s why customers in Bargoed keep coming back to us.
What We Take Away in Bargoed
Everything from Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed is in scope: house clearances, garden and garage empties, builder's rubble, furniture, white goods, and the bags and bulky items that the weekly bin collection cannot handle.
If it is waste, there is a good chance we will take it. Bags, furniture, rubble, garden cuttings, office clear-outs, dumped rubbish — it all goes in the van, and almost all of it gets recycled or recovered rather than buried. Here is the full rundown of what we do in Bargoed:
General waste & rubbish removal
Black bags, boxes, clutter, garage junk, loft junk, and the stuff that has been "waiting to go to the tip" for a year. Priced by van space, from £3 a bag up to £450 for a full load. We collect from inside your property in Bargoed — no dragging bags to the kerb required. See the prices ›
House clearance
End-of-tenancy, probate, selling up or simply 20 years of accumulated belongings — we clear whole properties in Bargoed, usually in a single day. We take the lot or leave what you want to keep or sell. Beds and wardrobes are dismantled on the spot, and we sweep through before we leave. House clearance in Bargoed ›
Garden waste removal
Hedge clippings, branches, old sheds, broken fence panels, turf, decking and green waste from gardens across Bargoed. Garden rates from £80 for a quarter load (full van £250). We carry it all out from the back garden ourselves — it does not need to be at the front. Garden waste removal ›
Builders’ rubble removal
Bricks, concrete, slabs, plasterboard, wood waste, soil and renovation leftovers from jobs in Bargoed. Whether it is a bathroom rip-out, a kitchen refit or a full extension, we take the rubble off site — even from the second floor — and dispose of it properly at licensed facilities. Builders rubble removal ›
Commercial waste clearance
Shops, offices, restaurants and businesses across Bargoed — one-off clear-outs or regular collections on a schedule that suits your business. Waste transfer notes as standard, and invoicing available for regular trade customers. Commercial waste clearance ›
Fly-tip cleanup
If waste has been dumped on your land or outside your property in Bargoed, we clear it quickly and dispose of it properly — no questions, no hassle, fully legal. We prioritise these jobs because a pile left sitting only attracts more. Fly-tip cleanup ›
Sofas, mattresses & single items
Got only one item? A sofa runs £40–£90 depending on size, and a mattress is a flat £50 whatever the size — collected on its own or added to a bigger job. We also take white goods, TVs, furniture, carpets, bikes, tools and empty paint tins. Full item price list ›

Is the council's bulky collection worth it in Bargoed?
If you live in Bargoed or nearby in Gilfach and Aberbargoed, the council's bulky waste service is £38 for one to three items, rising to £53 for six, limited to a maximum of six items per booking, and arranged by having to book online, with items put out the night before. It is a kerbside service, so everything has to be out at the boundary on the day.
It is a kerbside collection from 6am, items must be kept dry, and anything recorded as soiled or a trip hazard is left behind. For many Bargoed households — and plenty in Bargoed town centre, Gilfach and Aberbargoed — a private crew is simpler and often cheaper: no item limits, no kerbside rules, no waiting for a slot, one price for everything we load, estimated from a photo and confirmed on-site before we start.
Areas We Cover in Bargoed
We cover all of Bargoed, from the town centre to Gilfach and Aberbargoed, plus the villages around it: Brithdir and New Tredegar to the north, Deri up the Darran Valley, Markham, Argoed and Bedwellty to the east, Cefn Fforest to the south-east, and Pengam, Fleur-de-Lis and Pen-pedair-heol to the south. If you are just outside Bargoed, that is usually no problem at all — Caerphilly County Borough is on our regular route, so the same flat price applies. Not sure if we cover your road? Drop us a message and we will confirm in minutes.

How It Works — Three Simple Steps
We have kept the whole process as simple as it should be. No forms, no surveys, no waiting around for a site visit:
1. Send us a photo
WhatsApp us a photo of the waste — or a few, if it is spread around the house. We will come back with an estimate, usually within minutes. That is your estimate. No site visit needed, no sitting in waiting for an estimator.
2. We load it
We show up at the agreed time, with a van sized correctly for the job and two of us ready to lift. Loading is entirely on us — we work carefully around your furniture and tidy up before leaving. You just need to show us the pile.
3. You pay when it is loaded
You only pay once the van is loaded and you can see the job is done. Cash, bank transfer or card — whatever suits you. Then we take your waste to licensed facilities and dispose of it properly, with the paperwork to prove it. Book your slot ›
