Waste removal in Lisvane (CF14 postcodes)
Rubbish Removal in Lisvane — From £160, Same-Day Service
Licensed, fully insured rubbish removal across Lisvane and the CF14 postcode area. Cardiff homes, gardens and local businesses — priced flat, disposed of properly, swept up before we leave. Same-day where we can, with a price estimate agreed before we start.
Lisvane is an affluent suburban village on the northern edge of Cardiff, set around Lisvane Reservoir and the Cefn Onn ridge. Our CF14 postcode rounds cover Lisvane regularly, including the village itself, Lisvane Road and the Thornhill area.
Because we pass through Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill every week on the Cardiff rounds, Lisvane clearances — from a single sofa to a full house — are usually done within a day or two of the quote.
Day-to-day jobs in and around Lisvane
Suburban clearances around Lisvane are mostly the practical kind: lofts and garages full of decades of accumulation, house clearances for sales and downsizing, and landlords clearing between lets — the same steady pattern across Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill.
Most of the work arrives from Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill and the streets around them — and because we run the Cardiff rounds weekly, most Lisvane jobs are done within a day of the photo quote.
From Pontprennau and Cyncoed to the centre of Lisvane, the process is identical: photo estimate, booked slot, licensed disposal (NRW licence CBDU034669), and a sweep-up before the van leaves.
Do you cover Lisvane every week on the Cardiff round?
Yes — the rounds through Cardiff take in Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill, so Lisvane is covered every week. If you are just outside Lisvane, that is usually no problem at all: the same flat price applies right across Pontprennau and Cyncoed, with no rural surcharge for being a mile or two off the beaten track.
Which postcodes do you cover around Lisvane, Pontprennau and Cyncoed?
We do. The CF14 belt — including Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill — is on the rounds we run through Cardiff, and the per-van pricing stays the same wherever the load is collected. Not sure if your road counts? Message us a photo or a postcode and we will confirm in minutes.
What are the most common jobs from the Lisvane side of Cardiff?
Suburban clearances around Lisvane are mostly the practical kind: lofts and garages full of decades of accumulation, house clearances for sales and downsizing, and landlords clearing between lets — the same steady pattern across Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill. In practice that means whole-house clearances, garden and garage empties, landlord turnarounds and single bulky items from Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill — each quoted flat on a photo, with the same-day or next-day slot confirmed alongside the price.
How is Lisvane different from having the council collect it around Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill?
Besides the price — £15 for one or two items, £30 for three or four, and £45 for five or six, plus a £5 booking fee — booked online, with items left at the kerbside 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 Lisvane, Llanishen or Thornhill, that usually settles it.
How soon can you come to Lisvane and the Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill side?
Because Lisvane sits on our regular Cardiff rounds — the ones that pass through Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill — we can normally offer the same day for jobs messaged before mid-morning, and next-day slots beyond that. The exact slot is confirmed when we send the estimate.
Why Lisvane Chooses Alpha Waste Removal
Most Lisvane clearances start the same way: a photo on WhatsApp, an estimate back in minutes, and a booked slot on the Cardiff rounds that pass Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill most weeks.
There are plenty of people with vans operating in Lisvane, 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 Cardiff 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 Lisvane 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 Lisvane and across Cardiff Council. Every load goes to licensed facilities with a waste transfer note provided as standard.
Fully licensed and insured — licence CBDU034669
Our licence means your waste is handled the right way — nothing fly-tipped on a lane or left in someone else's skip. Every load is taken to a licensed facility, so there is no risk of the council ever tracing dumping back to your door.
A 16 cu yd van — 1.5× bigger than most
We do not turn up with a standard tipper — our van is a long-wheelbase, high-roof model with 16 cubic yards of space. A job that would otherwise fill a tipper and more fits into one load, at one price.
Two crew on every job in Lisvane
A two-man crew handles the loading on every job. Wardrobes, washing machines, roof panels and other heavy items come out quickly, with no damage to doorframes or floors along the way.
We sweep up before we leave
Finishing the job means sweeping up too — drive, garden, hallway, whatever we have worked in — left as tidy as we found it. It is a five-minute job for us but makes the difference between finished and finished properly.
Add honest flat pricing, free photo quotes and a phone that actually gets answered, and it’s why customers in Lisvane keep coming back to us.
What We Take Away in Lisvane
The list below is what Lisvane customers ask for most, but it is not the limit: if it fits in the van and is not fridges, freezers or asbestos, we will take it away from Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill and the CF14 area alike.
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 Lisvane:
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. See the prices ›
House clearance
End-of-tenancy, probate, selling up or simply 20 years of accumulated belongings — we clear whole properties in Lisvane, usually in a single day. We take the lot or leave what you want to keep or sell. House clearance in Lisvane ›

The whole process is built to be simple: no forms, no site surveys, no waiting around for someone to turn up and look:
Is the council's bulky collection worth it in Lisvane?
If you go through Cardiff Council, a bulky collection in Lisvane is £15 for one or two items, £30 for three or four, and £45 for five or six, plus a £5 booking fee — booked online, with items left at the kerbside, subject to a maximum of six items per booking, and you arrange it by having to book online through the council website. Everything must be at the boundary by collection day, and that includes the streets around Pontprennau and Cyncoed.
The council collects on a booked date, items must be left outside at your usual collection point, and anything over six items needs a second booking. The alternative is a same-day collection: a single flat price for the whole clear-out from wherever the items are in Lisvane, the crew doing every lift, the space swept before we leave — and the same service right across Lisvane, Llanishen and Thornhill.
Areas We Cover in Lisvane
We cover all of Lisvane, plus the areas around it: Thornhill and Llanishen to the west and south-west, Pontprennau to the east, Cyncoed, Lakeside and Rhydypenau to the south, Pentwyn to the south-east, and Rhiwbina a little further west. If you are just outside Lisvane, that is usually no problem at all — Cardiff 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.

Real Jobs, Real Photos — Our Before & After Gallery
Anyone can promise a tidy clearance. We would rather show you one. We photograph almost every job we do — the pile before we start, the clean space after — so you can see exactly the standard we work to. Our before and after gallery is full of real clearances from across South Wales, including jobs in and around Lisvane.
How It Works — Three Simple Steps
Send a photo of the waste over WhatsApp — a few if it is spread across rooms. We reply with an estimate, usually within minutes. No estimator visit needed.
1. Send us a photo
Payment happens only once the van is loaded and the job is visibly finished — card, cash or bank transfer, your choice. Your waste then goes to a licensed site with the paperwork to back it up. Book your slot ›
2. We load it
We show up at the agreed time with a van sized right for the job and two people ready to lift. Loading, working around your furniture and sweeping up afterward is all on us.
3. You pay when it is loaded
Correct — we hold an upper-tier waste carrier registration with Natural Resources Wales (licence CBDU034669, checkable on their public register) and carry public liability cover on every domestic and commercial job.

Do you load everything yourselves?
Yes — we collect from wherever the waste actually sits: upstairs, loft, garage, shed, garden. No need to move anything outside beforehand, and we tidy up before leaving.
What areas of Lisvane and the surrounding area do you cover?
Lisvane is on our regular north Cardiff rounds. We cover all of the CF14 area — including Thornhill, Rhiwbina and Cyncoed — with same-day available where we can.
Can you collect from inside my property in Lisvane?
A WhatsApp photo gets you a confirmed price and slot, usually the same day. Message us here ›
How do I book a collection in Lisvane?
Generally yes, once you factor in the skip rental, a road permit where needed, and the time spent filling it yourself. Our van carries more than a standard tipper, and we do the lifting on top.
Is it cheaper than hiring a skip in Lisvane?
A photo gets an estimate back within minutes, usually. We reply fast and arrive on schedule, with no hourly charges and the space left clean when we go.
