Waste removal in Llandaff (CF5 postcodes)
Rubbish Removal in Llandaff — From £160, Same-Day Service
Licensed, fully insured rubbish removal across Llandaff and the CF5 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.
Llandaff is a cathedral city and suburb in north Cardiff, dominated by Llandaff Cathedral and set on the west bank of the River Taff. Our CF5 postcode rounds cover Llandaff regularly, including the cathedral green, the high street and the surrounding residential streets.
Most Llandaff jobs come from Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt and the streets around them, and with the CF5 area on our regular Cardiff routes, the van is usually there the same day or the next.
What Llandaff customers usually need
Suburban clearances around Llandaff 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 Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt.
Estate agents, solicitors and letting agents across Cardiff send us work from Llandaff and the villages around Llandaff North and Danescourt, which keeps our rounds regular and our same-day slots realistic.
Every Llandaff collection is quoted flat on the photo, booked into a slot, disposed of at NRW-licensed facilities (licence CBDU034669), and finished with a sweep-up — the same standard right across the CF5 area, from Llandaff North and Danescourt to the far side of Llandaff.
How often do you collect in Llandaff, Gabalfa and Fairwater?
Yes — the rounds through Cardiff take in Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt, so Llandaff is covered every week. If you are just outside Llandaff, that is usually no problem at all: the same flat price applies right across Gabalfa, Fairwater, Radyr and Whitchurch, with no rural surcharge for being a mile or two off the beaten track.
Do you collect across the CF5 belt, including the Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt side?
We do. The CF5 belt — including Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt — 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 do you usually clear in Llandaff, around Gabalfa and Fairwater?
Suburban clearances around Llandaff 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 Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt. In practice that means whole-house clearances, garden and garage empties, landlord turnarounds and single bulky items from Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt — each quoted flat on a photo, with the same-day or next-day slot confirmed alongside the price.
What does the council charge in Llandaff compared with you?
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 Llandaff, Llandaff North or Danescourt, that usually settles it.
What is your lead time in Llandaff?
Same-day in Llandaff for most jobs booked before mid-morning, next-day beyond that, and we hold slots on the Cardiff rounds that pass Llandaff, Llandaff North and Danescourt most weeks. The confirmed time comes with the price, before we set off.
Why Llandaff Chooses Alpha Waste Removal
We do clearances across Cardiff all year round, and a steady share of them come from Llandaff and the streets around Llandaff North and Danescourt — which is why same-day slots for Llandaff postcodes are usually available.
There are plenty of people with vans operating in Llandaff, 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 Llandaff 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 Llandaff and across Cardiff Council. Every load goes to licensed facilities with a waste transfer note provided as standard.
Fully licensed and insured — licence CBDU034669
Being registered properly means your waste is never left on a country lane or stuffed in a neighbour's skip — every load goes to a licensed site, which keeps the council out of your business entirely.
A 16 cu yd van — 1.5× bigger than most
The van we bring is not a basic tipper — it is a long-wheelbase, high-roof 16-cubic-yard model. What would need a tipper plus extra elsewhere becomes a single load with us, at a single price.
Two crew on every job in Llandaff
Every job gets a two-person crew to do the loading, so heavy pieces like wardrobes, washing machines and roof sections come out fast, without catching your doorframes or scuffing the floors.
We sweep up before we leave
Once loaded, we sweep whichever area we have been working in — driveway, garden, hall — so it looks as tidy as before we arrived. A small step that takes minutes but shows in the finish.
Add honest flat pricing, free photo quotes and a phone that actually gets answered, and it’s why customers in Llandaff keep coming back to us.
What We Take Away in Llandaff
Whatever comes out of a Llandaff home — from the loft, the garage, the garden or the spare room — goes onto the van at one flat price, estimated from the photo and confirmed on-site before we start.
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 Llandaff:
General waste & rubbish removal

The council option in Llandaff — and the flat-price alternative
If you live in Llandaff or nearby in Llandaff North and Danescourt, the council's bulky waste service 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, limited to a maximum of six items per booking, and arranged by having to book online through the council website. It is a kerbside service, so everything has to be out at the boundary on the day.
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. A private collection from Llandaff works differently: one price quoted on the photo, the two-man crew doing every lift, and the whole load gone in a single visit — no separate per-item charges, and no carrying everything to the pavement yourself, even on the tighter streets around Gabalfa and Fairwater.
Areas We Cover in Llandaff
We cover all of Llandaff, including the Cathedral area and the streets around Llandaff Fields, plus the areas around it: Llandaff North, Whitchurch and Danescourt to the north, Gabalfa and Mynachdy to the north-east, Pontcanna and Canton to the south-east, and Fairwater and Pentrebane to the west. If you are just outside Llandaff, 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.

Anyone can promise a tidy clearance. We would rather show you one.

We arrive at the time agreed, with a correctly sized van and two of us ready to carry. We do all the loading, work carefully round your things, and leave the area swept.
