Rubbish Removal in Nelson — From £160, Same-Day Service
Licensed, fully insured rubbish removal across Nelson and the CF46 postcode. Caerphilly County Borough 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.
Nelson is a village in Caerphilly County Borough, set in the Taff Bargoed Valley between Ystrad Mynach and Treharris.
Most Nelson jobs come from Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard and the streets around them, and with the CF46 area on our regular Caerphilly County Borough routes, the van is usually there the same day or the next.
Day-to-day jobs in and around Nelson
The clearances we do in Nelson span everything: whole houses, single rooms, gardens, garages and the odd commercial job — spread across Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard as well.
The rounds we run through Caerphilly County Borough take in Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard, which is why a Nelson booking rarely waits more than a day: the van is already passing.
From Trelewis and Llanfabon to the centre of Nelson, the process is identical: photo estimate, booked slot, licensed disposal (NRW licence CBDU034669), and a sweep-up before the van leaves.
Do you cover Nelson every week on the Caerphilly County Borough round?
Yes — the rounds through Caerphilly County Borough take in Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard, so Nelson is covered every week. If you are just outside Nelson, that is usually no problem at all: the same flat price applies right across Trelewis, Llanfabon, Caerphilly and Abercynon, with no rural surcharge for being a mile or two off the beaten track.
Which postcodes do you cover around Nelson, Trelewis and Llanfabon?
We do. The CF46 belt — including Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard — is on the rounds we run through Caerphilly County Borough, 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 Nelson side of Caerphilly County Borough?
The clearances we do in Nelson span everything: whole houses, single rooms, gardens, garages and the odd commercial job — spread across Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard as well. In practice that means whole-house clearances, garden and garage empties, landlord turnarounds and single bulky items from Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard — each quoted flat on a photo, with the same-day or next-day slot confirmed alongside the price.
How is Nelson different from having the council collect it around Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard?
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 Nelson, Treharris or Quakers Yard, that usually settles it.
What is your lead time in Nelson?
Because Nelson sits on our regular Caerphilly County Borough rounds — the ones that pass through Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard — 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 Nelson Chooses Alpha Waste Removal
We do clearances across Caerphilly County Borough all year round, and a steady share of them come from Nelson and the streets around Treharris and Quakers Yard — which is why same-day slots for Nelson postcodes are usually available.
There are plenty of people with vans operating in Nelson, 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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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
We are an upper-tier registered waste carrier. That means your waste is never dumped on a country lane or in a neighbour's skip — every load goes to licensed facilities, and you never have to worry about the council knocking on your door about illegal dumping. Ask any waste company for their licence number; if they will not give it, walk away.
A 16 cu yd van — 1.5× bigger than most
Our van is not a standard tipper. It is a long-wheelbase, high-roof van measuring 16 cubic yards. A clearance that would be a full tipper plus half of another is one load for us, at one price. You are paying for space, so the bigger the van, the further your money goes.
Two crew on every job in Nelson
Every collection is loaded by a two-man crew. Not one person and a bad back — two of us, so heavy furniture, wardrobes, washing machines and shed roofs come out fast and without damage to your doorframes or floors. It is also why we can clear a full house in a day while single-operator outfits are still on their first room.
We sweep up before we leave
When the load is in the van, we do not just drive off. We sweep the area we have cleared — the drive, the garden, the hallway, the pavement — and leave it as tidy as we found it. Landlords, letting agents and homeowners all appreciate the difference. It takes us five minutes and it is the difference between a job done and a job done properly.
Add honest flat pricing, free photo quotes and a phone that actually gets answered, and it’s why customers in Nelson keep coming back to us.
What We Take Away in Nelson
Across Caerphilly County Borough, the same list applies: we clear homes, gardens, garages and businesses across Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard, on the flat per-van pricing you see on the price page.
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 Nelson:
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 Nelson — 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 Nelson, 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 Nelson ›
Garden waste removal
Hedge clippings, branches, old sheds, broken fence panels, turf, decking and green waste from gardens across Nelson. 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 Nelson. 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 Nelson — 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 Nelson, 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
Just one thing to go? A sofa costs £40–£90 depending on size, a mattress £50 any size, and we will collect it on its own or bundle it with a bigger job. White goods, TVs, furniture, carpets, bikes, tools and empty paint tins are all fine too. Full item price list ›

The council option in Nelson — and the flat-price alternative
If you go through Caerphilly County Borough Council, a bulky collection in Nelson is £38 for one to three items, rising to £53 for six, subject to a maximum of six items per booking, and you arrange it by having to book online, with items put out the night before. Everything must be at the boundary by collection day, and that includes the streets around Trelewis and Llanfabon.
It is a kerbside collection from 6am, items must be kept dry, and anything recorded as soiled or a trip hazard is left behind. The alternative is a same-day collection: a single flat price for the whole clear-out from wherever the items are in Nelson, the crew doing every lift, the space swept before we leave — and the same service right across Nelson, Treharris and Quakers Yard.
Areas We Cover in Nelson
We cover all of Nelson, plus the villages around it: Trelewis, Treharris, Quakers Yard and Edwardsville to the north-west, Taff Merthyr Garden Village and Bedlinog further up the Taff Bargoed valley, Gelligaer and Pen-pedair-heol to the north-east, Ystrad Mynach and Tredomen to the east, Llanfabon to the south, and Abercynon to the west. If you are just outside Nelson, 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.

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

How It Works — Three Simple Steps
We have stripped the booking process back to the basics: no paperwork, no site visits, nothing to wait around for.
1. Send us a photo
A few photos on WhatsApp is all we need, even if the waste is dotted around the house. We will text back an estimate within minutes, with no site visit to arrange first.
2. We load it
We arrive at the time we agreed, in a van that is big enough for the job, with two of us to do the lifting. We load everything ourselves, work around you and your furniture, and sweep up before we leave. All you do is point us at the pile.
3. You pay when it is loaded
You pay nothing upfront — settle up once the van is loaded and you can see the clearance is finished, by card, cash or bank transfer. Every load then goes to a licensed facility with proper paperwork behind it. Book your slot ›
Waste Removal in Nelson — Your Questions Answered
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are properly licensed: an upper-tier waste carrier registration with Natural Resources Wales (CBDU034669 — verifiable on the public register) plus public liability cover on every job we take on, residential or commercial.
How much does waste removal cost in Nelson?
We give a flat-rate estimate upfront — £160 and up for smaller jobs, £290 for a half van, £450 for a full load, with garden waste coming in lower at £80–£250. The number we give from your photos is an estimate; the final price is confirmed once we give you the price on-site, before we start.
Do you load everything yourselves?
That is exactly what we do — a two-person crew carries everything out, from the garden, the loft or any room in the house. You will not need to move a thing to the kerb first; that is included.
What areas of Nelson and the surrounding area do you cover?
Nelson sits at the head of the Taff Bargoed Valley. We cover the whole CF46 area — including Treharris, Quakers Yard and Bedlinog — on our Caerphilly routes.
Can you collect from inside my property in Nelson?
Correct, we go and get it from wherever it is — bedroom, loft, garage, shed or garden — without you needing to bring anything to the kerb. We work carefully around your furniture and leave the area swept.
How do I book a collection in Nelson?
A photo on WhatsApp is all it takes — we will confirm your price and a collection slot, usually within the same day. Message us here ›
Is it cheaper than hiring a skip in Nelson?
In most cases, yes — add up the skip rental, a road permit if required, and the days spent filling it yourself, and it tends to cost more. Our van is larger than a standard tipper, so a single load carries further, and the lifting is on us.
