Waste removal in Pentwyn (CF23 postcodes)
Rubbish Removal in Pentwyn — From £160, Same-Day Service
Licensed, fully insured rubbish removal across Pentwyn and the CF23 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.
Pentwyn is a large residential estate in northeast Cardiff, built in the 1970s and set around Pentwyn Drive and the A48. Our CF23 postcode rounds cover Pentwyn regularly, including the estate roads, the surrounding suburbs and Llanedeyrn.
The CF23 postcode belt is on our regular Cardiff routes, taking in Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau. That is why a Pentwyn booking rarely waits long: quote on the photo, slot confirmed, collection same-day where we can.
What Pentwyn customers usually need
Suburban clearances around Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau.
Most of the work arrives from Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau and the streets around them — and because we run the Cardiff rounds weekly, most Pentwyn jobs are done within a day of the photo quote.
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 Cardiff and right through Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau.
Do you cover Pentwyn every week on the Cardiff round?
Yes — the rounds through Cardiff take in Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau, so Pentwyn is covered every week. If you are just outside Pentwyn, that is usually no problem at all: the same flat price applies right across Llanrumney and St Edeyrn's Village, with no rural surcharge for being a mile or two off the beaten track.
Are the villages around Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau included in your Pentwyn rounds?
We do. The CF23 belt — including Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau — 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 Pentwyn, around Llanrumney and St Edeyrn's Village?
Suburban clearances around Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau. In practice that means whole-house clearances, garden and garage empties, landlord turnarounds and single bulky items from Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau — each quoted flat on a photo, with the same-day or next-day slot confirmed alongside the price.
How is Pentwyn different from having the council collect it around Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau?
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 Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn or Pontprennau, that usually settles it.
Can you do same-day collections in Pentwyn, Llanrumney and St Edeyrn's Village?
Most Pentwyn postcodes get a same-day slot for jobs confirmed before mid-morning, with next-day after that; the rounds through Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau run frequently, so the wait for a slot is rarely long. We confirm the exact time alongside the estimate.
Why Pentwyn Chooses Alpha Waste Removal
We do clearances across Cardiff all year round, and a steady share of them come from Pentwyn and the streets around Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau — which is why same-day slots for Pentwyn postcodes are usually available.
There are plenty of people with vans operating in Pentwyn, 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 Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn
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 Pentwyn keep coming back to us.
What We Take Away in Pentwyn
The list below is what Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau and the CF23 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 Pentwyn:
General waste & rubbish removal

How Pentwyn residents usually get rid of bulky items
Most people do not realise Pentwyn falls under Cardiff Council, whose bulky service costs £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, capped at a maximum of six items per booking, and booked by having to book online through the council website — with the items left at the kerbside in Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau.
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. For many Pentwyn households — and plenty in Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn and Pontprennau — 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 Pentwyn
We cover all of Pentwyn, including Bryn Pinwydden, Llwyn Castan, Coeden Dal, Glyn Eiddew, Waun Fach and Bryncyn, plus the areas around it: Pontprennau and St Edeyrn's Village to the north, Llanrumney and Old St Mellons to the east, Llanedeyrn and Cyncoed to the south-west, and Lakeside and Penylan a little further south. If you are just outside Pentwyn, 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 Pentwyn.
How It Works — Three Simple Steps
The process is deliberately simple — no forms to fill in, no site survey, no waiting around for someone to come and look:
1. Send us a photo
Send us a photo (or several, if the waste is spread across more than one room) on WhatsApp. We will reply with an estimate, usually inside a few minutes, with no site visit required.
2. We load it
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.
3. You pay when it is loaded
Payment only happens once the van is loaded and the job is visibly done — cash, card or bank transfer, whichever you prefer. Your waste then goes to licensed disposal sites with the paperwork to back it up. Book your slot ›
Waste Removal in Pentwyn — Your Questions Answered
Are you licensed and insured?
That is correct — we are registered as an upper-tier waste carrier with Natural Resources Wales (CBDU034669, checkable on their public register) and we carry public liability insurance across every domestic and commercial job.
How much does waste removal cost in Pentwyn?
Our prices are flat and set by the size of the load: £450 for a full van, £290 for a half load, and smaller jobs from £160. Garden waste runs cheaper, between £80 and £250. Whatever we quote from your photos is an estimate — the final figure is confirmed once we give you the price on-site, before we start.
Do you load everything yourselves?
Yes, a two-man crew handles all the lifting — whether it is in a bedroom, the loft or the garden. Nothing needs dragging to the kerb beforehand; doing that for you is the whole point of the service.
What areas of Pentwyn and the surrounding area do you cover?
Pentwyn is on our regular east Cardiff rounds. We cover the whole CF23 area — including Llanedeyrn, Pontprennau and St Mellons — with same-day on most jobs.
Can you collect from inside my property in Pentwyn?
Yes — we collect directly from wherever the waste sits, whether that is an upstairs room, the loft, a shed or the garden. There is no need to move anything outside beforehand, and we sweep up before we go.
How do I book a collection in Pentwyn?
Send a photo over on WhatsApp and we will come back with a price and an available slot, often the same day. Message us here ›
Is it cheaper than hiring a skip in Pentwyn?
Generally yes, once you factor in the skip hire cost, a council permit if it needs to sit on the road, and the time spent loading it yourself. Our van holds more than a standard tipper, so your money covers more waste — and we do the lifting.
