Japanese Knotweed Incineration

[treesnakey]

Does anyone know where I can take Japanese Knotweed for Incineration. Ive tried the EA website, but the local waste contractors only provide a skip and landfill services.

 

Any help would be great.

Hi Treesnakey, I thought it was illegal to carry knotweed of site.

Hospital Incinerators; normally 3rd party operated and take other waste streams. Be prepared to pay tho!

You need a special licence to transport it. If you burn on site the ash is supposed to be buried 5m deep. You'll need a waste transfer note from the contractor moving the stuff.

My apologies if this link doesn't work, just Google transporting japanese knotweed and look at the SEPA site.

I've got the waste carriers licence. Though its very expensive to hire skips that go to landfill. Also I'm based in London and its a smokeless zone, so DIY burning for me.
