The Alpha Waste difference

We don't cut corners. Ever.

There are plenty of cowboys in this trade — unlicensed operators who fly-tip your waste and leave you, the landowner, liable. As a SEPA-registered upper-tier carrier, every load we collect is tracked, transported legally and disposed of properly.

Upper-tier licence

SEPA registered — ask for our carrier number at any time.

Waste transfer notes

Full documentation provided on request for every job.

Responsible disposal

No fly-tipping. Over 80% diverted from landfill.

Honest pricing

No hidden fees. A fixed quote before we lift a thing.
