We collect commercial and trade waste from units, shops and offices across Swansea Enterprise Park, and we clear homes, garages and gardens from Glais to Trallwn. Our yard at Jersey Marine is 5.9 miles and about 9 minutes from Llansamlet, and we are a registered waste carrier on the Environment Agency public register, number CBDU624489.
Llansamlet is two places at once. Along the A48 and north towards Glais it is an old coal parish, where the engine house of Scott's Pit still stands among stone terraces and post-war estates. To the west it is Swansea Enterprise Park, the largest commercial district in Swansea, laid out on former industrial land around the 13-acre Lake Fendrod.
We work on both sides of that line. For businesses that means trade waste bins, cardboard collections and clearances when a lease ends; for households it means a skip, a man and van load or a house clearance without a slot at the tip. Neither a unit on Valley Way nor a semi in Birchgrove is a long run for our trucks and vans. We aim to collect within 48 hours of booking, and the office confirms each price after a quick call or a few photos.
Swansea Enterprise Park is not a single estate. It covers about 735 acres between the A4067 and the A4217, with the South Wales Main Line along its south-east edge, and it began in 1981 as the first enterprise zone in the UK. Relaxed planning rules produced a spread of courts, business parks and retail plots rather than one managed site, so estate names overlap and postcodes change from SA7 to SA6 as you cross it. A collection here starts with your road and unit number rather than the name of the park.
Each occupier carries its own duty of care for the waste it produces, whoever shares the yard. We collect from your door, yard or loading bay, load the truck ourselves and leave a waste transfer note for your file. A one-off collection suits a stock clearance or a refit, and a regular round suits steady waste. If your process produces fluorescent tubes, solvents or batteries, raise them at the quote stage, because they cannot ride in a general load.
We supply 240, 660 and 1100 litre bins, emptied weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and where they stand matters as much as their size. Oxwich Court, reached from Valley Way and Coronet Way, is a courtyard of 18 units in three terraces, so a bin has to sit where the neighbours can still reach their loading doors. At Ashmount Business Park the front area serves both loading and parking. Swansea Council's own workshop units, on the park and elsewhere, run from about 46 to 232 square metres, and a 240 litre bin is a sensible place to start in one of those.
Plumbers, electricians, builders and landscapers with a unit here tend to bring waste back from jobs, and it builds up quickly: pipework, stripped cable, offcuts and packaging. We clear it from the unit on a regular round or when you call, and we can collect from the customer's drive as well.
Shops on Phoenix Retail Park, Lion Way Retail Park and Nantyffin Road produce a different mix, mostly cardboard and packaging from large-format stock. Flattened card kept dry can go on its own collection. Collections run five days a week and not at weekends, so a unit that trades through the weekend needs enough capacity to reach the next lift, and we size the bins with that in mind.
Swansea Council also runs a commercial waste service, on contract, with an officer assessing the site before bins are delivered, and it is worth comparing. What we offer is one office for bins, clearances and skips, with rounds that can step up or down on notice.
Since 6 April 2024 every workplace in Wales has had to keep recyclable waste out of its general waste, and that covers an office suite at Charter Court as much as a factory on Siemens Way. Paper and card, glass, and metal, plastic and cartons must all be presented separately, along with food waste where premises produce more than 5kg a week, unsold textiles and, since 6 April 2026, small electrical items. All wood waste is barred from landfill too, which matters to any unit with a stack of broken pallets.
Natural Resources Wales regulates the separation rules and the bans on sending separated waste to landfill or incineration, while Swansea Council, as the local authority, regulates the ban on food waste going to sewer. How the rules play out depends on the premises. A suite on Phoenix Way may produce mostly paper and card, while a Valley Way workshop may produce little beyond card, shrink wrap and metal. Tell the office what you actually throw away and we will set out the bins and collections we can provide. If a stream falls outside what we collect, we will say so before you book.
The duty of care sits alongside all this: pass waste only to a registered carrier and keep each waste transfer note for two years. We issue a note with every collection, and our carrier number, CBDU624489, can be checked on the Environment Agency public register.
Charter Court on Phoenix Way is a group of named office buildings, including Harlech House, Clyne House and Newburgh House. Tawe Business Village fronts the same road, and Waterside Business Park, with its two-storey Venture Court, is on Valley Way. When a tenant moves on, the desks, pedestals, partitions and carpet tiles all have to come out, and we carry them from whichever floor they are on. Sound furniture is set aside for reuse where condition allows.
Industrial units bring racking, pallets, benches, scrap metal and legacy stock instead. Property on the park keeps changing use: a former call centre at Matrix Court on Siemens Way has been marketed for office or warehouse use, and a former discount store on Phoenix Retail Park has been absorbed by the shop next door. Each change like that leaves a strip-out behind it. We clear to the standard the lease or the next tenant requires, keep plasterboard apart from mixed waste as the law requires, and sweep the floor before handback.
Give the office your handback date and a few photos, or ask for a walkover, and we will set out the crew and vehicles the job needs. We do not deal with asbestos or Japanese knotweed.
The council's Llansamlet recycling centre, the tip most people around here mean, is at Ferryboat Close on the Enterprise Park, SA6 8QN. It is only for Swansea residents and every visit needs a booked slot, offered every 15 minutes from 8.30am to 4.45pm. Vans, trailers and sign-written vehicles also need a council permit, which limits how many visits a vehicle can make and asks for proof of address and the vehicle's logbook. We do not run the centre and cannot book slots for you: that is done through the council website.
Businesses are a different matter, however close the unit. The council states that its recycling centres are not licensed to accept waste from a commercial source, which rules the tip out for a shop, a workshop or a tradesperson's load, even from a unit around the corner. It directs commercial waste instead to the Baling Plant next door, at 6 Ferryboat Close, which charges a gate fee. If you would rather not do the loading and driving, we collect from your premises and leave you the waste transfer note.
For a household, a boot of garden cuttings and a booked slot is a perfectly sensible plan, and the council's Tip Treasures reuse shop on the same site takes items in good condition. A sofa, a wardrobe or a garage's worth of boxes is a different job. If we collect it, there is no slot to find, no van to hire and nothing to unload against the clock.
We supply 4, 6 and 8 yard skips to businesses and households alike. Swansea Council's own commercial skips are 12 and 16 cubic yards, for businesses only, and it will not hire them for use on the public highway. A smaller skip, a household skip or one that has to stand on the road therefore needs a private firm.
A skip in a private yard or on a forecourt needs no permit, although on a shared court you will want the landlord's agreement first. A semi in Birchgrove or Trallwn may have a drive that can take one, which needs no permit either. Around St Samlet's Church and along Walters Road, in the conservation area, a stone terrace may leave nowhere but the road.
If a skip has to go on the road a permit is needed, and the office sorts the permit as part of the booking. Swansea Council asks for the application at least 24 hours before the skip is placed and each permit runs for 28 days, so tell us early if the road is your only option. A skip bag on your own ground, or a man and van load, avoids the question altogether.
Flats make up only about 4 per cent of homes in the Llansamlet ward, against about 16 per cent across Swansea, and more than three quarters are detached or semi-detached, on the 2021 census figures in the council's ward profile. Glais is lower density and generally detached, Trallwn has a large post-war council-built estate, and the newer streets of Tregof Village sit at Swansea Vale. In the old village the houses are two-storey stone cottages, with stone steps and cast iron garden walls among the details the council values there.
Our man and van service carries the load out from the loft, garage or back bedroom, up or down those steps, and a van or a truck turns up according to the size of the job. Nothing needs dragging to the kerb.
Swansea Council's bulky waste collection suits a few items you can get outside yourself. They go out between 7pm the evening before and 7am on the day, nothing is collected from inside a property or garden, and a property can put out no more than two fridges or two mattresses. Bathroom suites, radiators, builders' rubble and garden sheds are all excluded. When a load falls outside those rules, we take it from wherever it sits.
Much of Birchgrove was built after the war as estates of semi-detached homes, with more added from the 1990s onwards, and a garage on one of those streets can take decades to fill. We clear garages and lofts, and we take garden waste, old sheds and fence panels from the larger plots around Glais.
House clearances run at the family's pace, whether after a bereavement or ahead of a sale, and anything that looks personal, documentary or valuable is set aside. The council's bulky service cannot be used for furniture a landlord owns in a rented property, so landlords and letting agents around Llansamlet can book us when a tenant leaves, with keys arranged through the office.
Addresses here cross postcode lines. Birchgrove, Glais and Peniel Green, by Llansamlet station, fall under SA7, the western side of the Enterprise Park under SA6, and neighbouring Winch Wen and Bonymaen under SA1. We cover all of them, along with Swansea Vale.
For anything else, our office is glad to help on 01639 630282, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm, closed weekends.
