Hedgecutting Waste Shredding & Removal

After six months of waiting, farmers and landowners can finally cut hedges again. But that also means one thing: waste piles. And when you’re busy running a farm, the last thing you want is a mountain of hedge cuttings sitting there — or worse, a fine for disposing of them the wrong way.

That’s where we come in. Talbot Plant Hire provides a complete hedgecutting waste shredding and removal service, trusted by farmers, contractors and landowners across Ireland.

The Problem: Hedgecutting Waste Doesn’t Just Disappear

If you’ve done hedgecutting before, you know the score:

• Waste builds up quickly.
• Burning or dumping can land you in hot water with NPWS or local authorities.
• Piles left in the corner make fields unworkable and cause headaches for inspections.
• And shifting it by hand? Forget it - you’ve better things to do.

In short: hedgecutting waste is more than an eyesore, it’s a compliance issue.

Compliance Matters
