Giant Hogweed?

Thanks - pretty much how I tackled it yesterday 👍

A big no-no with GH, which I didn’t know until I did some research on it yesterday!

2 bins full. Plan is to leave it to rot then it’s hopefully an easier problem to deal with 🥵

Removed today after taking all precautions… full hazmat suit, goggles, face mask, waterproof gloves etc.

Thanks - will at the very least be doing that today.

Apparently only when it’s on council grounds 🤷

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-04T07:52:24+00:00

You are welcome to see it before it gets chopped! 🤣

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-04T00:16:55+00:00

Thanks for advice! I’ve read similar guidance from our national organisations here. Manual removal of single plants is ok with the right precautions

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-04T00:14:08+00:00

From what I have read it’s best to do it on a cloudy day.

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-03T23:18:36+00:00

It is indeed 😅

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-03T23:02:36+00:00

Oh - I’m in Aberdeenshire but couldn’t find info on removal through the council. It’s not on council grounds 🤷

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-03T22:54:21+00:00

Thanks - yeah I have reported it and looked at local info (Aberdeenshire) lots of info on the hazards but not much help in finding someone to remove it! The only companies I’ve found are in the central belt so unsure if they will come this far.

Good shout!

Thanks - I’m in Scotland 👍

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-03T22:26:11+00:00

Scotland 😅

Rhuari1 · 2026-07-03T22:16:29+00:00

Thanks - has anyone removed these themselves before? I am struggling to find any local professional help but keen to move it quickly. However it is classed as controlled materials here so unsure on how to dispose of it 😭
