Disposing of cut Ivy.
To dispose of the cut ivy the best way is to burn it or it can be left on a ground-sheet in a heap to die off.
Check your contractor is not going to shift your problem to someone else by dumping it in a field somewhere. Small amounts can be tied in a bin bag to rot and then added to your compost heap. Never add living green ivy to your compost heap.

Even when you think you have won the battle, a bird will dump an Ivy seed smack bang right in the middle of your garden. A new shoot will appear over your neighbours wall or under the boundary fence. Keep on top of it.
I don't like using chemicals, but in the case of Ivy I feel its justified, spraying the growing leaves with weed killers containing Glyphosate (it attacks the leaves and the roots) will kill of the plant. You may need to repeat this. (read the label)
