Waste soil classifiation for off-site disposal

Excess soil from earthworks needs to be classified to determine where it can be disposed of or if it can be re-used, in accordance with the MfE Hazardous Waste Guidelines. Soil disposal costs can have major implications for development projects. Upfront assessment of soil quality enables the developer to gain more certainty over construction cost and programme, including off-site soil disposal options and increased flexibility in materials handling on site.
