Our Commitment to 
Muck Away Compliance

We ensure your project meets:

You receive:

  • Licensed carriers and legal disposal routes
  • Duty-of-care documentation for full traceability
  • Soil contamination guidance and testing support
  • Recycling and recovery wherever possible

We reduce project risk by managing waste responsibly from excavation to final disposal.

A licensed waste carrier in an appropriate vehicle will come to your site. Once we have all the necessary paperwork confirmed, we’ll remove the concrete waste. It’ll be taken to a nearby facility for proper concrete waste disposal. Rather than dumping waste concrete in landfill, we work to extend its life.

As it won’t degrade, the preferred method for concrete waste disposal is turning it into new aggregate materials. Waste concrete is normally crushed and broken down even further. Then as new aggregate it’s used for backfilling, foundations, and mixing into fresh concrete – creating materials essential for new construction projects.

FAQs

  • GROUNDS Where does muck away go?

    After collecting muck away for removal, it usually goes to an appropriate nearby facility for sorting and separating. Then, depending on the type of muck away waste, it may be broken down further, treated if needed, and turned into aggregate for reuse in further construction projects.

    Hazardous muck away waste will require treatment to remove the properties that can be harmful to human health and the environment before disposal. Muck away should not go to landfill as it doesn’t degrade.

  • GROUNDS What is non-hazardous muck away?

    Non-hazardous muck away is simply any construction waste from the groundwork process that doesn’t meet the definition for inert waste or have any hazardous properties. This can include soils, silt, and sludge that is not hazardous. These all require storage, removal, and disposal separate from inert and hazardous muck away waste.

  • GROUNDS What is muck shift?

    Muck shift is another term for muck away, which can be used interchangeably. It refers to the removal of large amounts of soil, rocks, and other materials during construction, demolition, and civil engineering works.
