Why separating your muck pays for itself
The gap between inert and mixed tipping rates is bigger than most people realise.
Landfill tax is charged at two rates. Inert material such as clean soil and hardcore is taxed at a few pounds a tonne. Mixed waste is taxed at well over a hundred.
On a sixteen tonne grab load that difference runs into four figures. It is the single largest variable in what a muck away job costs, and it is entirely within your control on site.
Keeping the clean dig separate from general site waste takes very little effort and the saving is immediate. One contaminated item is enough to reclassify a whole load, so it is worth being strict about it.
