As we keep getting asked this question we thought an update would be in order.
At present the UK landfill tax is £56 per tonne rising to £64/t in April 2012.
Hazardous soil disposal rates vary across the country from around £30/t – £60/t depending on the type of contamination and volume. Essentially the greater the volume the better gate fee you will get.
Non-hazardous soil disposal again varies across the country from around £10/t – £20/t with the same provisos as above.
As a rule of thumb if you allow £100/t for hazardous soil disposal and £75 per tonne for non-hazardous soil disposal you won’t go far wrong. But don’t forget to allow for the excavation, haulage and site management costs as well as duty of care paperwork and Section 62’s for hazardous soils.
If in doubt or need more help why not give us a call on 0131 538 8456 or email us as we have good relations with many landfill operators and should be able to get you preferential rates.
