Inert and soil tipping, UK-wide

Clean inert material should be among the lowest-cost waste on any job to get rid of, but only if it goes to the right place. Inert landfills, quarry restoration schemes and recycling sites all take soil, stones, concrete and hardcore, but their acceptance rules and gate prices are all different. C&D Waste Disposal Brokerage finds you a competitive tipping price per tonne for inert loads anywhere in the UK, for your own lorries, with payment in full before collection.

Inert materials we price

• Clean excavated soil, subsoil and clay
• Stones and natural rock
• Concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics
• Mixed hardcore from breakouts and demolition

EWC codes such as 17 05 04 for soil and stones or 17 01 07 for mixed concrete and bricks are a guide. The correct code depends on where your material came from and what is in it, and it must be agreed before tipping.

Getting the lower rate of landfill tax

Where inert material goes to landfill, qualifying loads can be taxed at the lower rate, which from 1 April 2026 is £8.65 per tonne, against £130.75 per tonne at the standard rate. That gap is the single biggest reason to keep inert waste separate from everything else. A few bags of plasterboard or a pile of timber in a soil load can push the whole lorry onto the standard rate, or get it turned away at the gate.

Landfill isn't always the answer

Good-quality inert material is often wanted elsewhere. Restoration and recycling sites may accept clean loads at a lower gate fee than landfill, and crushed hardcore can go back into use as aggregate. When we price your load we look at all of the licensed options in reach of your site, not just the nearest tip, and give you the one that works out best for you.

What we need from you

Use the form below to send the site postcode, material, approximate tonnes or loads, the lorry type you are running and the date. If you have soil test results or a waste classification report, mention it; brownfield and former industrial sites often need one before any site will accept the material. We'll come back with a price per tonne, you tip with the duty-of-care paperwork in place, and you pay in full by bank transfer before collection.
