WASTE CLASSIFICATION

WASTE CLASSIFICATION

Waste classification is needed to determine the most appropriate way to manage waste materials destined for disposal, storage or treatment, including assessing what level of risk the waste presents and ensuring that any parties receiving it are permitted to do so.

As well as legal and compliance considerations, correct waste classification can also result in cost and time savings for clients projects. Hazardous landfills are significantly more expensive than non-hazardous and inert landfills. Seeking our expert advice at the correct stage can often minimise the volume of waste requiring disposal at the expensive rates.

For soils arising from contaminated or potentially contaminated sites, waste classification is a two stage process. Firstly, the soil is subject to laboratory analysis and the data is used to classify the material as either hazardous or non-hazardous waste, following the procedure outlined in the Environment Agency Document WM3.

Once the List of Waste code has been determined, Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) Testing may be required if the soil is intended to be disposed of to landfill.

Our team are experienced in the classification and management of waste and are able to provide Waste Classification Reporting to all our clients.

We can also provide advice for Waste Management Plans and the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste: Development Industry Code of Practice.

Simply provide us with your soil analysis report(s) and one of our experienced team will be able to advise you on the best solution.

A & J have been our preferred earthmoving contractor and aggregates supplier on a number of large groundworks projects. We can rely on the team to always provide a first class, reliable service which offers our organisation the reassurance that our sites are running at maximum productivity and meeting our project deadlines. If ever there’s an issue the team at A & J will make us aware and offer a solution.

 

DINO TORCHIA, MANAGING DIRECTOR, TITHEGROVE LIMITED

A & J are our first choice for muckaway services on projects all over the South West and I fully recommend them. If I have any last minute requirements the transport team always do their best to accommodate us – nothing is too much trouble. They are very knowledgeable in helping with any environmental concerns too and always ensure any waste is removed to a licenced facility. I can trust the professional team at A & J to ensure that all H&S, Duty of Care and compliance requirements are met.

 

DAN O’CONNOR, DIRECTOR, POC CONTRACTORS LIMITED

I wouldn’t usually go out of my way to recommend a company but A & J Waste Services in this instance certainly deserve my recommendation. I contacted James a fortnight ago to arrange a muckshift of 400 loads which I needed moving in 4 days! Not phased in the slightest, James accepted the line of work and incredibly just in 1 day they achieved 152 loads.

There’s a handful of hauliers I know of who could have given a similar service, but probably not to this extent. 
For a faultless service and, just as importantly, competitive rates, I would definitely recommend giving the team at A & J a shout.

GARY HARRIS, DIRECTOR, HARRIS & HARRIS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED

A & J Waste Services have recently completed another very large bulk soil removal project for us in Chippenham. I’ve known James through the industry for many years so had no reservation about his knowledge and experience in this field. The wider team act diligently and professionally and the projects have been completed on time, on budget and we are extremely pleased with the results.

 

MARK DEE, COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR, BARRATT HOMES (BRISTOL)

A & J have recently completed another bulk earthworks and muckshift contract for us in Wiltshire. Not only did they do a brilliant job, but we were very reassured by their level of H&S/Covid provision, environmental knowledge and professionalism on site.
