Heavy waste
Concrete, brick and dirt bins
Heavy material needs the right bin and the right truck. Get it wrong and the driver cannot lift it.
Heavy waste behaves differently to everything else. A 4m³ bin looks half empty and is already over the weight limit. That is why heavy material goes in smaller bins with higher ratings. It is not us being difficult, it is what the truck can legally lift.
Keep the load clean and it is cheaper too, because clean concrete gets crushed and reused instead of going to landfill.

Common questions
Why can I not fill the bin to the top?
Weight, not room. Concrete hits the legal limit at about a third of the bin volume.
Does the load need separating?
A clean single-material load is cheaper to process, so it is worth it if you can.
What about contaminated soil?
It needs classification before it can be moved. Ring us before you dig if you suspect anything.
