Issue
Every year millions of tonnes of reusable construction and demolition waste (e.g. soils, aggregate, timber, furniture etc.) is landfilled. These waste materials could be a valuable resource on other projects and landfill disposal of these materials can incur significant disposal and landfill tax costs.
Using our extensive experience in the waste management industry Albion has developed a free service to help companies reuse waste materials.
Tool Description
The tool has been developed to aid both waste producers and potential waste
receivers. Users can use this tool to post the following adverts:
• Waste materials you need to dispose of from your site (e.g. excess
soil, aggregate, timber etc.)
Or
• Materials you are looking for (e.g. soil and aggregate for upfill,
capping etc.)
Just follow a few simple steps and your advert will be live for other users
to search and browse by location and material type. Adverts will include key
information, such as volume, material descriptions, photographs and relevant
testing certificates, where applicable. Once a possible match is made users
can get in contact with each other through the tool to discuss further.
Value
Designed to help companies reduce their waste disposal and management costs and increase re-use and landfill diversion rates. In addition, it can help to demonstrate your commitment to the Circular Economy.
Cost
Any fees for a possible exchange will be discussed and agreed directly between
individual parties. The posting and browsing of adverts is free, however Albion’s
team of experienced staff are on hand to provide support as required. Additional
support can include independent inspections of waste materials to assess suitability
for reuse, waste classification assessments to confirm materials are non-hazardous
in accordance with WM3, support obtaining waste management licence exemptions
and compliance checks to ensure exchanges of waste materials are undertaken
in accordance with waste legislation. Fees for additional support will be
agreed on a site by site basis.
