Clean fill soil is accepted at no charge, it must be clay based and free of debris.
Clean gravel is accepted at no charge, it must be free of debris.
Landfill staff has final decision if the soil is acceptable as fill or considered waste.
All commercial and large residential soil projects will be classified as contaminated and not accepted, until proven otherwise. Soil samples must be submitted to a third-party lab for a Class II Landfill Analysis, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Soluble Chloride (mg/kg), and any known contaminants.
Soil analysis meeting the acceptance criteria for the landfill will be accepted free of charge. If the project volume exceeds 500 tonnes, or if the waste material changes in physical state, odour and /or appearance, the county may request additional sampling to take place at no cost to the county.
Analysis can take up to seven days, please plan accordingly or your loads may be refused.
