SERVICE OVERVIEW
What is Soil Only Waste?
Soil Only Waste means a load made up entirely of clean soil or sand. Keeping the load free from other materials allows it to remain within the correct waste category.
If the soil is mixed with bricks, concrete, tiles, timber, metal, gyprock or other approved building materials, compare our Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste bins. For clean concrete, bricks and tiles without general or mixed waste, see Clean Heavy Waste.
Roots, turf, branches and garden cuttings are not Soil Only Waste. Check the Green Waste category for accepted garden materials.

KEEP THE LOAD CLEAN
How to prepare a Soil Only load
Check the excavation area before loading begins. Separate bricks, concrete, tiles, rubble, plastic, timber, turf, roots and garden waste from the soil or sand.
Do not use the Soil Only category if other materials remain mixed through the load. Choose Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste when approved building materials need to be loaded with soil.
Call (08) 9437 3733 before booking if you cannot keep the load clean.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CATEGORY
What if the load contains more than soil?
A Soil Only bin cannot contain any other waste. If the load includes approved concrete, bricks, tiles, rubble, timber, metal or gyprock, compare the Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste category.
If the load is made up of clean concrete, bricks and tiles without general waste, see Clean Heavy Waste. Turf, roots, branches and garden cuttings may belong in the Green Waste category.
Use the waste type comparison or call our team if the correct category is not clear.
