Very heavy waste

When you are faced with clearing loads of very heavy materials such as bricks, concrete, rubble, soil or wet wood it is charged by the weight of the load, and not the volume. Generally our company will arrange a collection and load the waste onto our specially designed trucks. Most of our trucks today have the latest electronic digital scales to supply an accurate weight of the load you are discarding on site.

The weight rate for heavy waste equals 1 cubic yard per 100 kg, so if for example you have a load measuring 1200 kg this would be charged as 14 cubic yards. This is valid even if it only took up a small area of 6 cubic yards.

For example concrete, rubble and soil all weigh between 250 kg-500 kg per cubic yard. A bag of rubble averages between 30kg-50 kg, so therefore 25 bags of rubble would weigh about 1000kg in total.
