Soil & rubble

Household Recycling Centres

Soil, rubble, hardcore and other similar materials are accepted at household recycling centres. The material is inert and can be used for landscaping in large projects. Locally the material is used as a covering layer at a landfill site. This material is used to cover waste dumped in the landfill each day and helps manage landfill sites safely and reduces the impact on the local environment.

Did you know using soil and rubble from local homes to landscape the landfill saves transporting materials long distances.
