[[Category:Tonnage & Waste Types]]
[[Soil, Rubble, Hardcore]] is the general description used by Local Authorities and [[WDF]] for the [[Inert Waste]] deposited at [[Household Waste Recycling Centres]] ([[HWRC]]) which is then sent for processing into a '''[[Secondary Aggregate]]''' for further use in construction. In the case of Soil, Rubble, Hardcore which cannot be reprocessed into a Secondary Aggregate, especially for the Soil part of the waste, material is disposed of to [[Landfill]] - especially [[Inert Landfill]].
[[Soil, Rubble, Hardcore]] includes bricks, blocks, slates, tiles, rubble, paving slabs, concrete, gravel, tarmac, stones, soil, sand, and sanitary ware (ceramic toilets, sinks, pedestals etc)<ref>Devon County Council, 2018. [https://www.devon.gov.uk/wasteandrecycling/recycling-centres/chargeable-waste/ Chargeable waste Devon - Waste and Recycling.] [online] [Accessed 5 Dec. 2019].</ref>.

Whilst [[Soil, Rubble, Hardcore]] captures the [[WDF]] description, in terms of [[EWC]] references there are wider categories captured in a different way, and this is further expanded in WikiWaste on the page on [[Inert Waste]]. When considering these codes the majority of these waste types arise from [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] and [[Mining Waste | Mining and Quarrying Waste]] with a large proportion sent for processing into [[Secondary Aggregate]]. In this context the amount of tonnage from Local Authorities is relatively small in comparison.

The most recent information published by DEFRA identifies a number of categories that include soil, rubble and hardcore. These include 'mineral waste from construction and demolition' at 63,618,634 tonnes generated in 2016, 'other mineral wastes' at 17,501,418 tonnes, 'mineral waste from waste treatment & stabilized waste' at 45,584 tonnes, and 'soils' at 58,668,341 tonnes generated in 2016. In all cases these categories exclude any tonnage reported households.  
The most recent information published by [[DEFRA]] <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/env23-uk-waste-data-and-management UK Statistics on Waste 2020]</ref> is based on 2016 data and identifies a number of categories that include Soil, Rubble, Hardcore, which are primarily [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] and [[Mining Waste | Mining And Quarrying Waste]] (tonnage reported originating from households is reported within [[Household Waste]] figures by [[DEFRA]]). The main tonnages therefore include:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Reported by [[DEFRA]] as Generated in 2016 !! tonnes
|-
| 'mineral waste from construction and demolition' || 63,618,634
|-
| 'other mineral wastes' || 17,501,418
|-
| 'mineral waste from waste treatment & stabilized waste' || 45,584
|-
| 'soils' || 58,668,341
|}
 
The macro numbers above therefore do not breakdown the component elements of Soil, Rubble, Hardcore in respect of [[Household Waste]], but the following headers in the page are the materials as handled by Local Authorities and as reported through [[WasteDataFlow]], although Soil, Rubble, Hardcore is sometimes listed within 'household and similar' waste as well.


This means that the soil, rubble and hardcore reported by local authorities is reported under a grouped reporting category in the DEFRA digest figures, most likely as part of the larger tonnage of 'household and similar waste' category that totaled 15,108,682 tonnes of household category tonnage alone in the UK in 2016.
