[[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]]''' or for [[disposal]], for example in an [[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.

In terms of [[EWC]] references further detail is expanded in [[Inert Waste]].
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 large majority of this material is the result of construction and demolition and mining and quarrying, with household waste representing a reletively small tonnage in comparison.

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 and hardcore. These include:

The main tonnages therefore include:

In all cases these categories exclude any tonnage reported originating from households.
This means that the Soil, Rubble, Hardcore reported by Local Authorities is reported under a grouped reporting category in the [[DEFRA]] digest figures, normally 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 (also summarized in the page on [[UK Waste Tonnage]]).

The macro numbers above therefore do not breakdown the component elements of soil, rubble and 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]].
