Soil, Rubble, Hardcore: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:37, 10 December 2020

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)^[1].

Overview

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 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.

Macro Tonnages

The most recent information published by DEFRA ^[2] 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 And Quarrying Waste (tonnage reported originating from households is reported within Household Waste figures by DEFRA). The main tonnages therefore include:

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.
