Overview
Soil, rubble and hardcore includes bricks, blocks, slates, tiles, rubble, paving slabs, concrete, gravel, tarmac, stones, soil, sand, and sanitary ware (ceramic toilets, sinks, pedestals etc)[1].
Macro Tonnages
The most recent information published by DEFRA [2] [3]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.
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 as part of the broader tonnage summarized in UK Waste Tonnage.
