FREE Hardcore

Hi There. Not a farmer but got 8m3 of hardcore from the back garden if anyone wants to come and collect it. I live in Hove so a big van would probably do the trick. Thanks Ben

That would weigh close to 18 tons!

So a grab lorry more suitable?

I was talking to a land agent the other day, and he was saying he had just attended a meeting with his firm and was told that now, with the aggregate tax, old landfills that contained building rubble were being dug up it was economically viable to re use it.

Snowflake Alert.
Accepting hard-core that doesn't come with a paper trail will cause grief if you are seen and reported. Need correct waste exemption at accepting site too.

Never trust a man in pink trousers, if the crap I've put into landfill in the good old days is anything to go by you would have to be desperate to dig one up.

I reckon it won't be long before landfills are mined, if you incinerate the stuff you dig up, what ever is left is either aggregate or metal both of which are worth money for recycling besides the value of the electricity being generated from incineration.

What about the fibre asbestos?

Was this stuff ever sent to landfill in quantity? I would guess all smoke and ask particles would be caught by the electrostatic precipitation equipment in modern incinerator powerplants.

I’ve always thought there must be thousands of tons of valuable materials contained in landfill, back in the 70s 80s everything went in.

Your not wrong there - it’s unbelievable the stuff that was dumped

Took a load of old window glass to the local tip and was told it had to go in the rubble skip, why put glass into what looked like good reusable rubble?
Didn't make sense to me

I had to out a sink and toilet in aswell!! I guess it all goes through a crusher and screener after anyhow. There’s a lot of recycling aggregates and concrete etc going on now instead of it going as “fill” as it used to years ago

He is way behind as usual.

 

[roscoe erf]

I’d want paying to pick it up

Glass is widely used in aggregate

Local sand pit that was filled with inert waste over the last twenty years is being dug up and recycled,good product produced but not just good enough for making ready mix,not stopped them trying though.
