Your not mixing top soil and sub soil up are you???

There are a few around us inert tips i think it's called (farmer owned) tipping of brick/concrete is free it gets crushed and resold.

Topsoil gets tipped in a separate pile, mixed soil clay etc gets tipped separate.

Very few people have the luxury of storage space like us farmers. I have seen new packs of kerbs being tipped for crushing let alone topsoil.

It will be very area dependent
Yes I’ve seen lots of waste on building sites where they just load up and dispose rather then move on to new site

Two parties can contract to do anything (legal) they want. In the OP's case, there doesn't seem to have been much of a contract. Except the builder was not given the go ahead to dispose of the soil.

Sometimes if you stretch a situation out to an extreme and see if the theory still works, it can help find the solution.

Let's suppose the farmer contracts with a builder to fit a new stove. Obviously, the old fireplace needs to be modified, so the builder removes it. The fire sarround is rather fancy carved marble. Nothing is said about it's disposal. Does that mean the builder has the right to sell it for £12,000 and pocket the money?

Yes! If the farmer is daft enough to not specify it.
 
Not sure how others can comment on here with out more info from op!?

If OP asked builder to build him a house there should be a good contract which will cover such details.

Little point commenting further untill we know some facts surely!?

Be aware that moving material around with out paper work can get very expensive if caught!

You may get a hint from the first post.

sorry but the 1st post says nothing about contracts and who has been asked to do what!? is the builder doing the whole job, this bit or was he just asked to clear the site?

I think that's the point! Nobody seems to know which seems to have resulted in a bit of a muddle which I thought this thread was started to sort out. But we haven't really got anywhere, have we?
