Our delivery vehicles are large, weighing 32 tonnes, and feature a mid-mounted crane that can extend up to 6 meters to unload your items from the side. These lorries are 8 x 4 wheelers. The trucks are approximately 11 meters long and 3 meters wide. To safely access your delivery site, they require a clear pathway that is at least 3 meters wide. Our trucks cannot manoeuvre over raised edges such as curbs, travel over manhole covers or move across lawns. Please inform us ahead of time of any walls, fences or other barriers to your site. Please note that if these conditions prevent us from making a delivery, you may incur a charge to cover our fuel and time.

Customers are required to confirm that the waste does not include general waste, hazardous materials, or more than 10% turf or grass. Confirming this helps avoid complications during the waste collection and processing stages.

To Be Checked
What is muckaway?
In the construction industry, a “muckaway” refers to the removal of soil and inert waste materials from a site using a Tipper or Grab Lorry. This service is essential for maintaining a clean and efficient worksite. “Muck” includes inert waste such as soil, sand, stone, clay, and similar materials. It does not cover general waste like wood or household rubbish.
How is the pricing structured for Muckaway services?
We charge per load or per trip, rather than by tonnage. This means whether you have a few tonnes or a full 16-tonne load, the price remains the same. Prices vary based on the type of material and the postcode group of the location.
What should I check before booking a Muckaway service?
- Site Access: Ensure there is adequate access for our 8×4 wheeled Grab Lorries, which require a minimum of 3m in width.
- Overhead Obstacles: Check for overhead cables or other potential obstructions near the site.
- Material Check: Verify the type of waste and ensure it does not include prohibited materials.
What are the limitations on the types of waste accepted?
We accept most types of inert waste but have specific guidelines regarding roots and turf:
- Roots should be no thicker than your finger.
- Turf and grass must constitute less than 10% of the load as it can block our processing machinery.
How can I prepare for the arrival of the Grab Lorry?
Ensure that the loading area is clear and accessible, confirm the type of waste being removed is as described, and check for any local restrictions that might affect the collection process.
What disclaimers do I need to be aware of?
Customers are required to confirm that the waste does not include general waste, hazardous materials, or more than 10% turf or grass. Confirming this helps avoid complications during the waste collection and processing stages.
