Understanding Mayo Stone’s Muck Away Service…

People away from the construction are unlikely to be familiar with the term muck away.

Basically, the service involves removing vast quantities of waste. The type of waste we are referring to is based in locations usually such as building or construction sites. The service is often required in the early phases of a project, usually referred to as a the groundworks phase. This is because ground excavation involves the removal of topsoil, vegetation or many other types of material. This process therefore takes place in order to prepare the foundation of the structure(s) or site.

This blog will therefore briefly explain the service and what it consists of.

What classes as muck away? 

Muck away waste builds up very easily on construction sites, as a great deal of groundwork is often carried out.

What to expect from a muck away job?

Firstly, the waste producer needs to classify their waste to determine if it has any hazardous properties, usually physical and chemical testing, not WAC!

What are the different types of Muck material?

Hazardous muck – EWC 17.05.03*

This can be classed as waste that has properties which make it potentially harmful to human and environmental health. This kind of muck way can be done for example when clearing a petrol station.

Non-hazardous muck – EWC 17.05.04

This may include a collection of various waste products that are regarded as not harmful to the environment or human life.
