At AWN Consulting, we provide expert soil waste classification services to support organisations in managing soil and related materials in compliance with environmental regulations. These services are essential for assessing and categorising soil waste based on its potential environmental risks, ensuring it is handled, transported, and disposed of responsibly.
Our soil waste classification process focuses on identifying contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, or hazardous substances and determining their concentrations within the soil. This enables us to assign the appropriate waste classification code, which dictates the specific handling and disposal requirements for the material.
AWN’s team of qualified environmental consultants conducts comprehensive soil waste assessments, including sampling, laboratory analysis, and comparison of results against established regulatory thresholds. By adhering to stringent regulatory criteria, we ensure soil waste is managed in a way that minimises environmental harm and protects public health.
The classification outcomes determine whether the soil waste is categorised as non-hazardous, hazardous, or inert. This classification directly impacts the subsequent management, including selection of treatment facilities or landfill sites, transportation methods, and disposal procedures.
Our soil waste classification services are particularly valuable for construction, land development, and remediation projects, as well as waste management companies. Accurate classification prevents legal and environmental risks, including potential fines and reputational damage, while ensuring compliance with Irish and UK waste management regulations.
By partnering with AWN, organisations can minimise environmental impacts, adopt responsible waste management practices, and make informed decisions, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship.
