How to dispose of unwanted soil
When you’re completing a gardening or renovation project, you often end up with excess soil. When soil gets wet, it can become more hassle to work with and could result in a lot of mess and take up unwanted space in your garden. However, dumping the soil anywhere you see fit is not an option - it is crucial to dispose of unwanted soil safely and legally. Read on to learn about some of the most common ways to dispose of your unwanted soil.
Use a waste clearance service
You could organise for a waste clearance service to come and collect your soil and garden waste. When choosing a waste clearance company for a garden waste collection, they must be licensed to remove waste and also licensed with the Environment Agency.
Hire a skip
For garden waste removal, you could also consider hiring a skip providing you have the space and budget to do so. This way, you can load up your unwanted soil at a time convenient to you. Once you have filled a skip with soil, it will then be disposed of safely.
At W&S Recycling we offer a wide variety of skip sizes that could be used for your garden waste clearance — however much soil you need to get rid of. Take a look at our skip hire service and get in touch with us on 01202 675564
Once you have chosen which skip size would suit you best, we will drop off the skip and arrange collection when required to dispose of your waste in an environmentally friendly way.
Use it for a DIY project
If you have a good amount of soil, you could create an upcycling or DIY project with it. For example, you could use the soil as a base for a flowerbed or inside small garden pots to plant things.
Advertise it locally
Listing your unwanted soil online is a good way to get rid of unwated soil, free of charge and efficiently. There are any contractors and DIYers out there that could use some soil for their projects. You could list your soil as available for free pickup or offer to deliver the soil yourself, if you really need to get it off your hands.
