Understanding Toon Materials’ 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 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. These types of waste usually fall under one of the following:

  • Asphalt

  • Rubble
  • Concrete
  • Insulation
  • Bricks
  • Topsoil
  • Cement

What are the different types of Muck material?

Inert muck

This is classified as a form of waste that has not gone through any chemical or physical changes so much less likely to impact any other matter that it comes into contact with. This includes brick, concrete, hardcore soil, subsoil and much more..

Hazardous muck

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.
