Reliable and sustainable construction waste management
For any building project—whether construction or demolition—the generation of waste like concrete, glass, and metal is inevitable. Businesses are legally required to ensure that all waste is stored, collected, and disposed of safely, so effective waste management is crucial for every project.
Hills Waste Solutions work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to major house builders, to provide total waste management services for construction and demolition. Our local expertise in construction waste management helps you manage waste efficiently, stay compliant with relevant regulations, and fulfil obligations like hazardous waste disposal.

What is classified as construction and demolition waste?
To maximise recycling, it is essential to use the appropriate bins, skips, or containers for various waste types. Construction and demolition waste, also called C&D waste, includes items such as rubble, brick, and mixed demolition materials.
The following materials are suitable for our construction waste collections:
Rubble
Brick
Hardcore
Ceramics and tiles
Concrete
Wood
Plastics and plastic wrap
Metals
Paper and cardboard
Non-contaminated, clean subsoil and stone (naturally occurring)
Non-hazardous waste
Roof felt
Non-hazardous roof sheets
Proper sorting ensures efficient waste recovery, allowing us to recycle as much material as possible.
Certain items cannot be included in our standard C&D waste collections and require special handling.
This includes:
Fridges and freezers
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Asbestos
Tyres
Batteries
Fluorescent tubes
Paints (including paint tins and residue)
Aerosols and gas canisters
Topsoil
Liquids and oils
Contaminated soil
Black bag waste
Bulky waste (such as soft furnishings and mattresses)
Plasterboard
If your project includes any of these materials, we can provide disposal solutions. Please contact our customer support team at 0808 145 4533 for more information or a tailored quote.
Hardcore demolition waste often contains concrete rubble, bricks and soil which can be recycled and typically used as a road base for vehicle access in licensed areas, such as landfill cells, following thorough screening.
C&D waste is processed at licensed recycling facilities where recyclable materials (e.g., wood, metals, bricks, hardcore) are sorted out and recycled. Non-recyclable materials are sent to landfill. Final screenings capture smaller waste fractions and ensure any recyclable hardcore is repurposed.
The legal responsibility for disposing of construction waste rests with the business generating it. If your company is involved in construction or demolition, it is required by law to ensure all waste is safely removed and properly disposed of.
