Muck Away in Cobham, Esher and Weybridge | Covering London and the Surrounding Surrey Area
Versatility is by far the biggest benefit to choosing local grab hire specialists. A major part of our day-to-day business is managing the needs of what we see as a diverse base of domestic and commercial clients. Our portfolio includes a substantial number of companies in the building and construction sector and these businesses rely heavily on our muck away service. This is a process used to remove spoil from earthworks or groundworks using a grab lorry.
Our fleet has traditional and mini grab lorries, and tipper trucks.
Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire mobilises muck away operations in the Cobham, Esher and Weybridge areas, and in all parts of London and Surrey.
You can use our grab hire service for the removal of topsoil, stone, hardcore and rubble so that the assigned workspace is prepared for the next level of development. Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire can remove inert or non-hazardous waste as part of a professional solution where our back-office team, and our qualified drivers and plant operators, are always on hand to advise you.
Importantly, we comply with all current government-led guidelines for muck away work, and with legislation enforced by the Environment Agency.
To ensure the smoothest service delivery, we can make a recommendation on what you need from our company if you send us a soil analysis report. If this isn’t possible, please remember to mention it when calling. Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire will happily come out to complete a soil analysis on your behalf.
Inert Waste
Earthworks spoil will generally consist of inert and non-inert waste. We collect inert waste, a material that doesn’t change biologically, chemically or physically if it goes to landfill, and which won’t have a negative effect on any other materials it comes into contact with. If you have sent us a soil analysis, or if you have asked us to perform one for you, we will use our findings to recommend the most suitable form of removal with the volume factored in.
Grab hire is at the heart of our muck away service.
We take collected spoil to licensed waste transfer stations in Cobham or the surrounding Esher and Weybridge areas, or elsewhere in the South East. Here, topsoil, stone, hardcore and rubble is processed. Most muck away waste is then recycled into what we refer to as secondary or recycled aggregates.
This reduces the need for freshly quarried materials.
Non-Hazardous Waste
While a muck away service will naturally focus more on uplifted spoil from the earthworks phase of a project, Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire can also remove building, construction, landscaping and demolition waste. To further protect the environment, we need to be vigilant over hazardous and non-hazardous waste. In our experience, we have found the List of Waste Regulations to be an excellent reference point for determining between the two waste types.
The List of Waste Regulations has two notable components.
The first of these components relates to paired codes, known as mirror entries, which tell us that waste could be either hazardous or non-hazardous. We test the composition of waste to provide clear differentiation between the two. All other non-hazardous waste is listed as such and doesn’t need testing.
Examples of non-hazardous muck away waste include:
- Clean Glass and Plastic
- Plastic Packaging
- Food Items and Waste
- Office Furniture
- Construction Debris
- Paper and Cardboard
Enabling Sites
The earthworks stage of a project happens immediately after a site has been cleared of brush, scrub and vegetation. Earthworks is best described as a bulk excavation and land preparation process where soil and rubble are taken away to enable the laying of foundations, or to get a landscaping project off to the best possible start. Wherever there is earth to be removed, be it in Cobham, Esher, Weybridge or the surrounding areas, the dependable team at Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire will be here to get the job done for you.
We remind you that muck away is one of several waste removal services we can provide to you with a traditional grab lorry or through mini grab hire.
Phoenix Grab & Plant Hire has a keen approach to environmental care, and we collaborate with local waste transfer stations to help them meet and exceed their 90% recycling targets. Muck away, like all other services from our company, is designed around preserving the planet for future generations.
