Why purity prices the can

A loaded can reads as one colour from the street, because the eye averages a mosaic. Clean concrete reads as one grey. A mixed can reads as mud.

The gate charges the same way. Past the published threshold there is nothing left worth separating, so the whole can is re-graded to £186.00.

Mixed C&D

Everything else, and everything that failed a spec above.

£186.00 per tonne

There is no purity specification, so there is nothing to contaminate. Picked on the line for what can be pulled, residue to energy recovery.

Left, the year averaged as a mosaic — #948774, the colour on your invoice. Right, the same year averaged as a glaze: darker, and wrong by ΔE76 8.34. Both, at size

One mixed C&D can, loaded exactly as badly

As specified £186.00
In the can £186.00£186.00£186.00£186.00£186.00
Mixed C&D £186.00

Mixed C&D has no purity specification, so there is nothing here for an item to break.

  1. A strip-out, off the floor no spec
  2. The subsoil from the same site no spec
  3. Fence posts and shuttering ply no spec
  4. The hedge that was in the way no spec
  5. One skip bag of packaging no spec

Sizes and weight limits

The cap is on weight, not volume. A 40 fills its tonnage at about a third full.

12 yd Maxi skip 4.0 t 3.6 × 1.8 m Rigid 18-tonne, 4 m clear width
20 yd Roll-on / roll-off 8.0 t 6.0 × 2.4 m Hook loader, 5 m clear width, 12 m run-off
30 yd Roll-on / roll-off 10.0 t 6.0 × 2.4 m Hook loader, 5 m clear width, 12 m run-off

Densities by stream, and what each size holds

How it works

  1. Tell us the stream and the size. If you do not know the stream, describe the job.
  2. We drop. A hook loader needs the run-off clear; a maxi skip does not.
  3. You load. Keep the stream clean and the rate holds.
  4. We weigh at the gate, and the ticket is the invoice.
