Contaminated Land
Hazardous Waste Management for the Contaminated Land and Remediation
Simply Waste Consultants supports remediation contractors, environmental consultants, and developers across England, Scotland, and Wales with compliant disposal of contaminated arisings.
Brownfield redevelopment and land remediation generate complex waste requiring accurate classification—we ensure soils, waters, and residues are characterised and disposed of correctly.
Contaminated Land Waste Streams We Handle
Remediation projects produce variable, often heavily contaminated waste requiring expert assessment. Our service covers:
Hydrocarbon-contaminated soils
Heavy-metal contaminated soils
Asbestos-contaminated soils (specialist handling)
Contaminated groundwater and leachate
Drilling and excavation arisings
Treatment process residues and sludges
Site investigation and laboratory samples
Classification and Compliance Support
Contaminated land waste demands rigorous characterisation—classification determines whether material is hazardous, non-hazardous, or inert, and which facilities can accept it.
Getting this wrong inflates disposal costs and risks rejection at the gate. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, interpreting analytical data to assign correct codes and disposal routes.
We provide complete compliance support including:
WM3 hazardous waste assessment
WAC testing and landfill classification
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
EWC and HP code determination
Notifications to Environment Agency, SEPA, and NRW
Collection and Transport
We coordinate collection through our network of licensed, specialist hauliers, including bulk tankers, tipping trailers, and vacuum tankers for soils, waters, and sludges across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Transport is matched to material type and site access.
Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste, plus multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load and bulk haulage for excavated soils and contaminated waters.
Our specialist network supports phased remediation programmes, large-scale soil removal, and time-critical collections, with emergency response available for spillages and unexpected contamination encountered during groundworks.
