Overview

Soil, rubble and hardcore includes bricks, blocks, slates, tiles, rubble, paving slabs, concrete, gravel, tarmac, stones, soil, sand, and sanitary ware (ceramic toilets, sinks, pedestals etc)[1]. In terms of EWC references further detail is expanded in Inert Waste.

The large majority of this material is the result of construction and demolition and mining and quarrying, with household waste representing a reletively small tonnage in comparison.

Macro Tonnages

The most recent information published by DEFRA [2] [3]identifies a number of categories that include soil, rubble and hardcore. These include:

Reported by DEFRA as Generated in 2016 tonnes
'mineral waste from construction and demolition' 63,618,634
'other mineral wastes' 17,501,418
'mineral waste from waste treatment & stabilized waste' 45,584
'soils' 58,668,341

In all cases these categories exclude any tonnage reported originating from households.

This means that the soil, rubble and hardcore reported by local authorities is reported under a grouped reporting category in the DEFRA digest figures, most likely as part of the larger tonnage of 'household and similar waste' category that totaled 15,108,682 tonnes of household category tonnage alone in the UK in 2016 (also summarized in the page on UK Waste Tonnage.

The macro numbers above therefore do not breakdown the component elements of soil, rubble and hardcore in respect of household waste, but the following headers in the page are the materials as handled by local authorities and as reported through WasteDataFlow.
