Questions from the scale house

What is Table 3 soil?

Table 3 is the trade's name for soil that meets Ontario's full depth standards for sites with non-potable ground water. For soil leaving a site, the current standard is Table 3.1 of the Excess Soil Quality Standards. If your report says the soil meets Table 3.1, both locations can take it. More on Table 3 soil.

Do you take contaminated soil?

Both locations take non-hazardous soil up to Table 3.1. For soil above Table 3.1, call us with your results before you plan the haul. Hazardous waste is refused. Where the line sits.

What do you need before the first load?

Your lab certificates and the source site details. We review every source site before any soil arrives. What to send.

How long does approval take?

Send everything on the list at once. Missing documents are what slow a review down.

What does it cost?

Rates are per tonne and depend on soil quality and volume. Send your results or call for a rate. What moves the price.

Does the 2027 landfill rule change where my soil can go?

From January 1, 2027, soil that meets Table 2.1 residential, parkland and institutional standards, or cleaner, can no longer be deposited at an Ontario landfill or dump, with limited exceptions. Both locations take Table 1 and Table 2.1 soil. The rule in plain terms.

Do you take wet soil?

Yes, with a slump test result showing it is solid. Liquid soil or slurry has to pass the test before it comes in. Call first.

Where can I take Table 3 soil in Toronto or the GTA?

To either of our locations: 633 Coronation Drive in Scarborough or 18 Namco Road in Etobicoke. Send your lab results first and we confirm in writing. Find the location that is usually closer.

Do you take Table 3 soil from outside the GTA?

Yes. Both locations take Table 1, 2.1 and 3.1 soil from anywhere in Ontario. Table 3 soil disposal in Ontario.

Can I dump dirt or fill at your locations?
