Two tests decide it
TCLP
The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure shows whether soil is hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is refused at both locations.
Slump test
A slump test shows whether wet soil counts as a solid or a liquid. Wet loads need one. Liquid soil or slurry has to pass the test before it comes in. Call first.
Before you call
Have your lab certificates in front of you. The soil checker gives you an answer in three questions.
Questions
My soil has fuel in it. Will you take it?
Call first with your lab results. We tell you whether it can come to us and to which location.
What makes soil hazardous waste?
A leachate test called TCLP decides it. Hazardous waste is refused at both locations.
Where does the soil go after your yard?
Both sites are transfer sites. Soil leaves for reuse sites or disposal sites that are approved to take it.
Send your lab results. Get a written answer.
Tell us about the soil and where it is coming from. We check it against our approvals before a truck is loaded.
