Contaminated Soil & Hazardous Waste Removal
South Wales has a rich industrial heritage, which means many development sites encounter contaminated land requiring specialist handling. We're fully licensed to remove and dispose of contaminated soils including those affected by industrial pollutants, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other hazardous substances. Our team is trained in contaminated land protocols and works closely with environmental consultants and regulators to ensure safe, compliant remediation.
Common contamination scenarios we handle include former industrial sites, old petrol stations, chemical works, steelworks land, coal mining areas, and brownfield developments. We provide risk assessments, proper waste classification, specialized containment during transport, and disposal at appropriately licensed facilities.
