Muck Away Services FAQs

If you’re managing a construction site in Manchester, you’ve likely heard the term muck away. But what exactly does it involve, and when should you use it? At Braidwood, we’re proud to support sites across the region with professional, safe, and cost-effective muck away services. In this FAQ, we answer some of the most common questions our customers ask.

What is Muck Away?

Muck away refers to the removal of waste materials (mostly soil, rubble, or contaminated ground) from a construction site. These services are essential during groundworks, excavation, demolition, and site clearance.

What Types of Waste Do Muck Away Services Handle?

Our muck away services in Manchester handle three main categories:

  • Inert waste
    Soil, clay, sand, concrete, and bricks. These don’t decompose and can often be recycled.
  • Non-hazardous waste
    General construction waste like wood, plastic, and scrap metal.
  • Hazardous waste
    Materials that pose a risk to health or the environment. These may include contaminated soils or chemical residues.

We offer full classification and testing to ensure correct handling and disposal.
