Disposal bin rentals facilitate the managment, clean up, and disposal of waste for any type of contstruction project from professional construction to do-it-yourself home renovations, or anything in between. Understanding how to properly manage waste materials can improve organization, completion, and save the costs of disposal, however clean fill waste can be difficult to understand especially if you are new to using a bin rental service. 

What is Clean Fill? 

Clean fill is waste material that consists of dirt, soil, gravel, brick, rubble, cement, or sometimes asphalt. Clean fill dirt is called “clean” because it is considered environmentally friendly because the categorized materials can be easily recycled and reused for future construction projects. 

What Clean Fill is Not

Clean fill cannot include contaminants such as chemical solutions, household wastes like rubber, batteries or electronic devices, or biological waste including paper, metals, or fiberglass. Disposal bin rentals for clean fill should not contain any materials  toxic to humans or other animals. 

Asphalt  

Asphalt may be accepted as clean fill depending only if it has not been mixed with contaminants. If you’re not sure what to put in your bin rental, the Binworks team is happy to help and explain the best way to sort or dispose of your waste. 

How to Dispose of Clean Fill

Depending on the amount of clean fill waste you’ve accumulated over the duration of your construction project, different types of clean fill should be isolated by individual material. Concrete and asphalt can typically be put in the same bin and the same goes for dirt and sod.
