Reducing Your Cart Away Costs

A great deal of time and money is expended unnecessarily in the construction industry on waste. A lack of forward planning and limited understanding of all the available options at the early design stage, is one of the biggest causes of over expenditure.

So often on projects, vast sums of money are expended on waste disposal at the last minute.
A real challenge in the industry is the perception that a 'remediated site is a clean site'. But this is not always true.

A site could have been remediated (which is to reduce the overall risk the site poses to human health and the environment) but there may still be contaminated soils left on site.

The good news is that great technological strides have been made in the field of waste soil treatment, which translate into real financial savings for developers and contractors on their projects. Solutions are available to deal with 95% of your waste management disposal challenges.

Typical Hazardous Waste Disposal Cost:
£132.00/ton (£140.00 after April 2013)
Typical Cost for Treatment and Disposal:
£20.00/ton (£28.00 after April 2013)

(The above are examples of typical costs. All site costs are subject to site specific conditions and quotes for individual sites are required)

Dunton Environmental has made significant advances in the field of soils treatment and waste management. Using our technology would ensure that:
  • Most contaminated soils are reduced to an 'inert' level before disposal off site.
  • Any surplus soils could be reused on site as structural fill, topsoil or subsoil.
  • Any Japanese Knotweed is treated without the need for offsite disposal and within whatever time constraints applied to the project.
With Dunton Environmental's involvement you are assured of cost effective and 'green' solutions for your developments.

Dunton’s Technologies a Success in Plymouth!

Dunton Environmental Ltd has successfully decontaminated a site earmarked for residential development in the south-west. Through a combination of our unique land and water technologies the site was able to re-use contaminated materials on-site at levels that were acceptable to all stakeholders.
The works primarily comprised the use of our rapid Bio-Accelerator to enhance the bioremediation of organic pollutants and our Bio-H-Filter media to remove free phase and dissolved phase organic pollutants within the perched groundwater. The whole process was completed on time and within budget prompting a ‘great result’ from the Client.


As the sun begins to set on the era of dig and dump we are increasingly responding to requests to help our customers avoid the higher costs associated with landfill disposal costs. To find out how Dunton can save you money on projects please contact James Hill at our Head Office today on 0121 356 4360.
