Following the recent budget, according to HM Treasury, the standard rate of disposing waste in landfill will increase to £126.15/tonne from April 2025, up by £22.45 from 2024’s rate of £103.70. The lower rate of landfill tax (for inert waste such as construction rubble and natural subsoil) will also rise from £3.30 to £4.05, representing a 22.7 per cent increase.
This further reinforces the need for proactive planning of materials management, technically robust waste classification testing and adoption of sustainable soil remediation techniques. Soilfix routinely provides Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to its valued clients and consultant partners to help mitigate the financial impact of landfill tax charges whilst diverting soils and aggregates from landfill.
