    Can anyone tell me if building rubble is classified as waste? The stuff I'm looking at has brick, cement, painted wall, tiles, fibre wool, etc.
    Thanks

    What's the context? And how much are you talking about?

    If you're looking to dump it, pay for a skip and have it taken away.

    In terms of Waste Acceptance Criteria, it's probably okay

    Yes it classified as C&D waste. Construction and demolition. There are usually permitted sites that take this free. Your local authority Environment Sect keep an up to date registrar. It's usually taken in free as it's wanted for infill which is usually where the permit is for.

    Thanks-was wondering how clean it had to be-I suppose broken concrete would be less dangerous than older concretes or rubble with paint on it. Was going to use as a base for a road on the land and worried about pollution it might cause.

    That mixture of materials, excluding the fibre wool would probably be assigned the EWC (European Waste Catalogue) No. 17 01 07, meaning it doesn't contain any dangerous substances, while the insulating material would probably be assigned as 17 06 04 (again non-haz, assuming no asbestos etc.).

    But with regard to your intention to use this as fill for a road etc., then it would require some sort of permission, again from the Env section of your local authority.

    But usually the Local Authoritie's website will list the facilities available in your County where you can bring this type of material.
