What is Muck Away?

Muck away, also referred to as muckaway, refers to the process of removing waste and debris generated during the initial stages of construction or groundwork on a construction site. It is sometimes called muck shift or cartaway and typically involves getting rid of inert waste. Inert waste comprises materials that do not undergo chemical or biological reactions and, as a result, do not decompose.

There are various materials classified as inert waste in muck away, with the most prevalent examples being:

  1. Concrete
  2. Rubble
  3. Cement
  4. Construction waste

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does muck away go?

After collecting muck away for removal, it typically heads to a nearby facility for sorting and separation. Depending on the type of muck away waste, it may undergo further processing, treatment if necessary, and conversion into aggregate for reuse in future construction projects. Hazardous muck away waste must be treated to eliminate harmful properties before disposal, and it should not end up in landfills due to its non-degradable nature.

What is non-hazardous muck away?

Non-hazardous muck away refers to construction waste generated during groundwork processes that do not qualify as inert waste and do not possess any hazardous properties. This category includes materials like soils, silt, and non-hazardous sludge. Proper storage, removal, and disposal procedures are necessary for these materials, which differ from those applied to inert and hazardous muck away waste.

What is muck shift?

Muck shift is a synonym for muck away and can be used interchangeably. It denotes the process of removing significant quantities of soil, rocks, and other materials during construction, demolition, and civil engineering projects.
