# We don't just classify the soil; we use the classification to find the lowest-cost compliant solution

![Waste-classification- WM3](https://www.soilsmanagement.co.uk/hubfs/Waste-classification-%20WM3.jpg "Waste-classification- WM3")

## **Why use Soils Management for your waste assessment?**

Correctly classifying excavated soil can have a significant impact on both project cost and regulatory compliance. Soils Management provides independent waste assessments in accordance with WM3 guidance, helping establish whether soils are hazardous or non-hazardous and identifying the appropriate waste classification.

Our approach goes beyond simply reviewing laboratory results. We combine waste-classification expertise with practical knowledge of soil treatment, recovery and disposal markets to understand what the classification means for your project.

This can prevent soils being unnecessarily classified as hazardous waste, identify opportunities to segregate different soil types, reduce unnecessary laboratory testing and open up lower-cost treatment, recovery or disposal options.

By undertaking the assessment early, we can also identify potential waste-management issues before excavation begins, reducing the risk of rejected loads, unexpected costs and programme delays.

**The result is a technically robust, auditable waste assessment designed to provide regulatory confidence while helping you achieve the lowest-cost compliant solution for your soils.**
