Clean Fill
Factual Definition of Clean Fill
Clean fill is a category of inert waste that is completely free of biological, chemical, hazardous or combustible contaminants. This material consists of raw, stable compounds that do not decompose, leach toxic chemicals into the water table or produce harmful gasses over time. Dirt, sand, gravel, concrete and brick can all be clean fill when they are carefully separated from other types of waste. A common synonym is inert fill.
How Clean Fill Is Used in the Waste Industry
In the waste industry, clean fill refers to a regulated material stream that requires strict source separation. Mixing it with general debris downgrades the load to mixed trash. Because of its weight, renters often use small roll off containers to stay within highway limits. These loads bypass landfills and go to recycling facilities, where they're processed into fresh aggregate or road base material, aiding companies in their waste diversion goals.
