What matters for waste & environmental in Perth
Asking a WA removalist for a controlled waste tracking form is the wrong question. Regulation 3(5) of the Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 excludes asbestos from the carrier licence and tracking regime, so there is no tracking form and no quantity threshold for asbestos transport in WA.

Section 49A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 catches the person who causes or allows waste to be discharged or abandoned, not just the driver who tips it. The maximum is $62,500 for an individual and $125,000 for a body corporate, and it goes to court because dumping is not an on-the-spot offence in WA.

Contaminated Soil Removal & Disposal in Perth, FAQs
Why does contaminated soil cost so much to remove?
The soil has to be sampled and classified first, then carted by a licensed transporter to a facility licensed for that classification. Disposal gate fees rise steeply with the classification, so the sampling that sets it is worth doing properly.
Can contaminated soil be treated instead of dumped?
Often yes. Soil washing, bioremediation and on-site containment can be cheaper than landfill for large volumes, and a consultant will compare the options against the disposal cost before you commit.
How many businesses will contact me?
Up to 5 local businesses can pick up your request. You compare their quotes and choose, there's no obligation to go ahead with any of them.
Is it free to get quotes?
Yes. Getting quotes through Blue Collar News Services is completely free for you. The businesses pay us; you never do.
