Soils & Dredgings

Recycling spoil and dredged materials to improve land

We treat and recycle soils and dredgings, benefiting land, whilst meeting environmental standards.

4R Recycling has a long history in recycling dredgings to land, including marine and harbour dredgings, freshwater dredgings and material dredged from settlement and water treatment lagoons.

 

We carry this work out across the UK, for regular customers and for one-off projects. Our services can include the operational work, storage and transport, spreading and all the necessary paperwork to gain regulatory approvals prior to starting works.

 

Dredgings are a great source of mineral and often organic matter and have many benefits to heavily worked or disturbed soils. Our 4R Environmental Consultants will also look for any particular issues with specific dredgings, such as potential contaminants that may be present and complete a full risk assessment on each individual material before operational projects commence.

 

Ideal for landowners, local authorities or developers wanting to restore disturbed land or enhance agricultural soils, we provide efficient, compliant solutions for regular customers or one-off projects, to turn spoil into value.

 

Our teams can also find suitable and appropriately permitted outlets for a range of waste soils, spoils and substrates, including full site characterisation and delineated recovery to soil hospitals where required.
