The Rising Cost of Waste: Understanding the Landfill Tax Impact
If you're planning demolition or asbestos removal work in the UK, you need to be aware of recent changes impacting project costs. In April 2024, the UK Government implemented a significant increase in Landfill Tax rates, and this has a direct knock-on effect on the cost of disposing of waste – particularly hazardous waste like asbestos.
What is Landfill Tax?
Landfill Tax is a tax levied on waste disposed of at landfill sites. Its aim is to encourage waste reduction and the adoption of more environmentally friendly alternatives like recycling and recovery. However, for materials like asbestos that require specialised, secure landfill disposal, this tax is an unavoidable component of the cost.
How the April 2024 Increase Affects You
The standard rate of Landfill Tax, which applies to hazardous waste such as asbestos, saw a notable rise effective from April 1st, 2024. Waste operators pass this increased tax directly onto their customers. Consequently:
Asbestos Disposal Costs: Have increased significantly.
Demolition Projects: Costs rise, especially where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present and require disposal.
Overall Project Budgets: Need to account for these higher disposal fees.
