Q. Can you arrange delivery?

A. We sure can. We have a range of subcontractors available to deliver anything from 0.5 to 17m3 in one load. Depending on the workload we can usually arrange for a same day delivery, but to avoid problems it generally pays to book in the day before you require it.

Delivery charge is dependent on the size of the truck required and how far you are from our location. Currently within the urban West Auckland area, expect to pay somewhere around $60 - $100.00 + gst for a delivery. Delivery outside that area is also available.

Q. Do you accept other types of hardfill for crushing?

A. Brick, asphalt, cobbles etc are ok, but we can’t accept anything with wood, dirt or other contaminants. Obviously anything that we can’t turn into usable product is not acceptable.

Q. What about steel reinforcing in my concrete?

A. Steel is no problem. Magnetic separators remove the steel, which is then sent for recycling.

Q. What sort of soil do you accept?

A. Pretty much any type is ok. A small amount of grass content is ok, but it does need to be kept as clean as possible. We can’t do anything with clay or mud, so keep that out.

Q. Do you accept soil tipping all year round?

A. No. Unfortunately soil becomes difficult to handle and process during the winter months so we cease operations. This is generally from June until October.

Q. How come your prices are so competitive?

A. As we charge tip fees for customers to dump their waste concrete and soil, it enables us to keep the prices of outgoing products down. Being a recycling facility, it also ensures a steady flow of product coming in and going out.

Q. Do you generate any waste that has to be dumped at a landfill?

A. Approx once every two months we send a 2m3 skip of rubbish to a licensed refuse station. Hopefully it is recycled for plastics etc. Other than that, everything we accept is reprocessed into saleable product. We estimate that we recycle in excess of 99% of tipped product.

Q. Do you have someone that can call around and offer advice?

A. Yes. We can arrange for someone to call around at a convenient time and discuss your requirements. The service is free, so don’t be shy of using it. info@westernaggregates.co.nz

We also have a contact list for reputable contractors that may also be of assistance.

Q. My resource consent says I have to specify where I am tipping my waste concrete or soil. Can I specify Western Aggregates & Soil Ltd?

A. Yes. We are a licensed waste management facility.
