Prime Waste Services supports utility contractors and groundworkers across Croydon (CR0, CR2 and CR7) with trench spoil removal and backfill deliveries. Our grab lorries load excavated spoil from roadside and footway trenches and bring in Type 1 MOT, sand and other bedding and backfill materials, often on the same visit.

Grab lorries suit utility work because they do not need to stay on the street. The lorry pulls up, loads, and leaves, keeping the working area clear and disruption short.

What we do for utility contractors

Support for groundworkers, driveway and basement contractors

The same service suits groundworkers installing drainage and new services for extensions, basement contractors diverting drains, and driveway contractors installing channel drains and soakaways. Croydon’s ground ranges from clay in the north, sands and gravels around the centre and chalk to the south and east, so we plan for spoil that can be wet and heavy.

What we cannot take

We do not accept asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals or liquids. Contaminated spoil needs separate arrangements, so tell us in advance if you suspect any.

Utility support across Croydon

We cover the whole borough, from Thornton Heath and Norbury in the north to Shirley, Addington and Selsdon in the east, plus the A23, A232 and A212 corridors. Our operating centre is in Croydon, so Croydon jobs are a short run from the yard.

Licensed, insured and documented

We hold Environment Agency waste carrier registration CBDU480663 (upper tier, carrier and dealer) and Goods Vehicle Operator Licence OK2066087. Our drivers are CPCS compliant, CSCS registered and DBS checked, we are fully insured, and a waste transfer note is issued for every load we take away.
