Landfill prices are likely to rise significantly

There is a new mantle regulation in the pipeline that is supposed to affect the recycling of construction debris as well as the disposal of excavation material.

The example calculation of a lobby association: an earth excavation for a typical basement single-family house of around 500 cubic meters, which would correspond to 850 tons. With a normal contamination of the excavated soil, disposal of the earth excavation would currently have to be calculated at an average between 30,600 euros and 52,700 euros depending on the region.

These gross prices consist of the costs for the "tipping fees" of the landfill, mostly 22 to 48 euros per ton, and the transport costs, which the association states as 14 euros per ton.

"In the future, builders of a single-family house will have to spend between 40,000 and 80,000 euros more to properly dispose of the excavation for foundations, basements, and the corresponding connecting lines," according to Schubert-Raab, Vice President of the Central Association of the German Construction Industry.

The reason is, among others, a lack of capacity at the landfills due to stricter requirements.

Now I can say what many said to me here 4 years ago when I started.

*I'm really glad that I've finished building*

Now the most difficult position to calculate in the entire house construction is becoming even more expensive. Man man man...

...and a basement is even more priceless o_O

Intense. Unfortunately, this will probably lead to an increase in illegal disposal. Farmers, forestry companies, and municipalities better brace themselves...

We are back to my statement, the Greens do not need to ban the single-family house, the back door through cost increases makes it much more elegant. And the rich Green voters in Munich Schwabing do not care about these few peanuts anyway.

Hi,

please define illegal for me.
If I dump and spread soil on my own land, it probably doesn’t concern anyone, does it?

Sometimes it’s treated as if excavated material is pure poison. It comes from the ground, and if it is dumped somewhere else, it is no more poisonous than before.
