Uncompromising Standards
Experts in Environmental Compliance
In an industry rife with fly-tipping and grey areas, ABM Road Planings stands as a fortress of compliance. We don't just move waste; we manage liability.
Environment Agency Vetting
Every tip location is rigorously checked against Environment Agency databases. We verify Environmental Permits and U1 Exemptions before a single wheel turns, ensuring your material never ends up where it shouldn't.
FORS Accreditation
We hold the highest standard in fleet operation. FORS Accreditation isn't just a badge; it's a commitment to safety, efficiency, and environmental protection that qualifies us for the UK's most demanding sites.
WAMITAB Certified
We have a WAMITAB holder on staff, ensuring expert oversight on the environmental side of our operations. This demonstrates our technical competence in managing waste and strict adherence to environmental regulations.
Identification & Testing
We utilize PAK Marker Spray for immediate site assessments and coordinate full GC-MS Laboratory Analysis to definitively classify material as Hazardous (Coal Tar) or Non-Hazardous.
Consignment Documentation
Full management of Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes (HWCN). We ensure every load is tracked, coded correctly (EWC 17 03 01*), and declared to the Environment Agency.
Licensed Disposal
We hold direct accounts with authorized thermal treatment facilities and hazardous waste landfills, ensuring safe, legal disposal that removes liability from your project.
Hazardous Waste Management
Tar Bound Material Specialists
Dealing with Coal Tar (AHT) requires more than just a truck. It requires a licensed partner who understands the legal intricacies of hazardous waste movement.
Misclassification or illegal disposal of tar-bound planings carries severe penalties. ABM provides a complete "Cradle-to-Grave" solution, protecting your company from environmental liability.
Strict Compliance Warning:Road planings containing Coal Tar are classified as Hazardous Waste (EWC 17 03 01*). They must not be reused in unbound applications or sent to standard landfills.

We don't just provide trucks; we manage the entire material lifecycle. From site assessment to final recycling, we take the headache out of disposal.
Site Assessment & Tip Sourcing
We analyze your material (clean vs. tar-bound) and identify the nearest authorized facility.
Route Optimization
We calculate the optimal number of wagons needed based on cycle times to ensure zero downtime.
Execution & Documentation
Our fleet executes the job while our back-office generates all required EA compliance paperwork.
