Dirt out. Site clean.
Spoil loaded, hauled and tipped — every load to a licensed NSW EPA-approved receiver.
Dirt removal, spoil cartage and muck-out in Bligh Park, Hawkesbury. 1980s residential estate south of Windsor. The river towns are well-connected to major tips. Alluvial spoil from pool digs and footings, generally classified as VENM or ENM.
Owner-operated by Jesse Madden. Kenworth truck-and-dog, tip-truck and tandem for any volume. Every load docketed, EPA-licensed disposal. Tip fees at cost.
Tell us volume, material, and access. We'll come back with a per-load fixed price.
Dirt removal in the Hawkesbury usually means sandstone spoil from the ridges or alluvial muck from the river flats. We cart to licensed tips and keep every weighbridge docket on file. The river towns are well-connected to major tips. Alluvial spoil from pool digs and footings, generally classified as VENM or ENM.
Every load goes to a NSW EPA-licensed facility. We keep the weighbridge dockets and give you copies. If the council asks, your paperwork is right.
We don't mark up tip fees. What we pay is what you pay, with the docket to prove it. You pay for cartage and our time — the levy is passed through.
Got clean fill? We might have a job that needs it. Need clean fill? We might have a job generating it. When it lines up, both sides save on levy and cartage.
Combined with an excavation job, we dig and cart in one movement. No double-handling, no spoil piles sitting around drying out.
VENM, ENM, General Solid Waste, Asbestos-impacted — these categories matter. Misclassified material costs everyone later. We classify correctly the first time.
Invoices, weighbridge dockets, VENM certification where needed. All kept on file for seven years. If you're on a development consent that requires disposal records, we've got them.
If it came out of the ground, we'll put it on the truck and get it to the right disposal point.
Virgin excavated material — sandstone, clay, topsoil. Best price. Often re-used as fill on another job before it hits a tip.
Mixed excavated material with minor impurities. Tipped as General Solid Waste at licensed facility.
Hydrocarbons, heavy metals, acid sulphate. Classified, tested if needed, hauled to licensed receivers. Higher levy.
Old footings, broken slabs, driveway demo, retaining-wall remains. Goes to recyclers where available — cheaper than landfill.
Sandstone rubble from rock breaking, excavated boulders, natural rock. Often usable as fill or feature landscaping.
Tree stumps, root balls, cleared vegetation. Tipped at green-waste transfer stations where it's mulched.
Demolition waste, form-work timber, steel offcuts. Sorted on-site where practical; otherwise general waste.
We don't handle bonded or friable asbestos directly. We coordinate with a licensed asbestos remover and pick up the job after they've done theirs.
Three levers: volume, material type, and distance to the right tip. Here's how they work.
Priced per cubic metre of compacted spoil. A medium tipper holds roughly 6–8 m³. Smaller loads are per-truck flat; bigger jobs are per-m³.
Rule of thumb: a swimming-pool dig is usually 30–80 m³.
Clean fill (VENM) is cheapest — receiving sites often take it free or at reduced rates. Contaminated material carries a higher NSW EPA levy.
Levy can be $80–$180+/tonne depending on category.
Closer tip = faster turnaround = more loads per day = cheaper per m³. We use the nearest licensed facility that can take your material type.
Hawkesbury-to-Eastern-Creek is a common run for mixed waste.
If your soil is clean VENM and we've got another Hawkesbury job that needs fill (a pad, a batter, a driveway build-up), we can match you up. You avoid tip fees entirely, the other site avoids buying fill. Win-win — and better than everything going to landfill.
It's not always possible. But when the jobs line up, we'll tell you.
Spoil loaded, hauled and tipped — every load to a licensed NSW EPA-approved receiver.
What is it? Clean fill or mixed? Testing if needed. Classification locked in before we book tip.
Can the tipper reach the pile? Driveway strength, overhead clearance, turning circle. If access is tight we use a shuttle machine.
Quoted per load or per m³ depending on volume. Tip fees shown separately at cost.
Loads run to the licensed receiver. Weighbridge dockets kept for every trip.
Site swept where the pile was. Driveway cleaned. No muddy tracks left on the road.
Weighbridge receipts, VENM certification if applicable, invoice. All on file for seven years.
Everything Madden Earthworks offers in Bligh Park and Hawkesbury.
Bligh Park (2756) is a 1980s residential estate south of Windsor in the Hawkesbury LGA. The typical ground conditions here are flat to gently sloped, clay, suburban lots.
The river towns are well-connected to major tips. Alluvial spoil from pool digs and footings, generally classified as VENM or ENM.
We also service nearby South Windsor, Windsor, McGraths Hill for dirt removal. Same operator, same rates — call Jesse for a site walk.
Spoil out, fill in — across the Hawkesbury. Kenworth truck-and-dog, tip-truck and tandem work, same operator running the job from dig to tip.
Cross-LGA cartage runs considered. For a cartage quote anywhere in Hawkesbury, call Jesse.
Price depends on three things: volume in cubic metres, soil classification (clean fill, general solid waste, or contaminated), and distance to the licensed tip. Clean fill is cheapest because receiving sites often take it free or at reduced cost. Contaminated soil costs more because of tip fees and handling. Most residential jobs are quoted as a per-load fixed price.
Clean fill from excavation, general mixed soil, contaminated soil (acid sulphate, hydrocarbons, asbestos — by special arrangement), concrete and rubble, rock, and green waste. If you've got it, we can probably shift it. Asbestos-bonded material needs licensed asbestos removers — we coordinate but don't handle direct.
Usually inside a week for a booked job. Same-day or next-day for emergency storm clean-ups where we have capacity. Long-haul cartage (outside the Hawkesbury) takes a bit more scheduling because of float time.
Both. Standalone dirt removal is fine — you've already dug it, we'll cart it away. Or combined with an excavation job where we dig and cart in one movement (the combo rate is better value that way).
Clean fill is virgin excavated material with no foreign matter — sandstone, clay, natural topsoil. It's VENM (Virgin Excavated Natural Material) under NSW EPA rules. Contaminated is anything with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, acid sulphate, asbestos, or construction waste mixed in. Contaminated costs more because receiving sites charge more and it needs to be hauled to licensed facilities.
Yes. If we've got a clean-fill job going on one Hawkesbury block and another site needs fill for a pad or batter, we can match them up and save both parties on tip fees. Cheaper for the supplier, cheaper for the receiver.
Regularly. Old footings, broken slabs, retaining wall demo, driveway rubble. Concrete goes to recyclers where available (cheaper than tipping). Mixed concrete-and-dirt has to be sorted or charged at general waste rates.
Medium-rigid tippers suited to residential access, plus combo access to larger trucks when volume justifies. A typical medium tipper holds around 6–8 cubic metres of compacted spoil. We'll recommend whichever combo gets your site clean in the fewest trips.
Yes. On tight blocks where a full tipper can't reach the spoil pile, we'll shuttle with a mini and dingo, or a bobcat, from the back of the block to the truck. Adds a bit to the job but keeps access clean.
Yes. Stumps get dug out with the machine, green waste gets loaded into the tipper, all of it goes to a green-waste transfer station. Often bundled with a land-clearing job where we're already on site.
Tell us volume and material. We'll come back with a fixed per-load price — tip fees at cost.
