    I don't remove any waste unless costed into the job. I'd always try and avoid taking away soil. Do you habe borders you coule spread it out on?

    Any new builds within reasonable distance, as you could freecycle the soil & many gardeners would be glad of real soil?
    Or just figure a modest raised bed & grow spuds?

    I am using a skip to put all the soil I dont need but if you really do not want it either put it in rubble sacks and take it to the pit or if it is not a lot you could get a hippobag I think it is called from wickes, you fill it and leave the bag outside your property and they company will come and collect it, it works out cheaper if there is little stuff to throw away.
