EWC Code
17 01 07 mixtures of concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics other than those mentioned in 17 01 06
This is a code under chapter 17 01 — Concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics of the UK European Waste Catalogue, used on waste transfer notes to classify the type of waste being transferred.
17 01 07 is hardcore: broken concrete, brick, block, tile and ceramic arising together from demolition or breaking out. As a clean stream it has an established recycling route into crushed aggregate, which is the practical reason for coding it properly rather than folding it into a mixed skip.
It is the non-hazardous half of a mirror pair with 17 01 06, which covers the same mixtures where hazardous substances are present. As with the rest of chapter 17, what decides the half is the building and the site rather than the look of the material.
Where this waste usually comes from
- Demolition and structural alterations
- Breaking out slabs, hard-standing and foundations
- Groundworks and driveway removal
The common mistake with 17 01 07
Putting clean rubble through as 17 09 04 mixed construction waste. It is the same lorry either way, but the mixed code takes a recyclable aggregate stream out of the route it should be on.

Whether 17 01 07 or its counterpart applies depends on a WM3 assessment of the substances present — the same waste stream classifies differently depending on what it contains.
