At MukAway, we believe that what’s excavated should rarely be wasted. With civil engineering and construction experience at heart, we built a digital marketplace that transforms surplus soil from cost burden into resource opportunity. On April the 1st 2026 the Lower Rate Landfill tax is increasing by 113% to £8.65/tonne = £173/load in Tax alone.
