Fill Material (Waste) - Gray

Fill material labeled as "waste" in a gray color is a byproduct aggregate commonly sourced from construction or excavation sites. This material typically consists of a mix of soil, small rocks, and other inert debris, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale filling needs where structural integrity is not critical.

The "waste" attribute indicates that this fill is not screened or processed for uniformity, which can result in variable composition and compaction characteristics. While it may not be suitable for load-bearing applications or areas requiring precise grading, it is ideal for backfilling, raising ground levels, or filling voids in non-structural areas. Its affordability and availability make it popular for both residential and commercial projects where high-quality aggregate is unnecessary. However, due to its inconsistent makeup, it is not recommended for use under foundations or in areas requiring stable, compacted subgrades.
