Got Mineralised Sand from a Dig? We Take It and Pay You.
Excavation and construction sites across the Gold Coast, Tweed and Burleigh turn up sand worth more than a spoil run to landfill. Currumbin Minerals buys it, extracts the minerals, and washes the rest clean.
Sand disposal that pays, not costs
Sand under the Gold Coast isn't just sand. Depending on where it's dug up, it can carry a real concentration of heavy minerals — we've measured samples with a strikingly high heavy-mineral content. Most of that sand would otherwise be trucked off-site as spoil, at a cost to whoever's shifting it. We take it instead, pay for it, extract what's valuable, and put the clean sand back into the market as washed sand. It's disposal that pays you, not the other way around — and it's been running since 1948.
Built for excavators, developers and civil contractors
If your site is moving sand — a subdivision, a civil works job, a big excavation, a spoil removal you're currently budgeting as a cost — it's worth finding out what's in it before you truck it away. We service sites across Currumbin, the Gold Coast, Tweed and Burleigh.

Common questions
Who buys mineralised sand on the Gold Coast?
Currumbin Minerals does — we're a licensed mineral sands processor based in Currumbin, and we buy excavated sand carrying heavy mineral content instead of it going to landfill as spoil.
How do I know if my sand is worth anything?
You often can't tell by looking. If your site is in the Currumbin, Gold Coast or Tweed area and you're moving sand from a dig, get in touch before you book a spoil run and we'll take a look.
What volumes do you take?
From a single truckload to a full subdivision's worth of spoil. Tell us the estimated volume and site access when you enquire and we'll quote from there.
Do you handle the transport?
Get in touch and we'll talk through collection, site access and timing as part of the quote — every site's different.
