I'm hiring a digger with a driver to dig a trench. Never done this kind of stuff before so any advice appreciated. Think I need the following materials wise.. have I missed anything?

Also, How do I dispose of left over soil? presumably will need a skip?
I'm hiring a digger with a driver to dig a trench. Never done this kind of stuff before so any advice appreciated. Think I need the following materials wise.. have I missed anything?
So far I've listed the following
- 32mm MDPE (minimum 60 metres length)
- 32mm mdpe pipe clips
- 32mm mdpe pipe inserts
- 32mm mdpe stop end (for exposed end of mdpe for water board connection)
- 32mm to 15mm stop cock
- 110mm soil bend (to go through foundations of house) https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-double-socket-bend-87-5-110mm/12960
- 110mm soil pipe https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-underground-drainage-pipe-3m/25648
- 110mm seal for soil pipe https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-110mm/51416
- Pipe insulation - closed cell (for 32mm MDPE)
- Sharp sand for covering the pipe in the trench
Also, How do I dispose of left over soil? presumably will need a skip?
