Waste recycling

Waste recycling processes

Whether domestic or commercial, the waste we receive is processed and sorted into each of the different materials as each one is recycled differently. 

1. When the waste arrives at our depot, we go through the following processes:

2. Skips come into the site and are tipped on the floor

3. Waste contents are hand sorted or mechanically sorted to separate out bulk items and each of the different materials 

4. Recycled aggregate, such as stone, hardcore, soil and rubble is all recycled together to be used on building sites. 

5. Wood is taken to the wood bay for shredding and then to the power station for waste to energy 

6. Paper and cardboard goes to companies to shred and recycle

7. Metal is taken to companies to be recycled and reused

8. Smaller items are put through our trommel machine for further sorting, which uses a magnet to pull out any remaining metal 

9. General waste that remains is moved into the GM pile for the incinerator

Aiming to achieve 100% of waste recycling

While we already recycle 98% of the waste that is delivered to us, we aim to reach 100% of all waste being recycled. We are always looking to see how we can improve our processes and reach this goal!
