Collection

Step 3: Transportation

Once collected, your waste is transported to our state-of-the-art recycling centre, delivered to be sorted and separated for recycling.

Transportation

Step 4: Sorting

Your skip waste is sorted in-house by their materials, including:

  • Hardcore
  • Gravel
  • Topsoil
  • Paper
  • Plastic
  • Metal
Sorting

Step 5: Treatment

Once sorted, your items are treated depending on the type of material, and are either processed in-house, or outsourced to be recycled. Here are just a few examples of how your waste is repurposed:

  • Wood is recycled into biomass, which generates green, renewable energy.
  • Metal, card, and paper are all recycled to be reused in new materials.
  • Concrete and brick are crushed and repurposed as recycled aggregates to be used in construction.
  • Green waste is used as recycled compost.
  • Any residual waste is recovered and used to produce Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) which generates electricity!
