So what happens to your waste when its collected?
- One of our collection vehicles will take your waste to one of our trusted local waste transfer stations where it will be processed.
- Your waste will be manually sorted and larger items recovered ready for recycling.
- All of your smaller items will be loaded onto a belt to go through a trommel and picking line. When your waste goes through the trommel at the start of the recycling process this will remove all the soil.
- Your waste will then head into a manual picking shed where the smaller bits of waste will be removed and separated.
- It will then continue it journey through a air blower which will remove all the light waste including paper.
- It will then go under a over-band magnet which will remove all the ferrous metals that are left.#
- Finally at the end of the line will be hardcore/bricks/concrete all ready to be crushed into a sub base for building.
Now your waste is separated into different materials it will be transported for recycling.
