We have a Waste Management Plan in place. It is constantly evolving as new recycling technologies and economic conditions arise. At present all material brought to our works is graded, and stored in segregated areas.
Ferrous metal is separated from non-ferrous metal. The ferrous metal is then processed as furnace feed for steel mills. Any dirt or stones are removed at this stage. Stones are then removed from dirt and sold as aggregate the remaining dirt is land filled. The non-ferrous scrap is separated into grades of aluminium, copper, stainless steel, brass, lead, electrical cable etc. Any foreign material e.g.; wood, glass rubber, plastic etc is removed and where possible is recycled. The non-ferrous metals are then baled, shredded or cut according to customer requirements.
