What Happens to the Waste?

All the waste that is collected in our skips is returned to our Licensed Recycling Centre in Leyland. Here the skips are emptied in an indoor waste recycling facility so that there is no chance of any waste escaping into the Local Environment. Once the waste has been tipped, our team of trained recycling operatives carefully seperate the waste into various types, i.e wood/plastic/aggregates. Initially this is done manually to remove the more bulky items, then the pre-sorted waste is moved using our Loading shovels into storage bays. The waste is then treated in a variety of ways such as through shredding, screening and/or compaction and is then final reloaded into larger containers to be transported to various destinations for re-use or further treatment.
