This document discusses managing waste and disposal. It explains that waste has become expensive to dispose of and is highly regulated by environmental compliance laws. Producers of waste have a legal duty of care to ensure waste is disposed of properly at a licensed facility. The company processes waste through sorting mechanisms at their four regional transfer stations to extract reusable materials and divert 95% of waste from landfill, with improvements each year. They can arrange waste collection and disposal for individuals and companies for a fee, and are particularly used for asbestos disposal.

1. MANAGING WASTE & DISPOSAL
MANAGING WASTE & DISPOSAL
Waste has become an expensive material to dispose. Our environmental is a
highly regulated world of compliance, legislation, operator training, health and
safety and that is before we talk about operating 30 HGV vehicles! It is
sometimes very hard for the person on the street to grasp all of this.
Luckily people are more aware of waste responsibilities and aware that it must
be managed correctly and indeed the law insists that any producer of waste is a
part of the process. You have a Duty of Care to insure that it is disposed of at a
licensed facility and obtain documentation to prove it.
You will hopefully be aware by now of recycling from your own indicatives in
the home place. We are no different. All your waste is passed through sorting
mechanisms to extract value, reusable parts, and reducing the amount we send
to landfill. We are very pleased to report that this no means that some 95 % is
diverted from landfill, with further improvements each year.
All our waste is processed through our four regional transfer stations. Whilst
our Leiston, Bury St Edmund and Ardleigh site achieve a primary sort, our main
2. Tattingstone location south of Ipswich provides the final secondary screening
together with the asbestos landfill facility. The waste is sorted into items such as
wood, green waste, soils and aggregates to name a few.
CAN WE BRING IT TO YOU?
Yes you can and a number of individuals and companies do rather than having
skips. We will charge a fee subject to the type of waste and quantity. We are
particularly poplar with asbestos disposal for instance.
