When waste enters our material recycling facility it is meticulously sorted. Bulk recyclable material is first to be extracted, then trommels remove fine particles and food. The waste then travels down picking lines where recycling operatives remove as much recyclable material as possible, including paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, wood and non ferrous metals. Finally magnets automatically remove any ferrous metals.

The extracted materials are then bulked together and sent to the relevant recycling or reprocessing company. Wood, paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals can all be used again in the production of new products and materials. Reducing the need to create more materials from original sources.
