Do I need a WM3 or WAC?
In large we require a WM3 classification of material as non-hazardous before we can accept waste at our recycling centre, although we have recently received permission from SEPA to process a modest amount of hazardous soils and stones (EWC 17 05 03). Many people...
Can your recycled aggregates be used in ready-mix concrete production?
Yes. Our aggregates meet BS EN 12620 ‘Aggregates for Concrete’. BS 8500 for the production of concrete allows for 100% BS12620 recycled aggregate to be used in GEN 0 to GEN 3 concrete and 20% to be used in RC20/25 to RC 40/50 (except where the specification allows a...
Why use structural grade aggregates in non-structural applications?
Exactly! In our opinion, virgin aggregates should only be reserved for high-spec applications where no alternative is currently allowed by construction standards. That being said, the uses for recycled materials are ever growing as research and development continues...
How do backloads work?
This is where one of our fleet can deliver aggregate to your site and take away muck or material in the same trip. A discount can be offered due to a saving on haulage, improving your margin.
Can you make a blended product?
Yes, depending on the specification required. We can blend a range of aggregates to create many different gradings that are also compliant with the Specification for Highway Works. This process can be completed for bulk orders or single loads.
What’s your normal turnaround time?
Our usual turnaround time is between 1-2 days from taking your order, however this can vary through the year.
Why should I buy your products over virgin material when they’re roughly the same price?
Choosing our recycled aggregates helps to support the local economy without damaging the local environment. Our recycled aggregates are certified to the Specification for Highway Works and meet industry standards. Our sand and gravel is high quality and comes with a...
Are these recycled aggregates safe to use?
We use state-of-the-art technology to produce our products and comply with SEPA’s end of waste criteria for the production of recycled aggregates from inert waste. The end products are high quality and have been tested and certified to meet industry standards. For...
Your products are recycled materials. Should they be cheaper than virgin resources?
All our products are tested and certificated to the same British product standards as virgin material and also comply with the same application standards (Specification for Highway Works). The materials are high quality and present no difference to virgin products....
