At our Skip Hire and Recycling centre in Whitby, we prioritise recycling and sustainable waste management.
Our goal is to recycle as much of the waste we collect as possible, transforming it into new products or redirecting it from landfill and towards energy recovery.
We continuously seek innovative solutions and new outlets for waste to maximise recycling efforts and reduce environmental impact.
Every skip that comes into the yard is tipped in our sorting shed where the large pieces of wood, plastic, cardboard and such are removed and separated for recycling. It is at this early stage that the staff empty any bags, boxes, suitcases etc. to make sure nothing is sent to landfill that could be recycled.
The small waste that is left is loaded onto our picking line where 4 members of staff remove any small pieces of any waste that can be recycled and any small pieces of waste that unfortunately have to go to landfill.
When the waste gets to the end of the picking line it passes under a magnet to remove any small pieces of metal and then all that is left is soil and rubble.
The rubble and soil is then transferred to our crushing shed. Here it is put through the trommell, which is a bit like a big washing machine drum which sieves all the small pieces of soil and stone.
The rubble that is left then goes past the blower which removes any very small light pieces of waste that are left.
After the blower, the rubble that is left travels along a smaller picking line where 2 more members of staff remove any pieces of wood or such that may have been missed.
At the end of the picking line there is another magnet – we like to make doubly sure there is nothing left in rubble!
Finally, the rubble goes into the crusher and out of the other end comes 6 types of beautifully clean recycled hardcore – from drainage stone to hardcore suitable for driveways.
Our wood is taken to be used for energy.
We recycle all types of plastic, from hard plastic to plastic film. This goes on the be melted down to make more plastic products.
We bale all of our cardboard which then goes to be recycled and made into paper sacks for things like potatoes and flour.
Window frames – these are converted to a state where they can be used as a raw material in the manufacture of new building.
This is crushed to make fine sand.
Plasterboard is cleaned and ground down for farmers to use the gypsum on their fields.
Municipal (landfill) – we are very proud to say that our mixed municipal waste, which did used to go to landfill, now goes on to be used as fuel.
