TREATMENT OF WASTE –LANDFILL REGULATIONS

AB Waste Disposal has a transfer station where all our skips are tipped and sorted by hand and machinery. We at AB Waste are dedicated to recovering materials for recycling and always looking to reduce the waste going to landfill.

All the waste which enters our transfer station is recorded and monitored. This includes every skip that is tipped and every container which goes out.

Our system is environment agency approved, and allows us to see were improvements can be made with our outgoing materials. AB Waste percentages for our materials recycled are estimated, through average weights, monitoring and recordings.

Inert Materials	99%	(1% to landfill)
Wood	99%	(1% to landfill)
Green Waste	95%	(5% to landfill)
Scrap metals/aluminium	95%	(5% to landfill)
Cardboard	90%	(10% to landfill)
Upvc Window Frames	90%	(10% to landfill)
Plasterboard	100%	(0% to landfill)
Gas and Water Pipes	95%	(5% to landfill)
Cables and Wiring	95%	(5% to landfill)
Chipboard, MDF, Plywood	95%	(5% to landfill)
Hard Plastics	95%	(5% to landfill)

The percentage of the waste above which goes to landfill is through contamination of materials, e.g. paint, mixed materials (tar on chipboard).

AB Waste is greatly aware of our responsibility to reduce our ‘carbon footprint’ and help with the countries recycling future. You can be confident that your waste is sorted for recycling by our staff and with our machinery to a very high standard.
