Investment in the future
The new sorting plant recently installed at our Thirsk site is the most advanced in the area. The fully mechanised plant will increase our capacity to recycle up to 80 tonnes per hour of construction, demolition and commercial wastes.
All wastes arriving at site are initially screened for sizing. Large objects are transferred into a sorting unit, where plastics, paper, cardboard, wood and metals are removed. Small and medium sized items are passed into an air classification unit, where rubble, metals and timbers are sorted on a density basis. The remaining wastes from the air classification machine are then suitable for recovery in a waste to energy plant.
With the introduction of the only fully integrated recycling plant in the area, we recycle and stream a significant amount of the wastes that we handle away from landfill. This saving on landfill disposal, is passed to our customers through our pricing policy. Managing Director, Richard Todd adds, “Through our new recycling efficiencies and the diverting of waste away from landfill, we have been able to keep skip costs at the same low price”.
Many companies, say that they recycle, we have gone a step further with the most innovative and advanced recycling system in the area to prove our green credentials.
We will be hosting an open day early this Summer, so that the processing and recycling machinery can be viewed in operation. Numbers for the event will be strictly limited, to reserve a ticket, call Becky on 01845 523131 option 4.
Inert Waste Disposal
This Spring our Asenby site will be re-opening for the disposal of inert wastes.
The site will be opening with a new PPC license and has the capacity to dispose of up to 1,000,000 tonnes of subsoils, clays, soils and other inert wastes.
If you are interested in any disposal quotes, contact Kevin on 01845 523131, option 1.
New Quick Drop Service
At Todd Waste Management we understand how frustrating it is when your time is wasted waiting. We are now providing a new quick drop service to all local Builders and Building Companies for easy disposal of most building wastes.
At our Thirsk, York and Knapton sites we have installed skips, each marked for Timber, Rubble and Recycling. Simply book into our Weighbridge Office, charges will be in the region of:
£15.00 Tipping - Contents from an small or medium sized van
£25.00 Tipping - Contents from an large sized van
For more information on this service call Brett on 01845 523131 or email info@fdtodd.co.uk
Landfill Disposal
In April this year the government increased Landfill tax by £8 per tonne, taking the total amount from £32 to £40 per tonne. In line with current government policies this will increase again to £48 per tonne by April 2010. We have already started to explore alternative disposal methods to divert much of your wastes from landfill, and insulate you from increasing disposal costs.
The investment into the new plant will see diversion targets of Construction & Demolition wastes rise to over 90% and we are currently aiming to recover over 60% of Commercial and Industrial wastes. Whilst there is always going to be a residue of wastes that are not recyclable, this will be disposed of by composting or energy recovery.
Tipper Service
In addition to our skip services, we have a small fleet of tipper wagons for the supply of bulk aggregates and disposal of excavated soils and rubbles. As we have tipping facilities across North Yorkshire, we can offer the Tipper service to a large number of sites across the county.
Recycled Aggregates
Due to the increase in Aggregate tax in April, the gap in prices between quarried aggregates and recycled aggregates has widened further. At our Thirsk and Knapton sites we have expanded our capacity to produce WRAP Aggregate Protocol approved recycled aggregates. We now stock a range of recycled stone from 100-40 bulk stone to 40mm Crusher Run and Pipe Bedding. The feedback that we have received from the initial aggregates coming from the new Thirsk plant has been very encouraging. The flight from primary to recycled aggregates has both environmental and cost saving implications without compromising on quality.
