The remaining material continues out of the picking station, under an overband magnet which collects any remaining ferrous metals, leaving a clean hardcore product which can be recycling back into the construction industry.
The other separately collected fractions are compacted into bales and sent to local plants to be further processed. The small amount of remaining material is sent to a local RDF facility where it is burnt to create energy.
We spoke to Paul Labram and Jonny Lackenby at Tom White Waste during the hire to see how the machinery was performing:
“Everything has been great for us so far; the machinery has exceeded our expectations, and we will be looking to possibly keep the equipment now on long term hire.”
Paul Labram - Waste Processing and Fleet Operations Manager
“I have found my dealings with CRJ extremely positive.”
