RECYCLING MANAGEMENT

OUR RECYCLING MANAGEMENT SERVICE HAS A RECYCLE RATE OF UP TO 90%!

So dispose of that waste the right way and contact Sandsfield Gravel Co. today. We're based in Driffield and operate across the Yorkshire region

IF YOUR WASTE CAN BE RECYCLED, THEN SANDSFIELD GRAVEL CO. WILL MAKE SURE IT IS!

All unsorted waste enters our transfer station where it is passed through a picking and sorting line. We aim to separate concrete, brick, soil, plastic, wood, cardboard and glass - reducing the tonnage going to landfill by 80%!

Recycled crushed concrete is added to new concrete at a rate of 10% in line with government requirements
Recycled brick is crushed to supply hardcore
Recycled glass is crushed to make fine sands
Wood and cardboard is shredded and composted and mixed with the recycled soils to create a quality topsoil

We contribute to the Landfill Communities Fund!

The Landfill Communities Fund is an initiative set up to allow landfill operators to contribute to local community projects. Local groups can apply for money from this fund for projects that will help the community or the local area.

Projects can be put forward by environmental organisations, local authorities, community groups and individuals. All projects must be within 10 miles of the Sandsfield landfill site at Brandesburton, and fall into 3 main categories:

to provide or maintain public amenities or parks
to protect the environment and conserve/promote biological diversity on land or water;
to restore or repair buildings for religious worship or that are of architectural or historical interest (Grade 2* or above)

A tax on landfill use was introduced in 1996 in order to promote a shift to more environmentally sustainable methods of waste management. Landfill operators may donate a certain percentage of this tax to the fund.

Sandsfield contributes to this fund, and are partnered with Mondegreen Environmental Body Ltd. Please visit their website for more information about the Landfill Communities Fund.
