& Processing
We recycle over 80% of a wide range of waste from the general public, households, commercial operators, and local construction companies, builders and other organisations.
Our Bins Take
Most Types of Waste
Paper & Cardboard
Paper and Cardboard is made from trees and is easily recycled, if the material is separated from general waste. Brown Bros. Skip Bins encourages our clients to recycle where ever possible. This reduces the impact on the environment and on land fill space.
Rubble
Rubble can consist of a variety of waste types, including soil / clay, brick, concrete and asphalt. All of these products are recyclable, but when they are mixed are classed as Rubble.
VENM – Virgin Excavated Natural Material
Materials such as soil, sand stone, bush rock and clay are natural products and are called VENM Virgin Excavated Natural Material at the Recycling centres. In order for these products to be classed as VENM they must be completely void of any other man made contaminates such as timber or concrete.
Steel & Metal
Steel and Metal can be classed in to two categories, Ferrous or Non Ferrous. Ferrous metals are products such as steel and stainless. Non Ferrous metals are products such as Aluminium and Cooper.
Vegetation
Vegetation is classed as green waste. When vegetation is put into landfill it is covered, this does not allow it to break down naturally. It causes the vegetation to release methane, a greenhouse gas which is 21 times more potent than Carbon dioxide.
Brick, Concrete & Tiles
Masonry products such as brick and concrete are separated at the recycling plants. They are crushed, graded and used in road base, driveways, drainage and road construction.
Demolition & Construction
Demolition and Construction waste includes building materials such as insulation, nails, electrical wiring, shingle, and roofing as well as waste originating from site preparation such as dredging materials, tree stumps, and rubble. Demolition & Construction waste may contain lead, asbestos, or other hazardous substances.There is the potential to recycle many elements of demolition / construction waste. Rubble can be crushed and reused in construction projects. Waste wood can also be recovered and recycled.
