New CD&E waste recycling facility opens in Leeds
We have expanded our recycling capabilities in Leeds with the opening of a new construction demolition and excavation (CD&E) waste recycling facility.
Located alongside our asphalt plant in the city, the facility is open from 06:30 to 15:00 Monday to Friday. It accepts a wide range of material including bricks, concrete and soil, as well as selected wastes from utilities contracts, and has the capacity to process around 250,000 tonnes a year.
The materials accepted at the facility will be diverted away from landfill, processed and returned to productive use as recycled construction products.
The investment is part of our commitment to conserve natural resources and support the circular economy, and will help meet the increasing demand for more sustainable construction products.
Billy Benton, General Manager, said: “Our new recycling facility provides easy access for tipping a range of CD&E wastes responsibly and sustainably.”
“In addition to being able to collect primary aggregate and asphalt from our Leeds site, builders and contractors can now also buy high quality recycled aggregates for use in their construction projects.”
Our new Leeds recycling facility is one of several we plan to open over the coming months as we continue to increase our capacity to recycle and reuse CD&E wastes.
