ATLANTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT OPERATE A WASTE TRANSFER STATION AND RECYCLING FACILITY FOR MOST WASTE TYPES
Green Waste Recycling
Atlantic Waste Management are specialist Green Waste Recycling Contractors.
Atlantic Waste Management accepts green waste from a number of local councils' household waste sites and waste disposal companies on a contractual basis. In addition to this we take in green waste in from local landscape gardeners based against a reasonable gate fee.
Green waste brought onto site is shredded to reduce it in size in order to aid the composting process. It is then placed in an open trapezoid windrow to undergo the lengthy natural composting process.
If necessary additional water is piped onto the pile in dry weather as this will accelerate the composting and help produce a high quality and more consistent compost.
The pile is turned on a regular basis to keep the temperature consistent and aerate the compost. This also helps break the compost up and moves it closer towards the processing plant.
The composted green waste is then put through a screen which grades and separates the compost. All plastic material is vacuumed out and oversized pieces of wood are returned to the start point area to go through the process once again.
The only by-product of this process is the plastics which are taken away by another waste disposal company. ALL other materials have been recycled.
The final compost product is then used as a soil conditioner in our topsoil which is available to be purchased.
We also offer a complete green waste to compost mobile processing service throughout the country and operate a range of shredders, trommels and specialist green waste handling equipment which enables us to process all types of wood and green waste.
