Landfill waste disposal

FRANKS owns and operates its landfill site near Betchworth, Surrey where inert waste is being used to restore land usage following excavation of building sands.

Landfill is one of the most effective ways of disposing of a wide range of waste material and represents the final stage in a carefully planned process, which involves mineral extraction, in-filling and restoration. Also at Betchworth we receive the inert waste from our own recycling facility.

In order to ensure that the environment and surrounding communities are fully protected, FRANKS undertakes careful planning and operates its sites to the highest standards of professional care. Our landfill operation complies fully with current PPC (Pollution Prevention & Control) regulations. An electronic weighbridge measures all loads and our computer software records all waste movements.

Our sites are assessed for environmental impact, and every planning application we make is accompanied by rigorous investigation and documentation covering every issue that might impact upon the local environment.

In 2005 our Betchworth facility was the first solely inert waste site to successfully achieve a Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations Permit (PPC) which allows us to dispose of non-recyclable waste to landfill.

Our friendly team will be happy to talk to you regarding the removal and safe disposal of your commercial and site waste (“muck away”).
