Waste Recycling

Whatever your dry waste comprises you can rest assured that we at Franks will do our best to recycle and return to usefulness as much of your waste as possible.

It is to this end that we recently (2008) opened our new recycling and materials recovery unit incorporating the latest and best sorting and separation equipment.

We aim to recover over 75% from the waste stream comprising plastics, timber, brick, concrete, aggregates and metals.

Recycling materials and methods include:

• Soils are separated through our Trommel, which effectively separates the soil constituents to produce good quality fines
• Hardcore is sorted through a multi-process drum and any residual detritus removed
• Timber is separated from the waste and sent for reprocessing
• Aggregates are produced by passing material through a crusher
• Ferrous items are picked by magnet and bulk transferred to a reprocessor
• Other metals are separated and bulk transferred to a reprocessor.
• Mixed Plastics are hand picked and sent to reprocessor for use in making pipes for cabling
• Cardboard and plastic residues are separated and bulk transferred to Fibre Fuel Limited for use as an energy source by the Slough Heat & Power Facility
