CONCRETE
When your waste concrete
is crushed, any steel is removed with magnetic separators and sent
away for recycling. Primary product is then crushed further and screened
into various graded secondary products suitable for construction,
drainage, retaining walls and other projects.

SOIL
The bulk of the raw soil
we accept generally comes from contractors stripping sites for new
construction. We process the soil to remove contaminants such as
wood, plastic, concrete etc. It is amazing how the raw soil is transformed
into a quality product that is easily handled and spread.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
As members of the Recycling Operators of New Zealand (RONZ ) and following
our company ethos, we are continually working towards improving the environmental
efficiency of our operation.
Moving to reduce our carbon footprint, we have electrified as much plant
as possible, and when able intend to be purchasing green electricity.
By 2012 our goal is to have our diesel powered machinery complying with Emission Regulations EU Stage 111 A. Our intentions are not only to sell environmentally friendly products, but to also produce them in an environmentally safe manner.
ENVIRONMENTALLY PRODUCED PRODUCTS - THE WAY FORWARD
We believe there is a good market for environmental products, especially
when they are cost effective to purchase. The service we provide not only
saves on filling valuable landfill sites, but depending on the job location
can also have a direct impact on transport costs. At over $1.00 per minute
for transport these days, trucking material further than needed can make
a substantial difference to a projects cost.
The type of operation we run can be commonly found in progressive countries,
but up until now most operators in New Zealand seem to have not developed
crushed concrete products much past a basic filling product, hence a limited
sales market. We take it beyond that by producing a range of quality products.
COST EFFECTIVENESS
People sometimes ask why we charge tip fees for their waste concrete and
soil when we need it for processing. Unlike a quarry or landfill where
there is only one income stream, we have two. This means we can reduce
the prices of tip fees and of product supply to ensure a steady flow of
material in and out.
If a price comparison is made with those of traditional suppliers like
landfills, quarries and supply yards, you should be pleasantly surprised.
