Yorwaste Ltd, Northallerton, North Yorkshire - Services - Construction Sector

Construction Sector

The introduction of site waste management plans (SWMP) has led to increasing requirement for segregation of waste materials on construction sites. Yorwaste offer a comprehensive range of containers, vehicles & waste processing facilities to meet these requirements.

By going beyond the provision of just supplying a skip on time at the right place, Yorwaste are setting new standards in customer service by becoming an effective 'green' partner for developers and construction companies, by providing audited recovery, recycling and disposal facilities.

Many YorSkip construction sector customers are introducing environmental performance indicators for sustainable construction. We recognise that these indicators can be decisive in the awarding of new contracts or even, simply, gaining planning permission. YorSkip's approach is to provide a complementary backend service, which ensures that the waste generated by a project is re-used or recycled, where possible, or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally-friendly sustainable way.

One of our major strengths is that we offer a comprehensive collection service and a wide range of in-house waste processing solutions which uniquely provides our customers with an uncomplicated and transparent audit trail. This complete integration of vehicle movements and recycle/disposal route allows us to easily provided detailed information and waste statements to our customers.

The proximity of our processing facilities invariably means that the number of waste miles are kept to a minimum and our customers ultimately benefit from the associated reduction in the carbon footprint from vehicle movements.

Plasterboard recycling

We have recently introduced a new plasterboard recycling service.

The service involves Yorwaste putting dedicated skips on construction sites, marked 'plasterboard'.

When full, the skips are taken to Yorwaste's waster transfer facility, where the plasterboard is packaged before being taken to a plasterboard recycling plant at Immingham, where it is recycled and reused.
