Why Buy Recycled?

Buying and using recycled aggregates are in most cases a cheaper, more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to buying primary aggregates from a quarry.

All of our recycled aggregates are produced in accordance with our companys quality protocol which ensures each product is manufactured to a consistent specification, ensuring quality.

Our recycled aggregate can be produced and tested to conform to Department Of Highways Specification when required by a customer.

Recycled aggregates are not subject to the current £ 1.90 per to aggregate levy as are quarried products. This saving can be passed on to the customer when they chose to use recycled aggregate.

In some circumstances your project may need to dispose of unsuitable excavated waste and replace this with hardcore or soil.

At Gwendraeth Valley Recycling’s facility you can dispose of your Inert or Green Waste and purchase recycled aggregate to deliver to your site in one vehicle movement, saving you time, fuel and the cost of quarry aggregates.

Gwendraeth Valley Recycling can also provide a quote for excavating, site clearance, providing and delivering, spreading compacting recycled aggregate or soil if required.

We would interested in quoting for and undertaking any concrete breaking / processing / crushing / disposal works throughout West Wales, although work outside of this area may be considered.

Why Us?

Due to the resources and knowledge needed to carry out our associated Demolition and recycling yard activities, our company has the experience and plant to break up and process mass re-enforced concrete into a more manageable size. Dependant on the clients requirements, the processed concrete can the either be disposed of off site at our inert waste recycling yard or we can further process the material in a jaw crusher to produce a re-usable secondary aggregate that can remain on site, saving the client on disposal costs, vehicle hire, buying primary aggregate from quarries and minimising excessive vehicle movements around the site area which can lead to further problems.

Our company operates a 26ton Tracked mobile crusher that can process your waste into a valuable commodity. If aggregate was needed at the development, the reuse of this processed material substitute for buying and importing expensive quarry aggregate. The savings made can sometimes be equal to the cost of processing.

Gwendraeth Valley Recycling operates an Inert & Green Waste recycling facility. If processed material is not needed at the project the client has the option of disposing of their hardcore waste at our facility.
