Our Recycled Crushed Hardcore

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. At Morley Skips, our purpose-built waste transfer station allows us to produce our own high-quality recycled crushed hardcore from reclaimed materials. This not only benefits the environment by reducing the amount going to landfill, but also ensures that our customers receive dependable materials at cost-effective prices.  
 
Here’s how we do it: 

1. Mixed waste is collected and inspected by trained drivers 

2. Hazardous or non-processable items are removed by 360 grab excavators 

3. Waste is held and transferred to a picking line 

4. A trommel sifts out dust and fine particles under 30mm 

5. Larger materials are separated by our team into recyclable categories: cardboard, plastic, wood, and non-ferrous metals 

6. Non-recyclable waste and trommel fines are processed for reuse where possible 

7. Remaining materials are crushed into high-quality aggregates, suitable for construction
