Recycling  ♻️

Gray and Sons Builders Ltd are committed to protecting and maintaining the environment in which we live and we understand the key role we have to minimise waste and recycling our waste where possible on all of our projects, with a desire to target zero waste to landfill sites.

Last week on one of our projects we have reduced the waste due to go off site, with all hardcore being crushed to type 1 status, excavated spoil being screened for topsoil, 20mm – 40mm spoil  remaining as hardcore for complete re-use under hard landscaping on the project.

We have achieved our target of waste being diverted from landfill and have managed to reduce our C02 footprint and the potential impact on the environment.
