Aggregate recycling converts waste into a useful construction resource. Large machinery called crushers and screens make this happen. The brick, stone, concrete and others pieces of rock are first crushed to a more manageable size.

A powerful magnet removes ferrous metal before the material passes onto the screen conveyor. Metals can be recycled again and again. They are a very useful resource.

The screen then "sieves" the material to remove contaminants and stockpiles material of a similar size. Usually around 10mm, 20mm and oversize. Around 400 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste is generated in the UK each year. Recycling this material and putting it back into the resource stream reduces the amount of virgin material needed from quarrying.

Cherry Hill Waste is a part of the Recycling Revolution. Are you?
