Recycling
Thompsons' constant aim to improve its earthworks and demolition services has culminated in a network of three transfer stations, a recycling centre and four waste disposal sites which handle all waste produced by contracts.
About 95% of all demolition waste is recycled to produce, for instance, reclaimed timber, topsoil, slates and building stone along with crushed concrete and brick (to GSB Type 1 and 6F1/2 specifications). Cardboard is sent to a papermill and waste timber to a chipboard manufacturer, both local. All Aggregates are produced under a quality control system which ensures an end product which is compliant with specification.
