Diverting road sweepings and soils from landfill

If you are a large-scale producer of street sweepings, glass residue and gulley suckings, or if you run a brownfield site, then Biffa can help minimise the residues or soils that might otherwise go to landfill. With our innovative street sweepings treatment we can recover 99% of all material taken to our facilities. While at our soil treatment facilities, in partnership with Biogenie, we can decontaminate soil in as little as 8 weeks. 

Recycled street sweepings

Street sweepings are sifted and washed to segregate sand, stone and glass which are then crushed to form aggregates. If you're a concrete manufacturer or construction company, our recycled aggregates can be used in non-structural building projects, such as foundations for roads. To make sure there’s no cross-contamination and maintain quality, the different aggregates are stored and sold separately at competitive prices, and clearly marked for easy pick-up at our Staffordshire and West Sussex sites.

Reducing decontamination from 12 years to 8 weeks

Untreated, contaminated soils can take up to 12 years to degrade. With Biffa's soil treatment services, it takes as little as 8 weeks.  Beginning with testing on-site, we assess the best way to treat the contaminated soil, before taking it to be filtered, washed and treated.

Together with Biogenie, we offer a full end-to-end service, from technical advice and material testing to treatment and recovery. We offer a quick turnaround to reduce costs, minimise landfill taxes, and lessen the impact on the environment.
