Growing Beds Recycling Services is a privately run and funded waste management company, providing much needed organic waste recycling. We have long been lending a helping hand to local authorities, public sector and private individuals by offering clean and efficient green and wood waste disposal. Over the years Growing Beds has earned the reputation of excellence with regard to environmentally friendly waste disposal. In order to show our commitment to discovering new and resourceful ways of keeping our home clean and Britain’s landfills under control, we have embarked on an exciting new project of exploring waste to energy technology.

Waste-to-Energy – Not just a Future Reality

With current scientific advancements, combined with a growing urgency to discover clean, renewable sources of energy, we are now experiencing a surge of new ways to dispose of waste. Just one of the ways Growing Beds Recycling Services is contributing to this initiative is via our joint venture agreement with Bioflame to build a 2.5MW waste to energy power station. Waste-to-energy technology is proving to be a truly effective and successful alternative energy option.

How does a Waste-to-Energy Plant work?

Waste to energy plants are designed to use a variety of organic wastes as fuel, with clean, renewable energy as the only by-product. This innovative waste to energy plant makes use of biomass fuel to generate steam which in turn mobilizes a powerful turbine generator. The beauty of this generator is that it supplies our society with an ideal waste management program; creating an enormous amount of clean energy from otherwise useless waste.

Ingenious Waste Management Solutions

It is not surprising that waste to energy companies are becoming so important; fulfilling a number of social and environmental needs. Growing Beds Recycling Services is proving to be a leading member of current waste to energy companies. Apart from the appealing aspect of affordable, renewable energy, one of the essential facets of this waste management solution is a considerable decrease of methane production. The power station built by Growing Beds takes waste, which would otherwise be sitting in a landfill generating green house gases, and converts it into clean, super useful energy.

Growing Beds – One of the Foremost Waste Management Companies

Growing Beds Recycling Services is dedicated to providing a cutting-edge approach to recycling and alternative energy sources. It is with this in mind that we are dedicated to becoming a leader amongst waste management companies.

Growing Beds Recycling Services – keeping green issues in the red

There has never been a time when both recycling and conservation have been more important. More than ever we are aware of the effects that bad decisions made by previous generations have had on the environment. As a result, it is now our job now to try undo these effects to the best of our ability. This has been the focus and drive behind Growing Beds Recycling Services. The company has a committed approach towards clean, green issues and strives to offer effective waste management and recycling options. Just some of the affordable methods we have on offer throughout the UK and Ireland are the hiring of slow and high speed shredders, trommels, wind sifters as well as haulage and trade waste assistance.

Growing Beds Recycling Services is unique in that we are a privately funded, leading provider of green waste recycling services and solutions that really work. We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency and we have good working relations with local authorities, public and private sector companies as well as individuals throughout the country. This all forms an important part of our bid to really make an impact towards helping the UK to meet its ambitious waste recycling targets.

Just one of the services we offer that has proven to be very popular is the hiring out of our trammels. Allow us to briefly describe how a trommel works and how and why the hiring of a trommel could be of benefit to you.

Why hire a trommel?

The trommels that we use on site as well as hire out are two extremely reliable and hard working machines namely a two-way split Komptech Mustang Trommel Screen and a three-way split Komptech Magnum Trommel Screen.

Both these machines are offered as part of our trommel hire service. The trommels comprise of extremely large cylindrical drums that are used for separating a mix of different materials, by size. The machine is particularly useful for example when needing to separate and organise a large amount of waste, as a result of demolition or excavation for example. The waste is deposited into the two-way split Komptech Mustang Trommel Screen or the three-way split Komptech Magnum Trommel Screen, both of which are designed to sort the mixture into required fractions.

In the case of excavation for instance, the rubble and earth is fed into the trommel and this is then separated into valuable top soil and cleaned rock that can be used for other applications such as aggregates and landscaping work.

Hiring a Trommel from Growing Beds Recycling Services couldn't be easier. Both our two- way split, Komptech Mustang Trommel Screens and our three way split Komptech Magnum Trommel Screen are portable and are available for hire with or without an operator. What’s more, the machines can be safely and easily transported to the exact spot where they are to be used, with the resulting waste ideally situated for further use.

Why opt for slow speed shredders as a recycling option?

In today's rapidly growing recycling frenzy, there seems to be a wealth of different available options for waste disposal and recycling. Keeping informed therefore about the most up to date methods of clean waste disposal can be daunting. Allow us to explain to you a number of reasons why slow speed shredders are able to greatly and efficiently improve the way we deal with waste, and how and why they could be of benefit to you.

At Growing Beds Recycling Services, we own two Doppstadt 3060 slow speed shredders. These slow speed shredders currently make up some of the business’s most valuable resources as well as forming an important part of our recycling initiative. These are large, sturdy machines that are renowned for their efficient reliability and quality performance. What makes these slow speed shredders particularly environmentally friendly is that they are specifically designed for very low fuel consumption. This means that even when in use all day, the carbon gases produced are remarkably low. Here at Growing Beds Recycling Services we see this as an important advantage and essential in our determination to contribute towards a cleaner future for us all.

Slow speed shredders have proven to be a favourite with many customers because of their high through put and low running costs.

How do slow and high speed shredders work?

The ways in which both our slow and high speed shredders work is fairly straight forward. Waste is fed into the entry port where it is then safely shredded by powerful super sharp blades. Once the shredding is completed, the waste is collected and can be retrieved. The next step is that of the shredded waste being passed through extremely strong magnets, which are designed to remove any metal objects. Once the shredding and decontaminating of the waste has taken place, it can then be successfully and cleanly recycled. For instance, shredded organic waste is perfect for green waste recycling and for the manufacturing of compost.

Our shredders are all immensely useful as part of the green waste recycling procedure, especially our slow speed shredder. This is because there is virtually nothing that these machines are unable to process. Waste options include: green waste, wood waste, household waste, bulky waste, domestic waste, industrial waste, mixed construction waste and root waste. No matter the size or amount of the waste to be shredded, our slow and high speed shredders are more than able to take care of it efficiently.

Clean, efficient wood waste recycling

For a long time now Growing Beds Recycling Services has specialised in wood waste recycling. We are ideally suited to process all types of wood no matter how big or bulky, including pallet waste, construction and demolition waste, building waste and MDF or chipboard. The wood is initially graded and sorted and any litter removed. It is then subjected to a thorough double shredding system to ensure any metal contaminants are removed. The newly shredded wood waste recycling product is then treated according to its end use. This may be any of the following; panel board manufacture, biomass, animal bedding or composting.

A clear option for contract shredder hire

If you are considering contract hiring a shredder, then you can do no better than opting for one of the shredders that are available from Growing Beds Recycling Services. Our machines are quick, clean and easy to use providing a fantastic choice for not only green waste recycling but for any type of recycling.
