Our Waste Transfer Station
With our own waste transfer station and Weighbridge, we sort and process all waste ourselves. Our facility is licensed to accept a variety of waste, including construction / demolition waste, household waste, asbestos and bonded waste, WEEE waste and farm plastic.
We will require a copy of all Waste Carriers licences for customers wanting to use our facility, or proof of exemption. We also require each load of waste to be accompanied with a waste transfer note, which must be completed before coming to any of our sites.
What happens to the waste?
When your waste arrives at our waste transfer station in a skip or vehicle load, it is weighed and then transferred into a holding bay. It is then pre-sorted before being put though our picking station for further processing.
The picking line sorts and segregates the soil, stone, metals, wood, glass and plastics from the active wastes.

COLLECT, SORT, AND RECYCLE!
At EMS, we work closely with customers to separate recyclable and non-recyclable waste at the source, ensuring high-quality recycling with minimal contamination. Our eco-friendly waste management programs maximize recycling rates and reduce environmental impact.
We offer tailored waste solutions, from small house clearances to high-volume commercial waste management, including skip hire, scrap metal recycling, and specialist waste disposal.
