Hazlemere- Firmly Committed To Recycling

Whilst conducting our duties as a home improvement specialist and installing our full stock of windows, doors, conservatories and orangeries we’re always mindful of the environment and the need to protect and sustain it as best we can for future generations.

Considerable effort has been made, particularly over the last eight years, to ensure that we appropriately reduce, reuse and recycle, wherever possible, which is why we regularly utilise a substantial fleet of skips to help us do it, as supplied by waste experts Grundons Waste Management.

Any surplus timber we come across is put to great use in all manner of ways such as for energy efficient heating systems, and wood chippings for plants. We also do our upmost to recycle cardboard, paper and plastic packaging.

Some of our UPVC products are actually developed from first generation plastic windows and we reuse and melt down any aluminium offcuts.

Grundons Waste Management also takes responsibility for processing any spray tins, plastic cleaning bottles or items with a COSHH assessment.

So far as hardcore waste is concerned we have it crushed and reuse it for many of our construction and building projects. Any crittal and metal frames are recycled by ASM Metal Recycling and Berryman Glass Recycling similarly takes care of glass recycling.

Any non-notifiable asbestos removal can be attended to by Hazlemere as we have official authorisation to dispose of it into a secure, enclosed skip for suitable processing.

All of these recycling methods help us reduce sending waste to landfill and rubbish sites, which in turn allows us to reduce the cost of our landfill taxes. It’s also enabled us to gain the ISO14001 environmental accreditation for waste management.

Far from just settling on existing recycling procedures, we will continuously look to discover new ways of further streamlining our recycling to help make us an even more environmentally-friendly company.
