In the modern construction landscape, “waste” is no longer a word we use lightly. What was once seen as debris is now recognized as a valuable resource. At Cartwrights, we believe that the bulk of construction and demolition waste—inert material—holds the key to a more sustainable and cost-effective build.
By focusing on the strict segregation of all recoverable materials, we maximise the efficiency of these bulk resources. Through reducing contamination and improving quality, we transform inert waste into high-grade recycled aggregates that rival primary materials in performance.
The Journey from Site Waste to Quality Aggregate
Segregation: All inert aggregates and arisings passing through our facility are separated from general waste.
Stockpiling & Classification: Coarse aggregates are graded and prepared for further processing.
Crushing & Screening: Using expert machinery, we crush and screen the material into specific classifications, ensuring it meets the standards required for professional construction applications.
Why Choose Recycled Over Primary Aggregates?
Choosing recycled materials isn’t just a “green” box-ticking exercise; it offers tangible benefits for your project:
Cost-Effectiveness: Recycled aggregates are generally more affordable than virgin, quarried materials, reducing your overall project spend.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: By using materials recovered locally in Shropshire, you significantly reduce the “heavy haulage” emissions associated with long-distance quarry transport.
Circular Economy: You are helping divert thousands of tonnes of material from landfill, keeping resources in use for longer.
How can we help?
We operate our own fleet of tippers and grab wagons to ensure your materials arrive exactly when you need them. Our current range includes:
Type 1 MOT: The industry standard for high-quality sub-bases for roads and driveways.
Recycled Hardcore: Perfect for bulk fill, temporary haul roads, and firming up soft ground.
Topsoil: Screened and prepared for landscaping and gardening projects.
Sand & Clays: Essential for various building and engineering applications.
Comprehensive Site Solutions
At Cartwrights, we understand the logistics of a busy site. We don’t just drop off materials; we manage the entire cycle of inert waste:
Cart & Tip / Load & Tip: We can arrive with a fresh load of Type 1 MOT and leave with your site’s rubble, maximizing the efficiency of every vehicle movement.
Hazardous Waste Removal: If your site arisings are contaminated (e.g., with asbestos or oils), our specialist team can handle the safe, legal removal.
Day Work Hire: You can hire our tipper or grab wagons on a day-work basis for maximum flexibility during intense phases of your project.
Which Aggregate Do You Need?
Not sure which material is right for your project? Here’s a quick guide:
Building a Driveway? You’ll need Type 1 MOT for a load-bearing, compacted sub-base.
Raising Ground Levels? Our Recycled Hardcore or Crushed Hardcore is the most cost-effective solution for bulk filling.
Final Landscaping? Our Screened Topsoil provides the perfect nutrient-rich base for turf or planting.
Whether you are a large-scale developer or a local contractor, Cartwrights has the expertise and the fleet to keep your project moving.
