ETHICAL, ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
At William Thompson & Son, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As an environmentally responsible company, we are committed to ethical waste management practices, ensuring that we minimise our environmental impact while delivering exceptional services to our clients. Our approach to waste management is not just about following regulations, it's about actively contributing to a greener, cleaner future for all.
WORKING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT,NOT AGAINST IT
We believe that effective waste management should work in harmony with the environment. At W M Thompson, we are proud to implement advanced waste recycling techniques that reduce landfill waste, promote the reuse of materials, and support sustainable construction practices. From sorting and processing waste at our Dumbarton facility to ensuring that recyclable materials are diverted from landfill, every step is taken with environmental responsibility in mind.
Our commitment to the environment extends beyond the disposal process. We actively seek ways to improve the sustainability of our operations, from reducing energy consumption to exploring innovative recycling methods. We are fully compliant with environmental regulations and continually review our policies to ensure we are at the forefront of eco-friendly practices.
When you choose us for your waste disposal and quarrying needs, you can be assured that you are supporting a company that values the planet as much as you do.
NATURAL QUARRY PRODUCTS, MINIMALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
We can’t live without the resources that quarries provide. From roads and surfaces, to buildings and construction - and even to sea defences - quarry products and aggregates form the basis of many of the structures that we come into contact with on a daily basis.
THE WILLIAM THOMPSON & SON GUARANTEE
We work closely with the environment; therefore its preservation is an issue close to our heart. We promise to keep investing and improving our methods of quarrying so that we may have as little impact on the environment as possible.
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
We’re proud to work closely with the following bodies to ensure that we’re taking all the correct environmental procedures:
S.E.P.A. (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency)
Historic Scotland
Environmental Health
West Dumbartonshire Council
RECYCLING
William Thompson & Son also provide recycled aggregates
as a means of minimising the environmental impact of our quarry. Recycled from construction projects, secondary aggregates are a cheap and eco-friendly solution to your building and groundworks needs.
SAFE, NON-HAZARDOUS LANDFILL
What we cannot recycle can be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way at our S.E.P.A licensed landfill site. As a former quarry itself, our landfill project
is dedicated to restoring the natural landscape.
