Sustainable Considerations Of A Waste Management Organisation

William Thompson & Son • Oct 27, 2022

There is an increased focus on sustainability and responsible disposal in the waste management sector, with different materials and frequent waste types to account for. While all waste management organisations should prioritise safe and environmentally conscious disposal within daily practice, not all companies abide by this necessity. Thankfully, WM Thompson & Son Ltd are well-placed to advise on the correct processes and procedures for recycling, with the following guide acting as a reliable accompaniment.


What Is Waste Management?

A waste management company will help out with recycling and regular waste disposal, offering an effective solution for items as varied as large pieces of furniture and sturdy objects, to excess junk from a home clearance or accumulated plastic waste. Waste management companies may also prove useful in the commercial sector too, as renovating an office or moving into a larger workspace tends to create a lot of excess. With a dedicated eco-friendly landfill site and vehicles for varied purposes, work with a company you can trust.


Sustainable Processes

From our purpose-built on-site recycling plant to our supply of recycled aggregates, we’re devoted to neutralising any negative environmental impact caused by quarrying, adding up to a sustainable process with minimal repercussions to the surrounding area. Though the act of quarrying is a vital process for extracting raw minerals and materials, it can have a detrimental impact if not executed correctly. For this reason, we always plan ahead, looking to reduce visual and noise pollution, disposing of excess in a safe manner.


Collaboration

Not only do WM Thompson & Son Ltd follow best practice when it comes to waste management procedures, we also collaborate with several important stakeholders and organisations to ensure minimal environmental impact. Proudly working with the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, Historic Scotland and Environmental Health, useful advice can be passed onto our team as and when required, for immediate action and updates.


Responsible Actions From WM Thompson And Son

Minimising the environmental impact of our local quarry, we provide recycled aggregate from construction projects, which can easily be reused for other purposes. These secondary aggregates are a cheap and eco-friendly solution to building and groundworks needs, therefore what we cannot recycle can be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way at our licensed landfill site. As a former quarry itself, our landfill project is dedicated to restoring the beautiful natural landscape.


WM Thompson & Son Ltd supply all sectors of the construction and building industry with high-quality quarry products as varied as natural stone, concrete, recycled aggregates and much more. Also proud to offer professional landfill services and recycling options to those around the city, we’re adaptable and able to assist at short notice when needed. Contact us today with any specific queries or inquiries - we’re always happy to help!
