our key staff

with over 50 years combined experience in accountancy, office administration and waste management

We currently accept waste from Network Rail via two of their first tier contractors (JSS rail & SSE), from a Local Authority Housing Association (Trivallis) and from a number of local Civil Engineering and Construction Companies. Our permit (EAWML100399) allows us to accept a number of hazardous waste types including asbestos. We also collect non licenced asbestos waste via our sister company Llettyshenkin Construction - who hold a hazardous waste carriers licence, and who's operatives are asbestos awareness trained. Asbestos waste is stored in sealed skips at our site prior to being transported to deep landfill by our trading partner Acumen.

We segregate general waste as it arrives. Clean wood is re-used on site as a fuel in our biomass heater (Woodwaste Technology's WT15) to heat our main warehouse area; green wood waste (mainly from garden clearances) is chipped and used as a garden mulch around our 3 acre site.  Other waste streams, including metal, paint & mattresses, are sent to external specialists (SL Recycling, Paint 360 & Greensteel) to be recycled.

* NEW FOR 2019 - with the aid of a local government grant we have purchased an industrial paper shredder, and can now offer confidential document shredding.

The operation of the transfer station is carried out strictly in line with all current legislation. Consignment notes or duty of care notes are completed for all waste entering or leaving the site as instructed by Natural Resources Wales (formerly The Environment Agency) who regularly visit and inspect the site.

calibrated annually to ensure accuracy

Our experienced weighbridge attendant ensures that clients enter and leave the site in a timely fashion, and are only charged for the actual weight of waste brought into the transfer station. Hazardous waste is stored externally in sealed skips - general waste is sorted before being either recycled, reused or sent to landfill 

Training room

fully equipped and available for hire

Although primarily designed to allow us to train our own staff on site, the room is available for daily or weekly hire by any of our clients, many of whom choose to train their staff at this facility. We are able to offer off road parking, accessible washroom facilities, light refreshments, internet access, flip charts and a projector screen.

working towards a greener future

Being based adjacent to the natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons reminds us each day of the mission statement contained in our logo
"working towards a greener future".
Our goal is to complement the aims of the Well-being of Future Generations Act (Wales) Act 2015 and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 by proactively increasing our own recycling rates and encouraging our business partners to reuse or recycle all waste materials, promoting sustainability, and ensuring current needs are met without compromising the needs of future generations.
