At Sinclair Contractors we have been providing the service of recycling waste to land for over 10 years. Many wastes once treated correctly are very good sources of organic manure, whether it be Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, or many other trace elements. When applied correctly to suitable land these nutrients can replace the need to apply inorganic manufactured fertilisers and also benefit soil structure. With our scientific understanding and modern lab testing we can in the first instance test the soil to find its nutrient status. One the correct land has been found an application will be submitted to grant permission to take waste to the site and spread it.

 

The recycling of waste to land in Scotland is overseen by SEPA to ensure that the correct procedures are followed by all parties. In most cases SEPA have to issue and exemption from the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2007, this then allows us to transport the waste to the storage site, this will then be spread at the correct time of year to benefit the crop and the environment.

 

The recycling of waste to land ensures that our landfills are not being unnecessarily filled up with waste that can be beneficial to other industries with no environmental impact. All of the wastes are lab tested at regular intervals to ensure the correct qualities are achieved.

 

The wastes that we currently recycle to land are:

 

Heat treated sewage sludge (Cambi)

 

Lime stabilised sewage sludge

 

Paper factory pulp

 

Livestock waste
