Getting serious about community waste

“We are constantly expanding our range of balers and services to stay abreast of increasing expectations of our customers regarding efficiency and safety,” said Michele Lawson from Trethewey Industries.

“With the zero to landfill 2010, as proposed by world environmental legislators, Trethewey Industries has developed a new baler range as well as a system for Councils in the recycling and handling of community waste.

“We believe our customers will be excited about the new baler range which is addressing safety and efficiency concerns in a serious way.”

Trethewey Industries’ exposure to the waste compacting market over the past four years has equipped it to develop machines which exceed customers requirements. Over the next two months, Trethewey Industries will be introducing their new product.

The HD100SS (SS Single Sided) baler will have great appeal to smaller customers, such as smaller supermarkets, for the compaction of cardboard, paper, plastics and shrinkwrap.

For larger customers, such as Councils and large contractors, Trethewey Industries is developing systems for the handling and recycling of the entire community waste stream to meet proposed environmental requirements.

This includes a range of equipment systems and procedures for the recycling and conversion of biodegradable and non biodegradable waste.

“Trethewey Industries is keen to be involved with those involved with the waste disposal industries, particularly smaller town Councils,” Michele Lawson said.
