May 2011 South West Building & Construction 13 WOOD YEW WASTE


Company opens a third depot


WOOD Yew Waste Ltd, which provides a cost-effective way of recycling waste wood in an environmentally sensitive manner, has added a third depot to its portfolio. The company, the largest


recycler of waste wood in the South West, has opened its Cornish depot at Domellick Manor, St Dennis. Wood Yew Waste, which also has an Exeter depot at Woodbury Salterton and a Plymouth depot at Lee Mill, covers the whole of the South West.


As well as opening the new Cornish depot, the company has undertaken a major investment at its Exeter branch. Managing director Clem Spencer said: ‘With the investment in Unit 50 on the Greendale Business Park in Woodbury Salterton, we now have the most modern wood recycling facility in the UK. ‘Wood Yew Waste accepts all types of waste wood ranging from pallets and packaging waste to demolition timber, joinery offcuts and general household wood waste. Our client base ranges from national waste management companies and local council civic amenity sites to skip companies, builders and the public.’


The operation was started in 1999 in Plymouth to recycle wood that was previously being landfilled, with the primary aim of supplying woodchip to the panel board industry.


More recently the company


has expanded to provide recycling solutions for plasterboard and MDF/hardboard/sawdust. Acceptable plasterboard


waste types/materials include: * Waste from rebuilds * Waste from demolitions * New construction waste * Production scrap * Gypsum blocks * Virgin gypsum board cut-


offs


Wood Yew Waste Ltd recycles hundreds of tonnes of waste wood each week. * Complete boards or broken


parts walls etc.


* Gypsum ceilings, floors, All plasterboard waste


deliveries to the Plymouth and Exeter depots need to be free from the following contamination:


* Insulated or melamine surface board.


* Plastic, glass, metal, cardboard, brick, concrete or soils.


More than a decade ago,


working in partnership with Plymouth City Council, Wood Yew Waste set up its operation at the Chelson Meadow Landfill Site to recycle the wood being disposed of at the council’s civic amenity area and also the waste wood that was being landfilled by local industry.


Loads


From an initial turnover of under 50 tonnes of wood per week, it has steadily increased the volume it recycles to around 800 tonnes per week. Among the products the


company supplies are: *Woodchips for the panel board industry


*Premier garden mulch *Springbed - equestrian bedding and arena surfacing *Farm animal bedding for cattle, pig and poultry farms *Ugly Kindling *Cozy Coop, chicken and

pigeon bedding *Woodchips for golf course landscaping *Woodchips for biofuel. Wood Yew Waste can arrange for wood skips to be put at your premises if you do not have your own transport. The business accepts loads of MDF/hardboard/sawdust in separate loads to other recyclable wood.


In line with its normal wood


specification, the MDF/hardboard/sawdust loads


must be free from other contaminates such as plastic, metal, glass etc.


The cost of disposing of products for recycling at the sites is negotiable according to the quality and quantity and represents a large saving over landfill rates.
