Tarmac Topblock has joined forces with waste specialists Hippowaste to launch an initiative to help companies in the construction industry manage on-site block waste and reduce the amount of material sent to landfill.
The company's Take Back Scheme will enable sites to dispose of all broken, damaged or unused blocks in specially provided 1 cubic yard capacity Hippobags, supplied by Hippowaste. Once 10 or more bags are full, they will be collected by Hippowaste and returned to the nearest Tarmac Recycling plant, where the material will be crushed and recycled into new blocks.
After successful trials, some regions already have the service and it will be delivered nationally in a few months.
