Road sweepings recycling & soil treatment services

Techno Guard provides a range of compliant and cost effective solutions for the recovery of useful materials from street sweepings and for the decontamination of soils from brownfield sites. Our services improve recycling and reduce waste going to landfill.

Diverting road sweepings and soils from landfill

If you are a large-scale producer of street sweepings, glass residue and gulley suckings, or if you run a brownfield site, then Techno Guard can help minimise the residues or soils that might otherwise go to landfill. With our innovative street sweepings treatment we can recover 99% of all material taken to our facilities. While at our soil treatment facilities, in partnership with Biogenie, we can decontaminate soil in as little as 8 weeks.

Recovering secondary aggregates for reuse and recycling

Recover sharp sand and stone is reused in non-structural applications

Recovered glass, metals and twigs are sent for further recycling

This improves local authorities recycling rates and minimises landfill tax

It is also a source of secondary aggregates for construction

Recovered aggregates are stored and sold separately at competitive prices

Which generates a commercial return for customers and protects the environment

Recycled street sweepings

Street sweepings are sifted and washed to segregate sand, stone and glass which are then crushed to form aggregates. If you're a concrete manufacturer or construction company, our recycled aggregates can be used in non-structural building projects, such as foundations for roads. To make sure there’s no cross-contamination and maintain quality, the different aggregates are stored and sold separately at competitive prices, and clearly marked for easy pick-up.

Reducing decontamination from 12 years to
8 weeks

Untreated, contaminated soils can take up to 12 years to degrade. With Techno Guard soil treatment services, it takes as little as 8 weeks. Beginning with testing on-site, we assess the best way to treat the contaminated soil, before taking it to be filtered, washed and treated.

Together with Biogenie, we offer a full end-to-end service, from technical advice and material testing to treatment and recovery. We offer a quick turnaround to reduce costs, minimise landfill taxes, and lessen the impact on the environment.
