J.P Callanan & Son, based in Leighton Buzzard, have just taken on a new LFA 500 vertical mill size baler. They are a skip and demolition company that know they need to pick their material to maximise the recycling and reduce material going to landfill.

Over a month’s period they expect to create roughly an arctic load of bales weighing in excess of 450kg each of which 40% will be mixed rigid plastics, 20% cardboard, 20% PP bulk bags and 20% LDPE.

They process the cardboard into the baler as they generate it, separating out the other recyclables which are placed into IBC bulk bags. Once enough plastic has become available, this will also be produced into bales.

“We felt that we had to take some action as the area around the skips was always a mess. As the customers could see this it detracted from our premium image. We have had the compactor painted to our preference so that it ties in with the building infrastructure. We are so impressed that we have just taken delivery of a smaller unit for our vehicle preparation site." "It took a number of weeks to get everyone educated and singing off the same hymn sheet but we got there. As a premium brand we wanted to make the effort for the environment and this system works well. As well as installing the system and doing the training, Landfill Alternatives are the one-stop shop for all removal - one call and it's all sorted."
