Wood

Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd has always recycled wood that has come into our recycling centers which was either segregated at source or mixed in a skip.  Since the end of 2015 Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd have had a wood processing line themselves.  This line comprises of:

• Powercreen 1800 Primary Shredder with overband magnet
• Doppstadt AK530 High Speed Shredder with overband magnet
• Eriez Eddy Currant Separator with rare earth drum magnet
• Sandvik QE341 screener on tracks with 3 way split

This has enable the company to shred wood waste down into various sizes and supply the following products:

• Animal Bedding
• Arena Surfacing
• Biomass
• Wood for wood board manufacturing

Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd have invested heavily in the wood processing operation.  With this investment we are able to turn waste wood into a final product to the specification of the end user.

Here’s the journey:
1️⃣ Collection – Pallets arrive at our waste processing plant from sites across Scotland.
2️⃣ Inspection & Sorting – We remove any contaminants like nails or plastics to ensure a clean, pure material stream.
3️⃣ Shredding & Screening – The wood is processed into low and high-quality graded wood chips, lower grade wood chips are used for biomass fuel.
4️⃣ Supply to Manufacturers – Grade A wood chips are sent to OSB producers, where they’re transformed into strong, sustainable building boards used in construction projects nationwide.
♻️ This process keeps valuable resources in circulation, diverts waste from landfill, and supports the circular economy.
