Transfer Station Manager, Trevor Piercy, commented: "The Shredder is not just any piece of kit - it is a state of the art industrial workhorse which should alleviate some of the pressure placed upon manpower, thus enabling us to increase capacity and output without the necessity of further staffing resource and without compromising safety issues."

The purpose-built laboratory has been specified in close consultation with our Senior Chemists & technicians, as well as industry specialists, and clearly illustrates BCB's focus on setting the benchmark for new standards of technical expertise.

The above picture shows the operations office on the 1st floor, and the 'Crow's Nest' viewing gallery above. From the gallery, customers will benefit from the optimum view of operations during Duty of Care audit visits - just one of many innovations designed to push the boundaries of customer service to new levels.
