What Happens to Brick Waste?

Brick waste is collected from demolition sites and construction sites by two man teams in eco-friendly vehicles on a day that suits you.

The bricks are taken to a sorting facility and processed to remove any hazardous substances then cleaned to prepare them for recycling.

Clean bricks are crushed into smaller aggregate materials and are then ready to be repurposed and reused for new projects in various formats.

What Can You Do With Recycled Bricks? 

Recycled bricks and aggregate can be used in a huge variety of ways:

  • Foundations – Brick aggregates can be used as a base material for roads and pavements due to its durability and strength.
  • Landscaping – Recycled brick chips are popular for decorative ground cover in gardens, parks, and commercial landscaping.
  • Drainage – As crushed brick is permeable, its a great material for drainage and pipe bedding
  • Surfaces – Brick dust if mixed with cement, lime, or natural sand, can be used to make durable plaster that is perfect for walls
  • Void filling – crushed brick dust is often better at filling voids than traditional materials like sand or stone dust
  • Construction materials – Recycled brick can be turned into new brick or concrete,
