Dibles Wharf is one of TJ’s four Materials Recovery Facilities dotted along the south coast. It’s a place where waste is received or taken to for sorting and onward recycling.
TJ recycles or reuses up to 100% of the waste they process, which is extremely impressive and shows that they are doing all they can to divert waste from landfill. As well as the standard waste streams of paper, cardboard, wood, metal and glass, TJ also recycle materials such as rubble, soil and concrete.
Dibles is used by third party commercial businesses, many of whom are in the construction industry, as well as TJ themselves, who bring back all the waste from their depots and contract work for sorting and recycling. A lot of the contract work is commercial waste management contracts, which could be regular waste removal carried out for local companies or events such as the Great South Run and Victorious Festival.
Dibles is located in Northam, Southampton, so it is very accessible to companies in and around the Southampton area, with easy access via the M27 and A3024.
TJ Operations Manager Jason Strudwick, oversees the running of all four Materials Recovery Facilities. He said: “We strive to recycle as much as we can. Our main aims are to provide an excellent service to our customers using our sites, to follow the waste hierarchy and to keep waste going to landfill as close to zero as possible.”
There are picking stations that staff man to sort the waste into different streams. They will sort through the waste, segregating it into different areas using chutes to make the process simple and efficient. Machinery and vehicles are used to lift, move and transport waste around the site and get it ready for its onward journey.
Once sorted, the different recyclables such as paper and cardboard, upvc, wood and bricks will be bundled and secured and taken off site by our drivers for recycling at stations in Hampshire and beyond.
The inert waste such as rubble, soil and concrete are taken to TJ’s Butser Quarry and crushed into useful aggregates such as 6F5 crushed concrete, 6F5 track ballast, type 1 crushed concrete, type 1 reclamix and screened soil.
Dibles is staffed by 12 experienced employees. They consist of a site foreman, a weighbridge operator, four drivers and and six site operatives, who work together to ensure a first-class service.
