In an age where sustainability is more than just a buzzword, businesses across the UK are re-evaluating how they operate—and the construction and earthmoving industries are no exception. At Bailey Earthmoving, we believe that doing the job right doesn’t stop at moving earth. It’s also about making sure what’s moved is managed responsibly.

Reducing Waste, One Load at a Time

Every year, millions of tonnes of construction and demolition waste are generated across the UK. The majority of it can be recycled, reused or repurposed—but too much of it still ends up in landfill.

That’s where we step in.

At Bailey Earthmoving, our recycling services focus on diverting waste from landfill by processing materials like concrete, brick, hardcore and soil. Whether it’s from muck away jobs or site clearances, we sort, screen and process materials at our dedicated facilities in Derbyshire to turn them into high-quality recycled aggregates like 6F5, recycled MOT Type 1, and screened topsoil.

Why Use Recycled Materials?

Using recycled materials in construction doesn’t just make environmental sense—it makes financial sense too. Here’s why:

• Lower cost: Recycled aggregates are often more cost-effective than quarried alternatives.
• Eco-friendly: Reduces the need for virgin materials and the carbon footprint of transporting them.
• Sustainable construction: Helps sites meet green building certifications and planning requirements.
• Locally sourced: Our recycling facilities reduce transport distances, supporting local supply chains.

Our Commitment to Compliance

We don’t just move the earth—we move with the times. That means adhering to the latest waste regulations, ensuring all materials are handled and recycled safely, legally and responsibly. All waste is tracked using duty of care waste transfer notes, and we’re licensed to carry and process non-hazardous waste across Derbyshire and beyond.
