Bale Group sample, source and arrange disposal for all but a few waste streams.
The end recycling or disposal route can be one of many ranging from:
Although Bale Group can outsource disposal/recycling sites, we operate many sites in-house.
These are dedicated sites to Bale Group Vehicles therefore giving greater flexlibility and allowing Bale Group to be in complete control of the waste transfer - from start to finish.
Bale Group operates several Land Injection sites located at strategic point's through-out the South of England which recycles organic food wastes to agricultural land.
Used correctly, these wastes are a sustainable replacement to artificial fertilisers and soil conditioning inputs.
Organic waste streams thought to be suitable for land injection go through a stringent analysis and assessment procedure before being added to the site permits issued by the Environment Agency. This procedure calculates the total nutrients available so that the waste stream can be applied at a specific rate for a specific field. To ascertain suitability for injection and nutrient needs of a certain farm, a full Farm Waste Management Plan, NVZ assessment, Risk Assessment and nutrient needs assessment is carried out on each and every field.
If the farm is suitable, waste streams are then matched to the particular fields to achieve the required nutrient result.
After application of the waste streams, a full nutrient summary is then calculated to inform the farmer of what levels of nutrients have been applied.
Waste is injected using the Best Available Technology. This is achieved through constant re-investment in new injection equipment therefore utilising the most up-to-date technology.
The method used is Shallow Injection, this minimises Nitrogen volitisation, smell, sward contamination and risk of run off
Bale Group operates two of the three oil/water separation plants in Devon, England. One in Honiton and one in Plymouth.
The plants are run under IPPC Regulations and are licensed to accept:
If the oil and water is suitable for treatment, it is collected by a vehicle supplied by Bale Group and discharged into the plant. After settlement, water is drawn off for analysis and discharge to sewer and the oil is drawn off and sent off site for further refining into Recovered Fuel Oil (RFO).
The water is then treated by the sewage works and returned to the watercourse.
The oil is then purchased by Power Stations and Quarries as a direct replacement to precious stocks of virgin fuels such as Gas Oil.
The Plant was constructed to greatly reduce the environmental impact through running vehicles vast distances to dispose of and recover such wastes.
