Waste Transfer Station

Responsible Processing of Commercial Waste

MacInnes Bros Ltd strive to minimise our construction activities with a positive view to reducing the work-related impact on the environment and waste accumulation/disposal, protecting natural resources and ensuring they are passed onto future generations in good order.

Our Uachdar, Benbecula Depot is a Scottish Environmental Protection Agency registered Waste Management holder (Licence No: WML/N/0220019) and Waste Carrier (Registration No: SNO/038046).

MIB strive to minimise our Construction Waste by using SEPA guidance – SWMPs and Pollution Prevention Guideline 6, Section 10 – whilst working at construction and demolition sites:

• Identifying the quantities and types of waste that are likely to be produced, assessing potential opportunities for re-use or recycling where possible
• Identifying how each type of waste/refuse should may be dealt with, including segregation and conveyance by covered skips to our registered Disposal Depot on Benbecula
• Progressively monitor the ordering and delivery of materials, preventing excess, reducing storage and waste
• Promulgate all Site Waste Management arrangements to site staff & contractors on a regular basis, evidencing discussions in relevant Site Waste Management Plan
• Separating different types of waste/refuse into separate skips as required
• Covering skips/receptacles to prevent waste/refuse being scattered by the weather, or wildlife into the local environment
• Removing all nails from scrap timber to avoid hand/foot injuries being sustained by employees
• Securing lightweight waste/refuse to prevent it being scattered by the wind into the local environment
• Ensuring waste/refuse is placed in correctly marked skip/receptacle
