Recycling
Cleaner aggregates,
greater impact with CDE
Based in Redruth, Harts Haulage has taken a big step forward by installing a
new CDE wash plant transforming how they handle construction waste and
reducing what goes to landfill by around 80%.
Harts Haulage has always been a hands-on,
family-run operation. It started with Neil Hart, a
few machines, taking on muck-away jobs and
supplying aggregates to local sites across
Cornwall. As the demand grew, so did the
business, but their core values never changed.
They built a reputation for being reliable, down-
to-earth, and focused on looking after their
customers.
As the company’s focus shifted toward recycling and
sustainability, they began transforming site waste into usable
material for local builders and developers. Initially, the
business dry processed the material utilising a Finlay 883+
Heavy Duty Screener and a J-1170 Jaw Crusher sourced from
Molson. They’ve also since added 6F4 and recycled 803 to
their product range, giving customers more choice and getting
more value from every load.
Despite this process Hart’s were still taking considerable
volumes to landfill due to material being contaminated with
clay and lightweights therefore not being suitable for dry
processing. It was the limitations of this process that prompted
Harts to seek a solution to divert this material from landfill
and maximize the production of high quality, high value
recycled sand and aggregates which can be used as a
replacement for natural materials in a range of construction
applications.
Thanks to the strong relationship between Harts Haulage and
Molson, the conversation naturally turned to finding a better
way to process their material. The local Molson sales team
recommended exploring a wash plant and introduced Neil to
Matt Bunting, Managing Director of Molson Washing. Before
suggesting any specific setup, Matt shared examples of
successful installations he had delivered for other customers
and facilitated site visits to see them in action. From there,
Molson worked closely with Harts to co-create a solution
