Artificial Grass waste recycling Manchester

May 5, 2025

Mayo Grab hire services can be used for removing artificial grass waste. A grab lorry is a vehicle with a hydraulic arm that can grab and load waste, offering a quick and efficient way to dispose of materials like old artificial grass and Astro turf. It’s a suitable alternative to a skip, especially when dealing with heavy large volumes of waste or limited access such as school play areas.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

What is Grab Hire?

Grab hire is a waste removal service that utilizes a specialized vehicle with a hydraulic grab (or arm) to pick up and load waste directly onto the truck.
Why use it for artificial grass waste?

Artificial grass waste can be bulky, heavy and difficult to handle, making it a good fit for grab hire’s ability to lift and load large quantities of waste material.
How it works:

The grabber arm reaches into the pile of waste and lifts the material, loading it onto the truck body. This eliminates the need for manual labor or other equipment.
Benefits of Grab Hire for Artificial Grass Waste:
Efficiency: Quick loading and removal of large quantities of waste.

Accessibility: The hydraulic arm can reach difficult areas, even over fences or around obstacles.

Cost-effective: Often more economical than traditional skip hire, especially for large volumes of waste.

Compliance: Once our grab hire trucks have safely recovered your sports pitch artificial grass waste we then ensure the waste is fully compliantly disposed of at licensed recycling facility. Here’s the process;

Rubber

Specialist technology separates the rubber granules from the pitch infill system. The rubber is then carefully cleaned and graded to precise particle sizing. The recycled particles are then sampled and tested to ensure they meet current industry standards.

Sand

Once the heavy sand has been isolated from the carpet system, it is thoroughly cleaned, dried, graded and bagged, ready for re-use in new synthetic turf installations.

Pitch

The end-of-life pitch is cut, rolled, and transported by trucks to the recycling plant. After the rubber and sand have been removed from the carpet, the old turf rolls are then shredded, cleaned and processed. Specialist plastic agglomeration technology is used to facilitate the production of sustainable recycled plastic kickboard, which are resold back into our industry.
