How we work

Recovery with full legal guarantees

At the Reciclados Mijas plant we receive both construction and demolition waste and green waste, mainly from parks and gardens, which undergo a recovery and recycling process.

We hold authorised manager licence No. 207-GRU and administrative authorisation from the regional Environment Department for the recovery and disposal of urban waste. We follow current legislation and regulations to obtain products that guarantee quality compliance.

Material unsuitable for recovery — so-called reject material — is taken to the controlled landfill the plant is authorised to use. Waste recovered during the process, such as iron, wood, cardboard or plastic, is stored and delivered to specialised managers for correct handling.

How do we do it?

Your waste's journey through the plant

1

Weighbridge

On arrival, every truck passes over the weighbridge, where its weight is recorded and the nature of the waste is checked.

2

Unloading

The material is unloaded in the area assigned to its type, ensuring each waste stream is kept properly separated.

3

Sorting

Our operators sort the waste and remove improper materials, which are sent to specialised managers.

4

Recycling plant

Each stream enters its treatment line: crushing and screening for C&D waste, shredding and composting for green waste.
