About Us
Research on Waste Management in JHB revealed that construction and demolition waste accounts for a significant percentage of the total waste stream that goes to landfills.
This flies flat on the face of the worldwide insistence by society that construction should become more environmentally friendly, more in particular, to minimize construction waste together with a commercial need to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
Illegal dumping on the other hand is becoming a serious problem in South African open spaces as perpetrators try to avoid transport and disposal costs to manage construction and demolition waste.
Recycling and re-use of construction waste plays a vital role in reducing the usage of energy, reducing the requirement of land for landfills, as well as the reduction of extraction of natural resources. The recycling and re-use of materials is beneficial since it puts material waste back into the production cycle. In other words, part of the un-used materials on site is accounted for.
Stones and Stones is Recycling Demolition and Construction Waste.
The Plant is located on Crownwood Road, Crownmines and started operating in May 2007. Stones and Stones is under License from Waste Hub Johannesburg; we also had an inspection of our premises and operation by representatives of GDACE, which has given their approval subject to certain conditions however.
Our process is relatively simple:
We accept Clean and Mixed Builder’s Rubble from all Waste Management and Construction Companies at nominal handling costs to these companies. The material is then screened and the waste which cannot be recycled is removed and disposed of at the designated landfill sites. The rest of the material is sorted and the builder’s rubble is processed through crushing and selected screening. The products generated from the process are tested regularly to meet the requirements of the Civil Engineering Industry.
