WASTE MANAGEMENT

We operate a large covered transfer station that is fully licensed by the Environment Agency. We process and sort all forms of commercial waste delivered via skips and roll-on-offs. Waste is sorted shredded, screened hand picked and remotely segregated to ensure that the absolute minimum goes to landfill.

We also accept self-delivered waste, providing you possess a valid waste carriers licence. We charge according to the type of waste as follows. Mixed, green, inert (soils, hardcore,), clean wood, dirty wood (MDF, chipboard,), clean cardboard, clean plasterboard.

We segregate on site for recycling:

• Metal
• Wood
• Plasterboard
• Inert hardcore & soil
• Hard & soft plastics
• Cardboard

We also operate a small waste transfer station at Marsh Lane Clutton. We can also provide containers for the direct disposal of hazardous materials like asbestos, tyres, paints and oils.

Here at Towens we are proud of our history and record in waste management and construction services, our association with Weston Super Mare, its business council and residents. Mainarea Ltd trading as Towens of Weston began on 14th July1992 from a small yard on the Weston Europark. We did pretty much anything in the early days, except skips as Andy Towens was not permitted to compete with his previous employer under the terms of his severance. At this time Woodspring District were very supportive finding various civil engineering works for us to carry out.

In 1994 Towens merged with C-T plant a local plant hire company and the operation was moved to a small depot on Rectors way. In 1997 we purchased two plots of land in Warne Road, moved in and began the skip side of the business. Soon after the millennium we were able to purchase some of the old Hutton Moor allotment land which backed onto our plot and it is this site that we occupy today.

In 2002 following 8 years of steady growth Mainarea Ltd changed to the two operating companies Towens of Weston Ltd and Towens Waste Management Ltd that you see today.

We handle well over half a million tonnes of waste and recycled aggregate per year and have developed the site into a fully functioning trade waste processing and recycling facility. In 2012 we were successful in purchasing the old council transport depot opposite our main site and expanded our operation further. 2015 saw the completion of our own vehicle maintenance workshop on the site of one of the original 2 plots purchased in 1997 and the formation of Towens Fleet Services Ltd.
