Recovering More From the Material We Collect
At LCL, grab hire isn’t simply about collecting material and taking it away.
Suitable soil, stone, concrete and hardcore collected by our grab lorries can be brought back to our operation for sorting and processing.
By combining our own fleet, machinery, screening equipment and material-supply operation, we aim to recover useful products wherever practical and put them back into productive local use.

Collect. Process. Recycle. Supply.
The aim is simple — recover suitable material, reduce unnecessary disposal and create useful products for local projects.
We Collect
Our grab lorries collect suitable material from landscaping, construction and groundwork projects across Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow.
Depending on the material, a grab lorry can uplift approximately 16 tonnes per load.
We Sort & Process
Suitable incoming material can be sorted and processed using our own machinery and screening equipment.
Not everything can be recycled, but where material is suitable, our aim is to recover as much usable product as practical.
We Recover Useful Material
Screening can separate suitable material into reusable products and grades such as soil, stone and hardcore.
Instead of automatically treating everything as waste, we look for the useful material within it.
We Put It Back to Work
Recovered products can then be made available for appropriate landscaping, groundwork and construction applications.
Material comes in, useful products are recovered and suitable material goes back out to local projects.
Useful Products From Suitable Incoming Material
Depending on the material being processed, we can recover a range of products for reuse in suitable local projects.

Screened Soil
Suitable incoming soil can be screened to remove larger stone and unwanted material for appropriate landscaping use.

Recycled Hardcore / 6F2
Recovered hardcore can provide a practical material option for suitable groundwork and construction uses.

Stone & Aggregate Products
Suitable stone and aggregate materials can be recovered and supplied for appropriate local projects.

Keeping Suitable Material in Productive Use
One of the advantages of operating both grab hire and material supply is that LCL is involved at both ends of the process.
A landscaping or groundwork project may generate soil and hardcore that needs removed. Where suitable, material can come back through our operation for processing.
Recovered material can then potentially be supplied for another appropriate local project rather than being treated purely as waste.
Recovering Useful Soil From Local Projects
Garden renovations, driveway installations, groundworks and construction projects can generate large quantities of soil.
Where soil is suitable for processing, it can be screened to remove larger stone and unwanted material.
Recovered soil can then be used for appropriate landscaping applications, with availability varying depending on incoming material and conditions.

Recovering More From Construction Material
Construction and landscaping projects can generate significant quantities of stone, hardcore and concrete.

Hardcore
Suitable hardcore can be separated and processed for potential reuse rather than automatically being treated as material for disposal.

Stone
Useful stone can be recovered from suitable incoming loads and processed into material for appropriate applications.
Concrete
Suitable concrete can be separated for further processing as our recycling operation continues to develop.
Contact our team before booking so we can assess exactly what material you need removed.
Making Better Use of Material Already in Motion
For suitable applications, recycled materials can provide a practical alternative while helping recover useful products from local waste streams.
Recover Useful Material
Make better use of soil, stone and hardcore already coming through the operation.
Reduce Unnecessary Disposal
Suitable material can be recovered rather than automatically being treated as waste.
Local Material Supply
Recovered products can stay within local landscaping, construction and groundwork projects.
Competitive Options
Recycled products can create useful and competitively priced material options where appropriate.
Clear the Site and Keep the Project Moving
LCL can remove suitable waste using our grab fleet and also supply the aggregates and materials required for the next stage of your project.
Excavated soil out → Type 1 back in
Hardcore out → Sand or aggregates delivered
Concrete and stone out → Sub-base materials back in
Instead of organising several different suppliers, speak to one local team.

Send Us Photos Before Booking
What we can accept depends on the type, condition and composition of the material.
Tell us exactly what you need removed and send clear photographs where possible. Our team can then assess the material and advise before collection is arranged.
