Waste Sorting
Otherwise known as Total Facilities Management, VES will place labourers as well as necessary supervision on site to manage and minimize the waste streams being generated at a site. This will include sorting waste material, sourcing outlets for recyclables, scheduling collections of waste and recyclables and ensuring that the waste area is kept in a neat condition. Scope of an integrated contract can be expanded to include cleaning services which could involve the supply of ride-on sweepers, operators etc. Sites that are under VES control are automatically included on the ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 audit program and are checked regularly to ensure standards are upheld.

Sensitive Goods Destruction
Included in total facilities contracts is the destruction of sensitive goods that have the potential to get back into the market if their disposal if not managed correctly. Typical products include, food (eg packaged goods such as chocolates nearing sell by date), electronic equipment such as pirated CD’s or hard drives with sensitive information stored on them as well packaging overruns that can be shredded and then recycled instead of guaranteed disposal at landfill.

VES will bring the necessary equipment to site to destroy the products in question. This operation can be witnessed by representatives of the client who will then have peace of mind that there is no chance of the products re-entering the market and thus issues of brand protection and health & safety are dealt with.

Effluent Plant Management
Due to our close relationship with Veolia Water, we are also able to include effluent plant management into an integrated contract. VES will then be responsible for any sludge management requirements due to operation of the plant and also be involved with sludge dewatering where feasible (see industrial services). This will also mean that there is one point of contact for all waste issues at the site.
