The company will open sites at Ashbury in Greater Manchester and Costessey in Norfolk, both of which are scheduled to begin accepting material from March 2026.
The facilities will take in clean, uncontaminated waste streams from construction activity, including stone, brick, rubble, concrete and utility arisings.
At each location, incoming material will be sorted and segregated before being processed using mobile screening and crushing equipment.
The resulting recycled aggregate will then be made available for use in new construction projects, providing an alternative to primary materials and helping to reduce reliance on virgin aggregate extraction.
Chris Burgess, Circular Economy Commercial Manager at Breedon, commented: “These new sites mark a crucial step in how we’re developing our offering of more sustainable products and solutions through developing our commitment to a circular economy approach.”
Construction waste sites to sit alongside normal activities
Both sites will continue to operate their existing core businesses alongside the new recycling activity.
Costessey will remain a ready-mix concrete plant, while Ashbury will continue as an aggregates and ready-mix site.
The company explained that the recycling operations will utilise previously unused areas within each site, meaning there will be no impact on existing product availability for customers.
Burgess added: “By repurposing unused space at existing operations, we’re creating practical routes for clean construction materials to be recovered and reused, while continuing to serve our customers with the products they rely on today.
“We want to support our customers in managing residual materials more sustainably, while also using innovative methods to create value from our own operations.”
The new facilities build on Breedon’s existing network of five inert waste sites across the UK, which have been in operation for more than a decade.
These sites have primarily supported landfill and quarry restoration activities, forming part of the group’s wider approach to waste management and resource efficiency.
