Shredding services
Bulky waste items take up space and cost more to move in one piece.
Shredding breaks large, awkward items down into manageable material – reducing waste volume, improving safety and making disposal or reuse far more efficient.
From mattresses to tyres, Smallmon Brothers handles the material most people don’t want to deal with.
How shredding works
Shredding is about reducing size.
Large, hard-to-handle items are processed into smaller pieces so they’re easier to transport, store, recycle or dispose of.
Depending on the material and the job, shredding can:
- strip metal from mixed items
- reduce waste to a consistent size
- prepare material for recycling or landfill
- improve handling and storage
Mattress and lounge shredding
Mattresses and lounges are some of the most difficult items to manage at landfill and transfer sites.
They’re bulky, awkward to stack and made from mixed materials.
Shredding helps by:
- dramatically reducing volume
- separating materials like metal and fabric
- improving landfill efficiency
- lowering handling and disposal costs
This service is commonly used by:
- councils and landfill sites
- waste transfer stations
- large clean-up programs
Shredded material becomes far easier to manage.
Tyre shredding
Whole tyres create storage and handling problems. They trap air, don’t compact well and can create fire and safety risks when stockpiled.
Tyre shredding:
- reduces volume significantly
- improves storage and handling
- prepares tyres for recycling or reuse
- lowers risk at landfill and stockpile sites
