Crushing & Screening
On-Site Material Recycling & Processing
At T.J. Cottis Transport, crushing and screening is delivered directly on site as part of our demolition and groundworks support services.
Using mobile crushing and screening equipment, materials such as concrete, brick, and hardcore are processed where they arise — reducing waste removal, lowering transport movements, and creating reusable material for ongoing works.
This approach improves efficiency while supporting responsible and cost-effective site management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is on-site crushing and screening?
On-site crushing and screening involves processing demolition materials such as concrete, brick, and hardcore directly at the project location. This allows materials to be recycled and reused without being transported off site.
What materials can be crushed?
We can process concrete, brick, hardcore, and site-won materials generated during demolition and groundwork operations.
Can crushed material be reused on site?
Yes. Processed material is commonly reused as sub-base, backfill, temporary roadways, or groundwork preparation material, helping reduce the need for imported aggregates.
Does on-site crushing reduce costs?
Yes. By reducing waste removal volumes and haulage movements, on-site crushing can significantly lower disposal and transport costs while improving efficiency.
Is crushing suitable for all projects?
Crushing is particularly beneficial on demolition and redevelopment projects where large volumes of concrete or hardcore are present. We assess suitability based on site conditions and project requirements.
