Services
Recycling
We process non-hazardous construction waste into reusable materials through advanced sorting facilities. Our operations transform builder rubble and amenity waste into Type 1 aggregates and backfill products. This service supports Wales' circular economy while maintaining British Standards certification for quality assurance.
Aggregates
Our blue pennant sandstone quarry produces high-specification aggregates for road construction. The scarce sandstone ensures road surfaces are safer and more durable. Combined with waste tipping operations, we provide essential materials for infrastructure projects across South Wales.
Renewable Energy
We generate renewable electricity through anaerobic digestion of food waste and cattle slurry. This process creates British Standard certified digestate biofertiliser while solar PV installations reduce grid dependency. Our facilities contribute to Wales' renewable energy targets through sustainable waste-to-energy solutions.
Farming
Price & Co Farming maintains a prize-winning Holstein Friesian herd producing milk for Sainsbury's stores. This agricultural foundation supports our waste management operations through integrated land management practices that combine modern farming with environmental stewardship.
Environmental Management
We implement extensive environmental initiatives including 100,000+ tree planting and peat-bog conservation. Our ISO-certified management systems ensure compliance with strict environmental standards while community projects support local sports and grassroots organisations across Gelligaer.
