WASTE management specialist TJ Group has rolled out a new commercial recycling facility in Hampshire.

The firm, which runs a branded fleet of nearly 100 vehicles, has opened the new site at the Blashford sand and gravel quarry near Ringwood.

The Fareham-based company has also signed up to a second newly-leased site at Tipner in Portsmouth.

John Gosling, the company’s managing director, said: “Our recycling facility at Blashford means we can spread our wings further into Dorset in the west and Wiltshire in the north, opening up new commercial opportunities.

“There is increasing demand for recycling aggregate from companies looking to reduce their carbon footprints, with Blashford Quarry ideally placed to service local demand.”
