Trommel Fines Treatment can further reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.  Trommel fines contain inert material such as stones, aggregates, glass and soils which are naturally occurring. Trommel fines can also contain fibres, films, plastics, wood and textiles.

Trommel Fines Treatment – Why do it?

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) introduction of LOI Testing enforces legislation for the disposal of these fines, resulting in a serious hike in costs for the waste management industry.

The lower rate tax will only be applicable if;

• the producer can demonstrate the trommel fines comprise predominantly of glass, ceramics, concrete or naturally occurring rocks and soil.
• It is most likely that the presence of anything other than minor amounts of other contaminants will result in the fines being taxed at the standard rate.
