About
At Salcey protecting the environment is high on our agenda and we work continuously to progress our initiatives. We offer our commercial partners a range of services so that together we are preserving and caring for our environment.

Recycling - Nothing Goes to Waste
At Salcey Waste Management and the efficient use of resources is a priority. We operate a comprehensive recycling process and recycle 100% of the Green waste produced from services delivered for our clients. This material is processed into mulches that are utilised in the landscaping industry and Biomass for electricity production.
Mulching
Mulching is a simple and effective way of maintaining plant health, improving growth, enhancing vitality and ensuring that the grounds to your commercial property are well presented. Organic mulches composed of wood chips, bark, leaves and compost are all suitable mulches for woody and herbaceous landscape plants.
Mulches provide many benefits including:
- Laying mulch to a depth of between 2 - 4 inches is an effective weed suppressant
- Conserves water during hot periods and moderates soil temperature during hot and cold periods
- Eliminates competition between tree roots and grass or other ground covering plants
- Prevents rainfall crusting the topsoil which hinders the germination of seedlings
- Soil fertilization
Our mulch is available in a number of grades, depending on the usage, and we can advise you on the type and quantity needed. Delivery of bulk products can be arranged.
“We have been using Salcey’s tree mulch as a substitute for black peat and have been very satisfied with its quality and appearance. We have also used it successfully as a natural soil conditioner. We would recommend this eco-friendly product to anyone who is concerned about preserving the environment”
Dave Coxon, T C Landscapes
Biomass
Biomass, a renewable energy source, is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms, such as wood waste. At Salcey we recycle woodchip which is sent to energy production centers to be converted into electricity.
