Waste Management and Recycling
The majority of generated tree waste is perfect for recycling and, of course, helps in some way towards protecting our precious environment. We remove all waste from the sites at which we work and, where possible, recycle it as seasoned firewood or wood chippings for use in the garden, cushioning for play areas or for livery use.
Wildlife Protection
All birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Habitat Regulations 2007 collectively and if breached can result in significant penalties.
Acme will undertake a habitat assessment at all sites before undertaking any work. If protected species or their roosts are discovered whilst undertaking any work, operatives will stop and inform the relevant authorities for further advice.
As part of our commitment to try and encourage more wildlife, where appropriate and practical, we will encourage our customers to leave habitat stumps and log piles.
