Facility both languages Welsh and English but this one is more for household waste and recycling so if you are a homeowner and you want to take stuff to the tip like that this is your entrance a cyclist hey po hi youit hello I like this you got all sorts on
There ain’t you what’s your name Daniel Daniel nice to meet you Daniel I sh you around as well my friend nice to meet you too what is it what’s that is that just a it’s just bad just bag for rubbish and not rubbish uh get some BS and you got extra lights
As well have you yeah extra lights gives a blast then let’s have a look oh they’re powerful a’t they yeah yeah what brings you down this neck of the woods not done reom yet mate not done reom is this a aftermarket thing yeah yeah that’s all aftermarket okay
You can Ram raid yourself into some sort of jewelry shop or I wish what is it 125 yeah the nmax I did video on the nmax is coming off the Laura this is the 2023 model what is it speed wise it’s all right 7 or all right yeah nice one mate
Yeah Kelloggs obviously drew me here I went to the net Sports they have this giv me an internal tour and that will not bad then yeah soon as I seen the bike is that I know that bike oh was you’re passing and saw it no no I work
Here oh do you yeah yeah I work in the back give me a tour then it’s not down to me I’m afraid so uh I’ll stay outside mate I’m not going to come on cuz I know these are busy places aren’t there a lot of vehicles moving around this is with
The council and stuff like that so it is busy what do you actually do here it’s the you know where all your black bins and all your garden waste and anything that can be recycled does get recycled so homeowners obviously bring their stuff but do the council Loris
Also tip yeah yeah the council L tip inside they go obviously go over the way Bridge get weighed and then they get sent to whichever department they go to so you’ve got separation processes yeah yeah there’s uh as you go through the gate you got the main warehouses over
There which is where all your black bins all your Council by bins go and then on the other side you’ve got like your your what can I say green waste food waste cans anything that’s recyclable get recycl it’s the same year it all get separated here onto the skips and stuff
Like that yeah it’s nice if the um the members of the public actually put it in the correct Skip and that does it for you but you know in black bags you could have some tin cans you should could have some paper so you separate it here do
You it all gets separated actually in the manually or yeah yeah obviously you use magnets and stuff don’t you yeah we use magnets for like some of the the metal and stuff like that anything that’s in your black bin a lot of people think it’s non recyclable which it
Actually is so should anything in your black bin gets recycled yeah or you try like food and stuff none of it goes to none of this goes to lill n of not even food nope all goes uh into compost right so we actually make this facility on
Site that those compost as well that’s a big claim nothing goes to landfill yeah wow so you’re actually hands on doing the separating no I’m actually part of the uh de clean maintenance Team all right okay so we actually when the plant goes down at 5:00 we go in we clean the
Machines every day every single day Monday to Friday and then Saturday morning whatever doesn’t get done on Friday night it come back in suay morning keeps them in tip toop condition then don’t it y makes them last longer less downtime as well yeah so is it just
You on the team or no no there’s another uh five of us so so six in total six in total doing the cleaning every day Y what I will do I will go and have a word with my boss to see if they’ll be
Able to come in with you at the gate and then see if they can give you the tour you can do mate but if they are busy please don’t put them out oh no no I’ll see what they say well just from what you have said to
Be fair we’ll do great cuz everyone would be like wow so who who operates this RCC or is that FCC FCC FCC environmental they’re based in Doncaster and do they have control of many of these places uh as far as I’m aware they’ve got this one and there’s two on
The outskirts of rexon that we’ve got as well which is just to reuse you know the recycle sensors yeah you’re trying to recycle as much as possible aren you and obviously with the metal you’re earning you even earn from cardboard don’t you as far as I’m aware yeah so there’s a
Business in it somewhere and can trade come as well and pay to tip no they’ve got a it’s household waste only only no trade no trade but obviously the council pay you don’t there to tip every it’s part of a it’s so I believe it’s Council property but
FCC maintain it and operate it yeah yeah okay nice one mate yeah thank you so much problem take care I forgot his name but that’s all we ask for just the basics you know tell us the great things of what you you do and he did that absolutely
Perfectly we don’t need to go on we don’t need to get in the way we can see down here we’ve got some sort of smoking bucket so we do have to highlight anything negative as well not uh not the best place to have you designated smoking area you can see
That a lot of cars are coming and going here and we’ve got this red thing resistance sort of uh fire or first aid let’s have a look emergency plan nice to know in it that they’re prepared for an emergency and they even have a secondhand shop like a charity shop
Reuse is it linked to a charity at all yeah a hospice brilliant so whatever is too good to throw away the staff will be watching as well grabbing it and giving it to the shop to sell we have obviously been spotted I hope I don’t waste anyone’s time
Here let them continue their great work no pedestrian access of course you got to arrive in a car or not at all and they want to know that you live nearby and you’re not traveling from a different County to come to a more relaxed or organized whatever the
Benefit is of comeing here they want to make sure you’re a local resident no smoking no mobile phones yeah awesome so as the ramp takes you onto site you go quite High which of course then you can just throw your stuff in to these which are signposted separated by type scrap metal
They love that one that’ll be what makes them the most money I presume and we’ve got the data Handler details as well FCC environment who have done it very well so far wrong window wrong window yeah you’re not g do you I am mate what’s your name yeah you
Doing wrong what’s up what’s your name Darren thanks for watching Darren there’s the key ring mate let me shake your hand as well yeah I appreciate the viewers yeah I have a feel you do you know I recognize you P yeah yeah and look what’s over there in your wing the
Orange bike oh is that what it is it’s one of the two that normally gets me recognized I I recognize you know yeah yeah the voice as well I don’t know what you doing it’s good fun though and it it’s and it’s entertaining to watch what
Have you just got rid of cardboard that cardboard in that yeah sounds like it’s h well run yeah you’re lucky to have one of these nearby Kelloggs and the net World Sports as well that’s big it’s quite a large industrial estate is it so there you go you’ve answered your own question
Mate nice to meet you have a good day your back windows open as well I’m guilty of doing that myself opening the wrong window FCC environmental got their own Vehicles look on site moving the skips around not sure whether it’s the safest in the world to move around like that
But we’ll let you off and in this field next to me we’ve got these I’ve hav just noticed these hello sure munchin oh that’s a small one look yes don’t often see sheep on Industrial Estates do we hello my friend are you okay you want to be on
YouTube come closer I can’t hear you oh dear anyway if you hear a drone going over it’s only me okay nothing to worry about so on that note let’s get David up and see what this place looks like from the so as always we’ve checked on drone assist there are no flight restrictions
In this area at all the FCC environment tip Brin Lane rexam it’s sounds like it’s a excellent operation that they run here so let’s go and take a look for ourself shall we take off so there we go the entrance for the householders got the gentleman in the BMW looking for the Drone
There giving him the thumbs up we have this vehicle I think that’s a Council vehicle coming back out to clear the fly tips and the house clearances I think that is actually the vehicle that we saw earlier at Kelloggs so yes this is what happens then when you arrive you go around the
Corner down to the bottom and in in at the bottom of the site where you’ll be able to see all the signs facing you or you’ve even got a guy checking you in if you have a trailer or a van I presume you have to show some sort of
Permit that’s the normal thing is it if you’re not sure where to go you can ask him he’ll tell you a number and then you’ll come on to site like you’ve never been to a tip before and depending on the conversation you’ll stop the relevant place they obviously put things in the
Containers as well then maybe he’s got bottles and go into the bottle Bank just there but if you reverse up you can just lob your stuff in yes very good coming into this entrance here where you’ve got the W Bridge you’ll then go around this part into the
Back oh and it’s also joined up just there so we got all these buildings are part of the recycling center and I presume you enter the larger vehicles in one two or three they tip in there and you’ve got lots of sorting going on as you mentioned and yes you have front loaders
Moving the stuff grabbing the stuff assume that’s metal in that one they do treat the metal like gold don’t they but very tidy keeping everything inside so the locals have got nothing to complain about really if smells are contained and the waste is kept undercover contained and everybody is happy aren’t
They you get the gist a very well-run operation Max proud to tell us about it doing daily maintenance to look after the assets that enable the operation to run so smoothly and look at all them solar panels there absolutely fantastic so there you have the whole
Site I’m sure they use this shot for training purposes this is the area for this that and the other feel free if you are watching this video FCC you are welcome to use any of this footage for any purpose that you can think of I’ll try and get your whole sight in one
Shot is that more Wildlife yeah that surely that’s not Black Sheep they do look after the wildlife as well we already met the white sheep down here so anyway let’s get the whole site in one shot do a 360Β° photo for Google Maps and move on that was FCC waste here in
Rexam and what we forgot to look at was the shot there it is great work pulling out all those resellable reusable items loads of bikes loads of go-karts and scooters yeah excellent I love it and whil we’re here let’s just have a look at remember of the public emptying
Trailer loads of metal on there go lad green waste electrical plaster board GH I doubt you can do much with that Wood Plastics cardboard bulky sofas bagged household and more Plastics and a caterpillar 360 on Wheels right I’m going now mate all right thanks for um respecting the rights of the photographer and the Drone flyer and have a good day yeah all right mate take care and that was FCC
Environment recycling center here in rexam ll13 the location of the DJ audits key ring on this video it’s just there so if you are one of the first people to watch the video and you do want the key ring good luck with that the manager did not come
Out uh we don’t really want to waste people’s time anyway so I’m quite glad but it looks a very well-run operation I would say that and fantastic things to be partnered with the charity up there and if you are local and you do want a bargain cycle
Scooter come and check it out the ReUse shop and I’ll leave that one there guys it’s open 8 until 8 it says Monday to Sunday so if you have enjoyed that video do give it a thumbs up for me and I’ll see you on the next one bye-bye for Now

That was great – well done!
Do you want to be on EWE tube?
Great video DJ π
branching out into lambscape photography?
You not done Bournemouth or Poole yet either DJ. LOADS to explore here. Nuffield Industrial Estate in Poole especially π
βCome closer I canβt hear youβ π€£π€£ love it. Youβre baaaaa king mad
Awesome job at recycling. I wish the US did that good of job. I wonβt get on my soapbox about the horrible job we do.
I think the sheep just wanted to GET BACK TO WORK dj π
That sheep was probably the most respectful and polite and sensible person youβve had to date π
Dj..do Kellogg's Trafford park. It's currently under threat of closer and with your exposure it may help.π
The little sheep looks like a Bedlington terrier, lol.
Wrexham is the gift that keeps giving β€
Nice to meet Baaabra and Baaasil
another video from the weirdo… get a job mate
Yes he is the bellend without a life and a tiny penis indeed
Thanks DJ, great video as always, your genuine curiosity is what makes these videos so great…. Notice everything and comment…. We love it!! From people like me born and raised in the UK now living abroad, to shut-in's who can't see the world, to locals who never knew… your format is awesome!
At first l thought they were probably goats,then my wife enlightened me,sheep tails go down and goat tails go up, how random was that ! she's a city girl too.
You do realize you called the sheep wildlifeβ¦lolππ
the interaction with the sheep as they were the site managers that crackep me right up ππ
I love Daniel's bike , nice chap too .
We need a video with a bit of hussle n bustle. Its been a while..
Can't believe you never even offered Shaun the Sheep a keyring, shame on you DJ lol
The sheep interaction hi Shaun π€£
All these pavements your cycling on must be cycle paths DJ?
Does anyone know what model bike DJ uses .?
lock your cycle up john
plasterboard is gypsen ? the more they recycle the less need to dig it up bob
Did you not feel a bit baaaaaarmy talking to sheep
Well you know what they say in Wales where men are men and sheep are nervous
Makes you wonder why the workers don't buy the bikes and sell them on Facebook?
I know you like to stay outside mostly but just to point out 1876 road traffic act defines the velocipede as a vehicle. So you could have ridden the bike in if you wanted to check out the shop. Security was as usual, baaaaaahmy
Some sites have a restriction, on the maximum size of trailer, normally 6 x 4 foot or under, for household waste
