Need a serious amount of soil or rubble shifted in Holbeach? Grab hire moves it in one visit. Our grab lorries carry up to 16 tonnes of inert waste per load, lifted straight from your site by a 6 metre hydraulic arm. Loading takes around 15 to 20 minutes when access is clear, and there is no manual handling at all.
BSH Recycling is a family owned waste management firm based in Bourne, Lincolnshire, trading since 2002. We have covered South Holland for years with skips, commercial waste collections and grab hire in Holbeach and the villages around it. Out here the work is a mix, building jobs in town, growers and packhouses needing yards cleared, and rural properties with soil and hardcore that has built up over years.
Three things, mostly.
Labour. Loading 10 tonnes of muck into skips by barrow is a full day for two people. The grab arm does it in 20 minutes while you have a cup of tea.
Permits. A skip on the road needs a council permit. A grab lorry loads and leaves in one visit, nothing stays on the highway, so for most jobs there is no permit to arrange or pay for.
Trips. One grab load equals roughly two full 8 yard inert skips. Fewer vehicle movements, one booking, one payment.
The flipside is that grabs only take inert material. Soil, clay, brick, concrete, hardcore, sand and aggregates, yes. Timber, plastics, general waste, no. That still needs a skip. On jobs that produce both, run two piles and order both services. It costs less than mixing everything together, because contaminated muck gets charged at the mixed waste rate.
A good share of our grab work around Holbeach comes from agricultural and horticultural customers, and the service suits that world well. Yard scrapings, broken concrete pads, old track material and stockpiled soil all load straight from the heap. The arm reaches over a wall or fence of about 10ft where the lorry can pull alongside, and it reaches 6 metres at full stretch, so material along drove edges and field entrances is usually accessible without anything being moved first.
The lorries are 32 tonne, 8-wheeled vehicles, so they handle farm tracks and yards comfortably. Our operators are trained and certified, and they will judge soft ground sensibly before committing the lorry. They have worked enough fen edge sites to know when to say no, which protects your land as much as our vehicle.
One access point to check before booking. The lorry needs 11ft of clear width, free of low branches and overhead lines. Most yards and droves around Holbeach pass easily. Older streets in town are worth a quick measure.
Every load we collect goes back to our registered waste transfer station in Bourne. Soil and rubble are sorted, processed and crushed, and much of the material comes back into use as recycled 6F5 hardcore and aggregates. Up to 99.9% of what we handle avoids landfill.
We are ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified and FORS accredited, and every load comes with proper waste documentation. That matters in South Holland, where fly tipping on droves and field entrances is a known problem and enforcement traces dumped waste back to the producer. With us, your spoil has a paper trail from your gate to the recycling line.
Payment is taken at the point of hire, card or BACS. We do not take cash on arrival.
The vehicle that removes your waste can also deliver. We supply topsoil and aggregates across the Holbeach area, including recycled 6F5 for tracks, yards and sub bases. Taking the old track out and bringing the new stone in on one booking is a popular combination, and it cuts the transport cost roughly in half compared with two separate hires.
Call 01778 394044, or send an enquiry through our contact page. Tell us the material, rough quantity and access. Photos of the heap and the entrance help us price it accurately first time. Next day service is normally available.
We cover Holbeach and the surrounding villages, including Whaplode, Moulton, Fleet Hargate, Gedney, Holbeach St Marks and Sutton Bridge, plus Spalding and Long Sutton. The full list is on our areas covered page.
If part of your job needs a skip as well, we deliver skips across South Holland from 2 to 40 cubic yards with next day delivery. One firm, one number, the whole waste job handled.
The BSH Recycling Grab Lorries are 32 tonne, 8 wheeled vehicles can carry a maximum of 16 tonnes, ideal for transporting and unloading large quantities of inert material quickly. With a 6-meter arm, the Grab Lorry Operator can retrieve material for locations with tight access without the need to manual load skips.
The main purpose of the BSH Recycling Grab Lorry is to remove large quantities of inert material from site.
You will need 11ft to allow our vehicles access. It will also need to be free from low hanging branches, power lines and manhole covers to prevent obstruction.
Services must be paid for at the point of hire, either by debit/credit card over the telephone or BACS payment. BSH Recycling DO NOT accept cash upon arrival.
At full extension, the grab arm can reach 6 meters to retrieve waste from hard to access locations.
If the BSH Recycling Grab Lorry is able pull alongside the obstacle, it is able to reach material over a height of approximately 10ft, however, this can be affected by additional factors.
If the material is accessible and free from obstruction, it may take approximately 15-20 minutes to load a grab lorry however this can fluctuate, depending upon the material, access and additional factors.
