Sapphire Utility Solutions, working in collaboration with JHL, has launched the compact Urban Recycler, or CityRECycler 206, for roadside gully cleaning duty.
The Urban Recycler has a positive impact on the environment, due to a reduction in both clean water usage and the amount of waste to landfill, according to Colin Kelly, managing director of Sapphire Utility Solutions.
The usual approach to cleaning gullies is the deployment of traditional jet-vac units, with limited flexibility and up to 20% of the working day lost, due to the need to draw from the clean water network or by having to take waste to landfill. However, changes in weather patterns with heavier, more intense storms, has challenged the UK highways network to develop a new approach to affordable gully cleaning.
