Services
Waste Collection
We provide tailored waste collection solutions for businesses of all sizes. Our services include dry waste exchange, trade waste, and packaging recycling. Non-hazardous waste is sorted at our licensed Materials Recycling Facility, where recyclable materials are recovered and residual waste is baled for energy recovery. This ensures compliance with pre-treatment legislation while helping businesses reduce costs and environmental impact.
Recycling Recovery
Our advanced Materials Recycling Facility recovers valuable resources from general waste streams. We process metal, wood, plastic, cardboard, paper, rubber, and glass, sending only non-recyclable fractions to energy-from-waste facilities. This approach minimises landfill use and supports businesses in achieving Zero Waste to Landfill targets while meeting sustainability and compliance requirements through best environmental practices.
Skip Hire
We offer a wide selection of skips and Rollonoff containers for non-hazardous waste. From mini skips to large 25 CuYd containers, our team provides expert advice on size selection, waste types, permits, and compliance. Skips are delivered and collected efficiently to keep projects on track while ensuring safe, sustainable waste management aligned with your operational needs.
Hazardous Waste
Our fully licensed Atherstone facility handles hazardous waste including chemicals, WEEE, gas cylinders, and industrial waste in drums or IBCs. We provide tanker services, jetting, and bespoke disposal solutions under strict environmental permits. This ensures safe, compliant management of high-risk materials while offering businesses peace of mind through expert handling and regulatory adherence.
Metal Recycling
At our Glascote site, we operate a dedicated scrap metal processing facility. Using fixed plants and in-pit weighbridges, we handle ferrous and non-ferrous metals with secure yard storage and processing capabilities. This service supports circular economy goals by recovering valuable materials from waste streams while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and industry standards.
