Services
Commercial Waste Tipping
Our licensed recycling centres in Tilmanstone and Faversham accept non-hazardous commercial waste from registered carriers. Equipped with weighbridges for accurate material measurement, we process mixed and segregated waste streams to ensure 100% landfill diversion. Businesses benefit from efficient disposal solutions supported by electronic documentation and scalable capacity.
Scrap Metal Recycling
We offer comprehensive scrap metal services using skips, roll-ons, and cage vehicles for commercial clients. Certified scale weights and digital tickets guarantee accurate measurements for ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, aluminium, and copper. Registered carriers can deliver materials directly to our processing facilities.
Recycled Aggregates
Our recycling centres produce crushed hardcore, stone, and screened soils suitable for construction and landscaping projects. Available in bulk quantities for commercial use or smaller loads for domestic customers, these materials represent a sustainable alternative to virgin aggregates with reduced environmental impact.

EKR Commercials provides MOT testing, brake tests, repairs, and servicing for vans, trucks, and HGVs. Our specialist workshop uses modern diagnostic tools and employs technicians with over 20 years' combined experience to minimise fleet downtime and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

We supply 4-16 yard skips and 40-yard roll-on-off containers for construction, demolition, and retail projects. Our fleet includes sealed skips, crane-tested options, and walk-in containers with rapid delivery and collection available across Kent's industrial and residential sectors.

Unfortunately Ive had an absolutely horrible and negative experience with East Kent Recycling. John in the office is extremely rude and unprofessional, even his colleague commented so on the phone in agreement with me, and his emails were incredibly abrupt. The website allowed me to book a skip for Monday under next day delivery and I was informed on Monday that my skip would not be coming. Instead of an apology, a partial refund or any kind of compensation, I was informed told that As you can imagine, we dont work 24/7 so your skip wont be coming. I emailed plenty of times to

Shocking service!! Skip was 2 days late arriving and when it did arrive all the driver did was moan about poor management and ridiculous workload. I then waited 6 days for it to be collected and when they did eventually collect it they drove across my garden causing unnecessary damage.

We hire a lot of skips and I have to say these guys were really great. There was an issue on site with how the site team had loaded the skip and rather then just leave it to us to sort out, the driver came up with a solution and helped implement it. The office were brilliant at keeping us informed too! Excellent!
