Frequently asked questions
Your recycling will be collected and taken back to our processing facility in Avonmouth, Bristol.
Mixed recycling will be separated into plastics, metal and cardboard. It will then be processed, baled and sent to our local partner who will reprocess and use to produce new materials.
Glass is sent to a local reprocessing plant who will crush and melt down so that it can be remoulded into new glass.
Food waste is taken to our local processing plant where it is turned into biogas to power local homes and bio-fertiliser for local farmland.
Usable IT equipment is wiped and cleaned and then either sold through our Reuse Shops or donated through our Digital Inclusion Scheme. The remaining IT non-working equipment will be recycled through approved recycling routes.
Coffee cups are baled and then sent to a reprocessing company who removes the plastic and converts 95% back into paper.
