Recycling volumes

With our modern waste segregation equipment, space and capability to handle large volumes of materials, we recover and recycle as much of your waste as possible. This ensures that maximum recycling levels are achieved.

Whether you want to sort your materials yourselves or leave that job to us, the same recovery and recycling process applies.

What if your items are reusable?

We have a state-of-the-art Reuse Shop on site that regularly saves items from unnecessary disposal. Therefore, if your materials are in working order, are fixable, or need a little TLC, we will divert them from the waste stream and ensure they end up in our shop.
