Green Credentials

• About us

• 

• Green credentials

• Currently more than 85% of materials we collect avoid landfill through reuse, recycling and 'waste to energy' incineration
• Our environmental management systems are ISO 14001 accredited
• ‘Waste Management & Recycling Company of the Year’ finalist in 2010 and 2011 National Recycling Awards

Minimising waste to landfill

• We segregate recyclables (such as wood, metal, WEEE) for separate disposal at dedicated recycling facilities
• Mixed general waste that is not easily segregated is taken to MRFs and commercial waste transfer stations that prioritise recycling and waste to energy incineration
• Our truck team staff are financially incentivised to minimise waste to landfill

Reducing our impact on the environment

• Vast majority of our office furniture, equipment and stationery is reused junk – not hard to guess if you visit our offices!
• Our size and sophisticated routing systems mean average miles per collection is typically much lower than smaller clearance companies
• We use specially designed, modern low emission vehicles

Good quality furniture, textiles and electrical appliances is passed to reuse organizations and charities like Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation
