Waste removal and recycling in London & the UK

Recycling your rubbish with us is EASY!

We make it easy for you to recycle your rubbish with us. You can essentially outsource recycling your rubbish (bulky waste) to us.

We launched in 2006, when recycling of waste was MUCH harder, but it has increased a lot due to Landfill Tax. (Although this has made waste disposal more expensive, it means that landfill is now slightly more expensive than recycling. As a result, the transfer stations and recycling facilities that we use, now recycle more than ever: approximately 94% – 100%).

So what happens to the waste we collect?

  • Some is reused – The best result for us and the planet.
  • Some is recycled – Second best result eg: metal, hard core, some plastics.
  • Some is burned for energy – waste to energy eg: waste wood.
  • Some is burned for disposal – eg: needles/sharps.
  • The small amount that can’t be treated as above is sent to landfill.

Examples of how we recycle your rubbish

  • Furniture recycling: We assess all old furniture (that you haven’t sold/given away) for reuse or recycling.  Most old furniture we collect is beyond re-use and so we ensure it is recycled (normally into timber and textiles). To book, see our special offer Sofa Removal Service. For large scale disposal projects (like a large hotel clearance) we can even source re-use partners BEFORE we collect to ensure the best result.
  • Metal recycling: We recycle hundreds of tonnes of metal from your rubbish each year . The cost to cover the labour time extracting small quantities, is recouped from the value of the metal recycled. TOP TIP: Always try to keep waste metal separate – this increases the chance of maximum recycling.
  • Monitor recycling (eg: TFTs CRTs etc):We collect unwanted CRTs, TFTs for recycling all over London. All TVS & monitors contain small amounts of hazardous waste that must be disposed of safely.
  • I.T. & WEEE disposal and recycling: Since January 2014 the new laws for Waste Electrical & End of life Equipment (WEEE) came into force. Companies and households are obligated to dispose of all I.T. and WEEE goods in safely in accordance with the EU legislation. We collect unwanted electrical and WEEE goods all over London and separate them for recycling, re-use & safe disposal.
  • Paper & cardboard recycling: We collect card /paper for recycling in small and large quantities, mostly as part of bigger office waste clearances. Whenever possible try to have paper bagged or boxed separately. If mixed with other waste, or in small quantities, it’s harder to guarantee 100% recycling.  Mixed waste will still be recycled, but with a lower % due to machine separation.

Our target is to recycle more than our competitors and find new ways of increasing re-use. If you have any suggestions please do get in touch. 

Office recycling service and waste disposal

We provide data destruction & secure hard drive destruction in addition to our waste disposal service. Many of our clients remove the hard drives themselves, leaving us to recycle the old PC, but we can do either or both.
