Waste Streams
Everything you need to manage your waste
Wood
From offcuts and pallets to crates, furniture, and demolition timber, wood waste comes in many forms and can quickly pile up taking up valuable space and driving up disposal costs.
Food
Legislation in the UK dictates that food waste now needs to be separated for collection. To improve recycling rates and reduce harmful gasses going into the atmosphere, there are alternative means to managing your food waste.
Cardboard
While it’s fully recyclable, unflattened and uncompacted cardboard takes up excessive space in bins and skips, leading to higher collection costs and inefficient storage.
Plastic
Plastic is one of the most common and versatile materials in commercial and industrial operations—but it’s also one of the most problematic when not managed correctly. From shrink wrap and packaging to bottles and containers, plastic waste can quickly accumulate and take up valuable space
Glass
Glass waste refers to discarded glass materials, such as bottles, jars, and broken glass, that are no longer in use. Instead of ending up in landfill, this waste can be collected, cleaned, and crushed into small pieces known as cullets. These cullets are then melted down and used to manufacture new glass products, making glass one of the most recyclable materials available and helping to significantly reduce the need for raw materials and energy.
Metals
Metal waste such as aluminium cans, steel food cans, paint tins, and light gauge drums are a common by product in sectors like manufacturing, catering, and automotive. While these materials are fully recyclable, their shape and strength often make them awkward to store and expensive to transport in loose form.
Polystyrene
Polystyrene waste, particularly expanded polystyrene (EPS), presents a unique challenge for businesses due to its low density and high volume. Although it’s lightweight — made up of around 98% air — this material takes up excessive space in bins and skips, making transport inefficient and disposal costly.
General
General waste includes all non-recyclable, non-hazardous materials produced in day-to-day operations typically items like contaminated packaging, mixed refuse, and non recyclable plastics. While it offers no rebate value, reducing the volume of general waste is essential for lowering disposal costs and minimising environmental impact.
