More Information

Recycled paper and board supply approximately 74% of the 6.2 million tonnes of paper manufactured in the UK annually. A further 8 million tonnes are imported.

Paper waste is sent to a paper mill where it is pulped, decontaminated, and combined with new pulp from fresh wood to maintain quality.

Most paper can be recycled, but some is more complex to reuse than others. It is not usually cost-effective to recycle papers coated with plastic or aluminium foil, or containing wax, paste or gum.

Bring your mixed glass into the depot for free and easy disposal, or contact us now to arrange for weekly, monthly or one-off collections.

More Information

The reason we can accept mixed glass, and also forms of glass not accepted by many other recyclers, is that is it used as ‘glassphalt’ (a type of hardcore) for road-building.

New glass is made from sand, ash, and limestone. Iron, chromium and cobalt are added for colour, alumina for durability, and boron to enhance thermal properties.

Unlike most other reclaimed material, glass can be recycled indefinitely as its quality does not deteriorate when reprocessed. Bottle and jar manufacturing processes can use up to 80% reclaimed glass (known in the trade as “cullet”).

Waste Watch estimates that 315kg of CO2 is saved per tonne of glass melted.

Recycling aluminium uses just 5% of the energy and CO2 emissions
generated by primary production. Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely
without degradation, and is also the most cost-effective material to recycle. Recycling a single aluminium saves enough energy to run a television for three hours.

Every tonne of steel recycled saves 1.5 tonnes of iron ore and half a tonne of coal. It also saves 40% of the water and 75% of the energy required for new steel production, and reduces the air and water pollution by about 80%.

Farm & Commercial

We also accept clean farm plastics like plastic feed sacks, and the large woven one-tonne polypropylene fertiliser/builders’ sacks. We supply DEFRA & EA-approved waste transfer documentation as part of the service – just ring us first to give us some notice.

More Information

Packaging represents the largest single sector of plastics use in the UK. The sector accounts for 35% of UK plastics consumption and plastic is the material of choice in nearly half of all packaged goods. One tonne of plastics is equivalent to 20,000 two litre drinks bottles or 120,000 carrier bags – and 1.8 tonnes of oil are saved for every tonne of polythene which is recycled.

There are about 50 different groups of plastics, with hundreds of different varieties within those groups.



All types of plastic are recyclable, and are used to make polyethylene bin liners and carrier bags, flooring and window frames, insulation board, CD cases, fencing and garden furniture, seed trays, anoraks and fleeces, and fibre filling for sleeping bags and duvets.
