We believe the best way to recycle our waste is to separate it into single streams before it leaves our centre, making it easier to collect and process.

Glass Bottle Bins

Suez take any contaminated dry mixed recycling such as cleaning product bottles and also recycle our glass bottles.
Reused Pallets
Wooden Pallets
Our wooden pallets are all returned for reuse. CHEP take our blue pallets and PH Pallets collect our white ones.
Stoneware Waste
Gavin Jones take our stoneware waste and turn it into hardcore for commercial and domestic use.
Staff Room Recycling
Our staff room is equipped with a wide selection of recycling bins. This helps us sort and organise our waste ready for collection. We aim to recycle as much waste as possible from stationary to bottles, cans and food waste.
We send all our empty ink cartridges to Zero Waste Recycling and these are cleaned and repaired to be reused.

Unless materials are separated into single streams, they often go to ‘energy recovery’ rather than be made into new products.
