Where Does Waste Go?

We’re pleased to release this document, as it showcases our carefully planned journey for your waste when it is handled by our expert network of sustainable partners and how the processed output contributes to the circular economy.

Why Is Recycling Important

Recycling is a cornerstone of a circular economy, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible. This emphasises the beneficial role recycling has for our environment.

We have updated our figures and information regarding our operations and the impact of recycling. This highlights the benefits your waste collections have on our planet when recycled properly.

Some Useful (& Sustainable) Advice…
