92% of what we take
never sees landfill.
92% of what we collect stays out of landfill. We sort everything, recycle what we can, donate what's usable, and only landfill what's genuinely unsalvageable.
0%
landfill diversion rate
That means for every truck we collect, less than 10% ends up in the ground. The rest gets a second life.
Where does your waste actually go?
We don't just chuck it all in the same hole. Every load gets sorted.
Concrete and Aggregate
Crushed and reprocessed into road base and fill material. Almost nothing wasted.
Metal and Steel
Every piece of metal gets recycled. Scrap steel, aluminium, copper. Nothing goes to landfill.
Timber and Wood
Sorted for reuse, upcycling or chipping. Clean timber goes to building seconds suppliers. Treated timber processed separately.
Charity and Donation
Usable furniture, clothing and household items get donated to local charities. If someone else can use it, we make sure they get it.
How do we sort recyclables from waste?
Collect and Separate
On site, we separate recyclables from general waste as we load. Metal, timber, concrete, e-waste, and donatable items all go in separate sections.
Process and Recover
Materials go to the right facility. Concrete to crushing. Metal to scrap. Timber to building seconds yards. Usable goods to charity partners.
Landfill Last Resort
Only genuinely unsalvageable waste goes to licensed landfill. That's less than 10% of what we collect. Everything else gets a second life.
