Where our waste goes

We do not just take it away and forget about it. As a fully licensed waste carrier, CBDU544986, every load is handled properly. We follow the waste hierarchy and use licensed waste transfer stations where it is sorted for recycling.

The waste hierarchy

Reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, dispose

On every job we work down the waste hierarchy, aiming to keep as much material as possible out of landfill.

  1. 1Reduce
  2. 2Reuse
  3. 3Recycle
  4. 4Recover
  5. 5Dispose
No secrets

The sites we actually use

Plenty of firms say "licensed disposal" and leave it there. Here is where your waste genuinely ends up.

GBM Waste Management

Boundary Lane, South Hykeham, Lincoln. A permitted waste transfer station and our main disposal site, where loads are weighed, tipped and sorted.

Enva

Licensed waste transfer and recycling, used for sorted and specialist waste streams that need handling separately.

These are the two sites we use most. Depending on the job and what is in the load, we sometimes use other permitted transfer stations as well. All of them are licensed.

Licensed & compliant

Taken to licensed transfer stations, every time

Every load we collect goes to a licensed waste transfer station, where it is sorted and sent on to the right destination.

Licensed transfer stations

We do not fly-tip and we do not cut corners. Waste goes to permitted facilities where it is professionally sorted for recycling and recovery.

Fully licensed carrier

We are a registered, fully licensed waste carrier, registration number CBDU544986, so your waste is handled legally from start to finish. You can check it on the public register.

Reuse before recycling

If something still has life in it, we would rather it went to someone who wants it. With your permission, usable items are donated or passed on instead of tipped.

Straight talk

What we can't take, and why a few items cost more

We take almost everything. A handful of things we can't take by law, and a few cost a little extra because they need specialist handling. Full detail on our what we take page.

We can't take

  • Paint and other chemicals
  • Gas canisters
  • Asbestos
  • Large quantities of food waste
  • Human waste
  • Motor oil and similar oils
  • Lithium batteries (ordinary car batteries are fine)

A little extra for these, and why

  • Mattresses. Increasingly restricted from general waste, so they need their own disposal route.
  • Fridges and freezers. Classed as electrical waste. The gas has to be safely removed before disposal.
  • Sofas and foam furniture. Under the POPs regulations, older foam-filled furniture has to be incinerated rather than recycled.
  • Tyres. Regulated separately, with their own recycling process rather than general waste.

Still not sure about something? Ask us. You do not need a job lined up, and there is nothing to pay for an answer.
