Recycling

Currently we divert over 70% of everything we uplift from landfill.

Strong partnerships with local charities and other local community-based organisations enable us to redistribute items of potential value, such as clothing and furniture, to people who can benefit.

These can be materials such as timber, metals, paper, and cardboard.

What happens to my ‘good’ junk?

We partner with various charitable organisations to which we donate any useable furniture that we collect. Some very well known organisations such as the British heart foundation and Oxfam benefit from donations of books/clothing and bric a brack whilst our useable furniture is donated to the Glasgow and Edinburgh Furniture initiatives that assist low income families furnish their homes.

One of our primary goals is to increase landfill diversion. We can do this a number of ways. We only purchase new low emission vehicles. We only use transfer stations with particularly high onsite recycling rates. We donate as many useable items as we possibly can. Our offices are as paper free as possible and have been kitted out by recycled items from our office clearances. We meet on a regular basis with The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) to ensure that we are up to date with any changes in legislation and doing everything we possibly can to help the environment.
