What We Recycle

Cardboard Recycling

We collect and recycle waste cardboard in bales. These can be mill-sized or smaller, depending on the overall weight. We also collect plastic waste on the same vehicle, to reduce the carbon footprint of collection.

Hard Plastic

We recycle most types of hard plastic material including HDPE, PP, PVC, ABS & PMMA. Usually these need to be separated before collection.

LDPE Film

Baled LDPE film of varying grades can be collected with your other plastic. This includes shrink wrap, packaging and other soft films.

Laminated films & reels

We recycle most grades of laminated films on reels or in bales. This includes PET, HDPE, LDPE & cross linked polymers.

Plastic Pallets

Broken end of life pallets can be problematic to dispose of. We have a national recycling solution which is cost effective & environmentally sound.

Waste paper

As well as plastic, we recycle a whole range of waste paper material. This includes office papers, mixed paper, redundant magazines and newspapers.

Farm Plastics

Silage wrap, crop cover, polytunnel, HDPE canisters & fertiliser bags are all materials we can recycle for the farming sector.

PVC & uPVC Plastic

Plastic Expert recycles most grades of PVC and uPVC plastic materials. Bales are collected nationwide.

FAQ

Where does the waste material go?

We have a network of licenced processing facilities within the UK. The destination depends on the type, quantity and quality of material. We can provide a full audit trail to satisfy our customer requirements.

What is the minimum collection?

Usually we collect a minimum of 4-5 tonnes of waste plastic, cardboard or paper. This does vary slightly depending on the quantity, quality and type of waste material.

Where do you collect from?

We collect from all over the UK using our back-haul network. Each location will differ with cost, however, we can collect multiple waste steams on one truck. Our team will ensure the most cost effective option is offered.

How much does your service cost?

For some materials we can offer a rebate, for others there is a collection charge. Our service is usually more cost effective than using a general waste collector. If you’d like a quote for a specific collection, please get in touch.

Do you collect different waste streams on one truck?

Yes and we highly recommend doing this where possible. For most of our customers, we can collect cardboard, paper and plastic all on the same truck. All we ask is that it’s segregated when baled or palletised.

Can we deliver to you?

Depending on your location, delivering directly into a recycling facility maybe a good option. Please let us know the waste materials you have and the location they’re stored. Your account manager can then give some options for delivery.
