A unique, cost effective way to store and remove rubbish
Recycling Pods
When it comes to Waste Storage, the Recycling Pod is one of the best types. It provides excellent security as it is difficult to break or climb. It provides excellent privacy as it consists of one solid sheet of metal. It provides excellent safety as it acts as a solid barrier separating your waste from the outside world. Finally, it provides great flexibility as you can customise the look and get a whole host of different accessories to ensure your Waste Storage suits your needs.
Recycling Pods are the ideal solution
Store waste without an unsightly skip
Recycling Pods are a unique way to store and remove the rubbish. Perfect for slow moving sites that can only have a few exchanges per year or sites that are sensitive to space or image. The Recycling Pod is free of charge to install and there are no rental charges so you are in a win-win situation. You are only invoiced for what is removed by the cubic yard, which means, we only charge for the waste we remove. It is perfect for heavy items that may exceed your wheelie bin weight limits and save you from additional charges. Also, the Recycling Pod is only ever emptied at your request. All types of waste can be placed in the Recycling Pod, Including hazardous / paint/ bulbs / televisions / computers / fridges and even electrical waste that skips on occasion do not allow. We currently have hundreds of Recycling Pods and skips in local schools and care homes.

We charge by weight or volume where as Skip Hire is charged on the size of the skip and not the amount of waste that is put into it. Skips can cause the added hassle and expense of having to apply for a skip permit in advance and you run the risk of fly tipping into the skip.
We class dense types of waste like bricks, rubble, tiles, glass, soil as heavy materials. You can book a skip online alternately.
We remove waste, rubbish and unwanted items from commercial premises, construction sites and domestic houses and gardens.

We can’t collect certain hazardous materials such as paint cans, motor oils, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, medical or biological waste but your local authority can offer advice on how you should dispose of them. Certain items which we can collect are classified as hazardous waste because of the way in which they need to be disposed of. These items include computer monitors, fridges and freezers. There is a supplement rate for these items because our disposal costs are higher.
We take all types of non-hazardous waste. For example, plasterboard, builders, DIY waste, WEEE, furniture, wood, flooring, garden refuse, junk from the house and commercial waste.
We have a fleet of different weight trucks. Majority of the trucks are 3.5 ton Luton Box vans, and we also have 7.5-ton class 1 HGV vehicles for more extensive and heavier collections. Our most giant truck is 40 yards capacity and 18 ton Class 1 HGV.

We are insured to remove rubbish on your property and remove it from your loft, indoor and outside, including the garden.
We do all the loading and sweep up afterwards and generally it is cheaper!
