Responsible recycling and dumping

When items are dumped irresponsibly, they harm our beautiful city's landscape and natural habitats. However, by choosing to recycle, we can prevent tons of waste from being dumped in landfills. Recycling not only reduces the strain on our landfills but also conserves valuable resources, such as energy and water.

By actively participating in recycling programs, you contribute to a cleaner and healthier Glasgow. Our expert team ensures that recyclable materials are removed and sorted correctly, leaving your premises cleared of unnecessary clutter while promoting eco-friendly solutions.

Together, let's make a difference and create a greener future for Glasgow. Join us in our commitment to recycling, and together we can build a cleaner and more sustainable community. Contact us now to learn more about our recycling services and how we can help you contribute to a cleaner environment.

Why Recycle?

UK households produced 30.5 million tonnes of waste in 2011 / 2012 of which 17% was collected for recycling (source: defra.gov.uk). This figure is still quite low compared to some of our neighbouring EU countries, some recycling over 50% of their waste. There is still a great deal of waste which could be recycled that ends up in landfill sites which is harmful to the environment.

Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment. Did you know that:

  • 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours.
