Local authority services

We provide a range of services for local authorities, including street cleansing, refuse collection, recycling centre management, materials recycling, and the treatment and disposal of residual waste

We were awarded our first contract for refuse collection in Erewash, Derbyshire, in 1989.

We currently have waste management contracts with 23 local authorities throughout the UK and we work hard to deliver excellent customer service. We understand the pressure to reduce carbon emissions and meet demanding targets for recycling and recovery, which is why we have pioneered new initiatives - such as developing a ‘green’ fuel produced from landfill gas, and introducing computerised collection systems to improve the efficiency of our collections service.
