Recycling

In 2010, SITA UK recycled and recovered over 1.5 million tonnes of the waste that we handled.

We collect recyclable material from householders and businesses throughout the country, and operate 32 materials recycling facilities and 122 household recycling sites across the UK.

Our materials recycling facilities sort and bale a variety of recyclable materials including paper, cardboard, plastics and cans for onward shipment to reprocessors.

We have a number of new state-of-the art facilities. Our £13 million facility at West Sleekburn, for example, houses an advanced materials recycling facility capable of processing up to 50,000 tonnes of mixed dry recyclables a year.
