Environment Agency Licensed Rubbish Collectors

We operate under a valid Environment Agency waste carrier licence, which means we are legally authorised to transport and dispose of your waste. Using a licensed rubbish collection company in Richmond upon Thames helps protect you from the risk of fly-tipping and potential fines if your waste is found dumped illegally.

Our licence details are always available on request, and our vehicles are operated by trained staff who understand duty of care requirements and follow strict handling and documentation procedures.

Responsible Disposal and Recycling

We are committed to environmentally responsible disposal of all rubbish collected in Richmond upon Thames. Wherever possible, we prioritise reuse and recycling, working closely with authorised recycling facilities and transfer stations.

When our team loads your waste, it is sorted into different material streams either on site or at the processing facility. Typical recycling and recovery processes include:

Metals: aluminium and steel items, frames and components are separated and sent for smelting and reuse in new products.

Wood: untreated wood is typically directed to recycling or energy recovery, while suitable timber may be graded for reuse where facilities allow.

Plastics: recyclable plastics are baled and forwarded to specialist processors for turning into new plastic products or packaging.

Cardboard and paper: boxes, packaging and paper documents are separated and recycled into new paper and card materials.

Electrical items: fridges, freezers and other WEEE are taken to authorised treatment facilities where harmful substances are safely removed and valuable components recovered.

Green waste: garden cuttings and soft vegetation are processed into compost or soil improver where local facilities are available.

Only waste that cannot be reused, recycled or recovered goes to energy-from-waste plants or, as a last resort, to landfill in accordance with current regulations.

How Our Rubbish Collection Process Works

Our rubbish collection system has been designed for simplicity and transparency for residents in Richmond upon Thames.

First, we assess your rubbish based on the volume and the type of waste to be removed. You receive a clear price before any work begins. On the day of collection, our uniformed team arrives within the agreed time window, confirms what needs to go, and safely removes the items from wherever they are located on your property.

We do all the lifting and carrying, saving you from hiring a skip or moving bulky items yourself down stairwells or through narrow hallways. Once the rubbish is loaded, the area is swept and left tidy. Your waste is then transported to a licensed facility for sorting, recycling and disposal, with all operations carried out under our Environment Agency licence.
