Environmental Equipment
Environmental, Waste Management and Recycling Equipment.  

The Environmental, Waste and Recycling Directory has details of suppliers of different types of equipment such as waste and recycling containers, waste and recycling vehicles, and various suppliers of equipment for the environmental sector.





 

Since the introduction of the Landfill Diversion Targets for biodegradable waste, and the introduction of recycling targets, recycling is one of the first steps towards creating a more sustainable future! In order to do this we need to have reliable and cost effective collection systems in place.

Whether its refuse or recycling containers you are looking for, or refuse collection vehicles, there are a wide variety of different types and sizes on the market to suit different needs.

Kerbside Boxes
Ranging in size, kerbside boxes are often used for collecting various types of recyclate from households. Typical systems include 2 boxes, often one for paper and one for dry mixed recyclables. The recyclate is collected in kerbside collection vehicles and can be either sorted at the kerbside by the collectors, or taken to a Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) for sorting.

Wheeled Bins
From 140 litres through to 1280 litres, wheeled bins are the most common container used for kerbside recycling in the UK and abroad. Many different types of recycling schemes are used to suit different circumstances. An example is a three bin system comprising of 1 for garden waste, 1 for paper and 1 for mixed recyclates. The residual wheeled bin collection is often reduced to an alternative weekly collection, as the need for a weekly general waste collection is reduced by the new recycling services.

Sacks/Bags
Sacks are often used in places that have no storage facilities for wheeled bins. They are often used for paper collections, and sacks or survival bags are often found in tenement and flatted properties.

Skips
Skip containers are used for larger producers of waste, and are commonly seen in Household Waste and Recycling Centres. Skips can vary in size, depending on the volume and type of waste produced. Private companies and Local Authorities often provide a skip hire service which utilises these types of containers.

We have created an Online Environmental Directory to detail manufacturers of these types of containers and other related waste and recycling equipment.
