What types of waste can you recycle?

There are many different types of waste that your business can recycle. These include:

Cardboard & Paper

Most paper and cardboard can be recycled multiple times, processed for reuse as packing, or for other purposes such as animal bedding and litter.

Metals

Metals can be recycled to separate ferrous from non-ferrous at specialist recycling centres like ours. Once separated, most metals can be repurposed in a multitude of ways. Fletchers also operate as scrap metal merchants, providing a way to profit from reusable scrap metals.

Glass

Bars, restaurants and pubs are the biggest culprits for glass waste, yet almost all glass forms can be endlessly recycled and reprocessed into new forms, whatever the colour, shape or usage. Let us help you achieve 100% recyclability on your commercial glass waste.

Plastics

There are many different types of plastic for commercial use, and lots of them can be recycled. Recycled plastic is melted down and cast into pellets for reuse in thousands of different forms, from bottles and packing to furniture and reusable supermarket carrier bags.

Clothing & Textiles

Whether it’s returned stock or waste generated from refurbishment projects, clothing and textiles like curtains and tablecloths can be donated to charitable causes for resale, reuse, or recycled to be made into new items.

Brick, Wood & other building materials

Most people don’t assume they can recycle bricks, timber and other waste building materials. In fact, they can be repurposed in many different ways and considering most bricks have a lifespan of over 200 years; it makes sense to use them over again! We can collect building materials from commercial projects across South Yorkshire, providing skips of all sizes to collect your waste.

Green Waste

Green waste doesn’t just include garden trimmings, grass, and weeds. It also includes the tonnes of waste fruits and vegetables thrown out by restaurants and the catering industry daily. This can all be taken and recycled for use as compost or in other garden care products.
