We help our clients comply with Scottish Waste Regulations.

Upon collection, every skip is visually checked upon arrival at our purpose built facility in Kirkcaldy. The recycling process then begins. The waste is loaded into our revolving waste separator which is similar to a large sieve. As dirt, dust, and earth fall through the fine holes, the remaining waste travels on to a large conveyor belt from which recyclable materials are hand-picked.

This process also recovers approximately 85% of materials suitable for recycling. These include cans, cardboard, glass, metal, paper, plastic, and wood. The remaining 15% of dirty and contaminated waste is still unfortunately, forwarded to landfill but with improving techniques and new markets opening we hope to bring this rate down even lower.
