Complete list of our services.

Environment First Ltd offers a one stop shop waste management service, so whatever waste streams you are producing we can simply arrange to collect it and recycle it. Working with us means you only need to deal with our personal service, making recycling easier for you.

Below are the areas we specialise in. For other waste types, we use our network of specialists to carry out the recycling process. This means we can offer a comprehensive service providing specialised recycling services as part of a complete package.

One of the areas we specialise in is Cardboard recycling. We can recycle all types of paper and cardboard including magazines, papers, office paper, cartons, fruit boxes (OKLS).

Cardboard recycling involves the waste material being shredded, mixed with water and returned to a pulp. Contaminants are removed and then the pulp containing wood fibres is used to make new paper and card products. Cardboard can usually be recycled 5 times throughout its life.

We can accept cardboard loose or baled.

Our business grew up around recycling the leftovers of fruit and vegetable production. There are a variety of ways that fruit and vegetable waste can be reused. Some is used for animal feed, some is composted naturally and some can be broken down using anaerobic digestion.

Due to the wide spectrum of waste products in this area we can collect your waste in a variety of containers including bins or skips which are then transported on an artic lorry.

Plastics are among the versatile materials available and come in many shapes and sizes. All plastic types are recyclable. Once plastics are sorted into their respective types they can then be melted, shredded or granulated and used to make new plastic-based products.

Environment First can accept a wide range of plastic waste and can collect it loose or baled depending on your preferences.

With specialised knowledge of the industry, we can evaluate the best way to deal with your waste streams and advise you on how best to maximise the reuse and value of your waste. You can read more about our waste audit and consultancy service here .
