Are you missing out on recycling opportunities?

We understand in fast-paced commercial settings, the challenge of managing waste efficiently can lead to rising disposal costs and environmental impact if not addressed properly. Difficult to recycle everyday items, such as used coffee cups and paper towels, often miss recycling opportunities without specialised services. This not only limits your business’s recycling rates but may also be adding to your general waste costs.

Difficult to recycle? Not for us

Our RecyclePlus service caters to the processing of difficult to recycle items, helping to increase your recycling rates by processing a wider variety of materials. These items include:

  • Compostables
    Compostable packaging, made from plant-based or recycled materials, is processed by Envar and converted into quality soil improver, woodland mulch & biomass
  • Paper Cups
    Your paper cups go through James Cropper’s CupCycling™ process and end up as paper products and shopping bags.
  • Paper Towels
    Working with Tork PaperCircle, we recycle used Tork paper hand towels, repurposing them into new tissue products

Our convenient RecyclePlus service collects various types of waste streams from your business into one vehicle, cutting transportation costs. We pick up your recycling seamlessly in our electric collection vehicle, offering an economical and environmentally friendly waste disposal solution.

We understand the complexities of specialist recycling

At Grundon, we know you want to operate an environmentally friendly business; in order to do this, you need to make full use of every recycling opportunity. Often, items such as paper towels, compostables, and coffee cups aren’t widely accepted in standard mixed recycling bins due to their need for specialised processing. This is particularly problematic for offices that only produce these items in small quantities, but the expense of specialised recycling for each item isn’t cost-effective.

We recognise that many workplaces share the eagerness to maximise their recycling capabilities. That’s why we’ve coordinated our service, making the process more convenient and economical as we collect multiple waste streams in one collection. We collect difficult-to-recycle items and send them for specialist processing, helping you to maximise recycling opportunities and contribute to the circular economy.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to sort the items before collection?

Yes, items should be separated into their own dedicated containers to reduce the risk of contamination and ensure effective recycling. We provide a range of specialised containers designed to fit easily into your commercial environment.

How does the RecyclePlus service work?

Our service involves scheduled collections of your difficult to recycle materials, which are then sent to specialist facilities for processing. Collection schedules can be tailored to fit the needs of your business.

Is there a minimum quantity required for collection?

No, we designed this service specifically to handle small quantities from businesses to help maximise recycling opportunities.

Where do the recycled materials go?

All collected items are sent to specialised facilities for processing.

Your paper cups go through James Cropper’s CupCycling™ process and end up as paper products and shopping bags.

Your compostable packaging is taken to Envar’s composting facility and processed into quality soil improver, woodland mulch & biomass.

Your paper towels are sent to a local Essity mill to be recycled into new tissue products.

What happens if I only have one or two of the waste streams?

A business doesn’t have to have all three waste streams if they don’t produce that waste. We’ll set up convenient collections for whichever streams you have and work with you to optimise your recycling.
