Recycling that stays honest — and stays local.

Plenty of “recycling” contracts quietly send cardboard overseas or into incineration when markets change. We exist for independent Cotswolds businesses who want something genuinely better: UK-first processing, local reuse where possible, and straight answers.

Local service, calm and reliable

Serving independent shops, cafés, studios and workshops across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. We’ll recommend the simplest setup for your site and keep it tidy.

The part most contracts don’t mention

Exports
UK paper & card has historically been exported in significant volumes when domestic capacity/markets shift.
The exact proportion varies year to year and by grade — the point is that “recycled” does not always mean “local”.
Incineration
Contamination and mixed streams can lead to material being rejected and diverted to energy-from-waste.
Cleaner streams = higher value + better outcomes.
Local reuse
Keeping material in the UK and maximising reuse is usually the lowest-impact, highest-value path.
We optimise for reuse and UK processing wherever feasible.
