Recycling and waste management for Newark businesses

Newark-on-Trent sits where the A1 meets the A46, and its food producers, engineers, agricultural suppliers and distribution firms, including those on Brunel Business Park, produce plenty of cardboard, film and plastic packaging.

The A46 runs from right beside our yard at Wymeswold in Leicestershire to Newark, so collections are straightforward. We sort and bale everything at our own site and pay rebates on clean, separated grades, with no broker taking a cut.

What we collect in Newark

  • Cardboard from food production, retail and distribution
  • Polythene film, pallet wrap and shrink wrap
  • Plastic crates, trays and rigid packaging
  • Paper, office waste and print waste
  • Confidential paper for secure shredding

Collections that fit your site

We use RORO skips, curtain-side rigid lorries and articulated trailers, so we can match the collection to your site. A baler on hire is often the quickest way to cut collection costs and increase the rebate on cardboard and film.

Turn packaging waste into income

If you’re paying a general waste contractor to take away cardboard and film, you may be throwing money away. Separating cardboard, plastics and paper and baling them can turn a cost into a rebate. Start with a free waste audit.

Newark recycling FAQs

Do you cover the area around Newark?

Yes. We collect from Newark, Southwell and the surrounding villages, and from businesses across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. See our areas we cover page.

Is there a minimum quantity?

Collections in Newark are arranged around what your site produces. Baled material, or a full skip or trailer, gives the best price per tonne. For sites outside the East Midlands, loads generally need to be around 5 tonnes or more.

Do you pay for cardboard and plastic?

We pay rebates on good, clean, separated grades. The rate depends on the material, quantity and market prices at the time, and we confirm it before we collect.

Do you collect general waste or single wheelie bins?

No. We don’t run refuse vehicles, so we can’t empty general waste bins or collect single bags. We focus on recyclable materials collected by skip, rigid lorry or trailer. We can also take confidential paper for secure shredding.
