Recycling

Recycling is a huge topic for the waste industry at present. Historically landfill was the destination for most waste however that is changing now as companies try to re-use and recycle as much waste as possible to divert material away from landfill and create a secondary product.

In many areas of the country a comprehensive recycling service is available. This can have a dramatic impact on costs as well as help to keep waste producers compliant with current legislation. Ribbex always looks to recycle where appropriate in keeping with our ongoing committment to the environment and a sustainable future.

Landfill tax is set to rise every year for the foreseeable future, increasing the cost of general waste to business' nationwide. As a result of this many companies are turning to Ribbex to provide an alternative and reduce costs as the waste industry changes.

If you would like to know more about different recycling initiatives in your area and find out how you can take advantage of them then please feel free to get in touch.
