Disposal & recycling

Disposal done properly, and documented.

Sometimes stock can’t go to Amazon: damaged units, dead inventory, returns, or packaging that’s served its purpose. We dispose of it responsibly and in line with UK regulations, and crucially, WEEE, batteries and hazardous waste never go in general waste.

01 / Charges

Clear, itemised disposal charges, with the right route for every waste stream. Some streams (batteries, electricals, mixed loads) vary too much for a fixed price, so we quote those on enquiry. All fees exclude VAT.

General waste
Weighed on arrival
Non-hazardous items: broken plastics, packaging, inflatables, paddling pools and similar. We weigh it in and charge by the kilo, so you only pay for what’s actually there.
£1.20/kg
£5 minimum
Mixed pallet / bulk
Priced on enquiry
Mixed boxes or pallets that need sorting, including pulling out any hidden batteries or electricals. Too many variables for a fixed rate, so we price it per job.

Compliant & traceable

Everything is disposed of through the correct route for its waste stream, with documentation so you’ve got a clear record of what was destroyed and how.

Why streams are separated

Specialist waste (cooling units, displays, damaged batteries) costs significantly more to dispose of than general waste. Charging by stream keeps it honest: you pay the real cost of what you’re actually disposing, nothing padded.

Handled the right way, by law

  • Batteries and most electricals are hazardous waste / WEEE, so by law they can’t go in general waste. We route every stream to the correct, registered carrier.
  • Lithium batteries are a fire risk, so they’re taped, bagged and stored in UN-approved fire-resistant containment before collection.
  • You get documentation of what was disposed of and how, and we’re preparing for the UK’s incoming mandatory digital waste tracking.
