Rubbish Clearance Brent is committed to eco-friendly waste disposal and genuinely sustainable rubbish removal across the borough. Our team works closely with local facilities, community organisations and charities to make sure that as much waste as possible is reused, repaired or recycled, rather than sent straight to landfill or incineration.
We have set a clear recycling and recovery target: to divert at least 92 percent of the waste we collect from landfill. This target reflects the expectations of Brent residents and the wider London approach to waste separation and resource efficiency. We are continuously reviewing our systems and processes so we can go beyond this figure over time.
To achieve this recycling percentage target, we prioritise sorting and segregation before anything leaves the collection site. Wherever it is safe and practical, our teams separate recyclable materials such as metal, wood, cardboard, soil, hardcore, green waste, and certain types of plastics. This upfront sorting makes it much easier for local transfer stations and recycling facilities to process materials efficiently and at higher recovery rates.
As a Brent-based service, we make full use of local transfer stations and authorised recycling facilities within and around the borough. By tipping at nearby sites, we cut down on unnecessary mileage and reduce the overall carbon footprint of each job. These local facilities are geared towards high levels of material recovery, with dedicated areas for construction waste, timber, scrap metals, WEEE (electrical and electronic equipment), and mixed recycling.
Our teams are familiar with the borough’s emphasis on separating recyclables from general waste at source. Wherever possible, we mirror the local collections approach used for households and businesses, which typically includes separate streams for dry mixed recycling, food waste, and residual rubbish. By aligning with this system, we help ensure that discarded items are directed into the right streams once they reach the transfer station.
Recycling is important, but reuse is even better for the environment. That is why we maintain partnerships with local charities, social enterprises and community reuse projects across Brent and nearby areas. When we collect furniture, appliances, bric a brac or office items that are still in usable condition, we will always try to send them for reuse before considering recycling or disposal.
Items such as wardrobes, tables, chairs, shelving, sofas, white goods and IT equipment are frequently suitable for donation after a quick safety check. Working with charities allows us to extend the life of these items and support local families, low income households and community groups. This approach reduces waste and helps us meet our sustainable rubbish removal goals by cutting the carbon associated with manufacturing new products.
Transport is a major part of the environmental impact of rubbish collection. To deliver truly eco-friendly waste disposal in Brent, we are upgrading our fleet towards lower emission and low-carbon vans. Our vehicles are modern, regularly serviced and compliant with the Ultra Low Emission Zone standards, helping to minimise local air pollution and CO2 output.
Efficient route planning is just as important as clean vehicles. We use smart scheduling to group collections by area so that we can complete more jobs in a single trip and reduce the number of miles driven. By combining multi-stop runs across neighbourhoods in Brent, we can keep our carbon impact low while still offering a responsive, same day or next day service where possible.
The borough of Brent encourages residents and businesses to separate their waste to improve recycling rates, especially for paper and card, glass bottles and jars, plastic packaging, food waste, textiles and small electrical items. As a local rubbish clearance company, we support this approach by advising customers on how to pre sort materials ahead of a collection.
Where suitable, we help customers keep green waste, mixed recycling and general waste separate so that each stream goes to the most appropriate facility. For example, garden clearances can often be taken directly to sites that specialise in composting and processing green waste, while building clearances are directed towards facilities focused on aggregates, metals and timber recovery. This kind of targeted disposal improves the likelihood that materials will be recycled into new products.
Some waste requires more careful handling to be managed sustainably. While certain hazardous materials must go to specialist treatment facilities, we still apply the same principles of minimising environmental impact. For items like fridges, freezers and air conditioning units, we work with authorised partners who can safely remove refrigerants and reclaim metals and plastics where possible.
Electrical and electronic waste is another area where we emphasise sustainable rubbish removal. Wherever practical, we send WEEE to facilities that focus on extracting valuable components and precious metals. This helps reduce the need for virgin raw materials and supports a circular economy approach, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible.
We are always looking for ways to improve our eco-friendly waste disposal performance. This includes monitoring our recycling percentage, reviewing the routes we use, and working with our partners to find better options for reuse, recycling and recovery. As new local facilities open or new recycling technologies become available, we will adopt them where they align with our sustainability goals.
For commercial clients in Brent, we can provide basic reporting on the types of waste collected, the proportion diverted from landfill, and how the waste was treated. This transparency helps businesses demonstrate their own commitment to environmental responsibility and meet internal sustainability targets.
