Powering our electric fleet with energy from waste

Through our reliable, zero-to-landfill general waste collections, your waste is used to create energy for the national grid. And now that energy is used in a local, circular loop, to power the electric vehicles used across our waste collections and street cleansing fleet.

At least 60% of the waste we produce can be recycled. But for the small amount of non-recyclable material our general waste collections are the best option. Our electric fleet also reduces noise and air pollution in your local area, so switching to our general waste collection service is better for you and your local community.

Learn more about how we can support your sustainability journey on our dedicated sustainability page.
