Successful local recycling relies on more than household collections: residents also need efficient, well-managed Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) that provide a focal point for individual and community recycling and waste disposal.
Biffa manages a number of HWRC sites that help to maximise local waste diversion.
Popular and important community facilities, today’s HWRCs are a far cry from the ‘tip’ of days past, providing recycling options for an ever-increasing range of materials which can be recovered and reused.
Biffa manages a number of sites where friendly, motivated staff are on hand to help local residents to recycle common materials, as well as items like paint, oil, batteries, light bulbs and electrical goods.
Coupled with modern compaction and transport equipment, Biffa-managed HWRCs regularly achieve recycling rates exceeding 70%.
