Plastic Recycling
The Reclaim difference
Reclaim offers a range of plastic recycling services that assist with the reduction of waste to landfill and enables the reuse of a valuable resource.
Reclaim collects around 350 tonnes of plastic containers and film each month and arranges for this to be made into new products. By recycling your plastics, you will reduce your cost of waste to landfill and ensure that an important resource is not wasted.
If we are not yet collecting your plastics, please get in touch with us.
Our bin options
Reclaim can recycle your PET (1) drink and HDPE (2) milk bottles, and PP (5) containers, as part of our mixed recycling service and your clean and clear LDPE (4) plastic film (shrink/pallet wrap) as part of our plastic film recycling service.
Other types of separated plastics (3,6 and 7) are more difficult to recycle and/or manufacturers struggle to make any profit from them. This makes these types of plastics currently uneconomical to recycle. Plastics contaminated with food or liquid residue can also restrict the recyclability so always make sure you rinse and clean your acceptable recyclable plastics before disposal into our recycling bins.
There are many collection options dependent on volume ranging from large open top bins to balers or small wheelie bins.
Standard PET (1) and HDPE (2) mixed recycling collection bins
We offer 120 and 240 litre wheelie bins as an efficient method for collecting plastic drink and milk bottles.
Plastic film recycling collection bins
We offer wire cages that are 1.8m W x 1.4m H x 1.5m D with a capacity of 3.5 cubic meters. Bins are emptied on site by a front-loader truck. The bin remains on site at all times.
Servicing of bins is either on-demand or a regular call schedule depending upon volumes.
