We operate a 3500 HP shredder built to the latest
environmental standards including an eddy current
magnet system to maximise metal recovery.

Furthermore, we operate a 600 tonne mobile hydraulic

The Group is dedicated to meeting environmental
challenges and has recently become involved in the
recycling of obsolete electronic equipment.
If you have any equipment you wish to recycle please call
us - we should be able to take it off your hands and give
you some money in return.
We know how important it is for everybody to recycle as
much as is possible. Consequently we are a recycling
centre for aluminium cans and are the largest
independent recycler of aluminium cans in Scotland.
Bring your cans to us and you will have taken an
important step towards helping the environment. As our
craving for recycling knowledge continues we have
worked in conjunction with Scottish universities in an
attempt to maximise the recycling potential of computer
equipment.
