Nationwide Recycling
At Waste King, we’re proud to recycle 97% of the waste we collect, and we’re always working to improve that figure. Our goal is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill year after year, and we work closely with our customers across the UK to make that happen.
Our Waste King depots are equipped to separate waste into different streams, allowing us to recycle a wide range of materials – and in many cases, even more than what’s listed below.

Wood Recycling
Waste King offers a nationwide Wood Recycling Service designed to help businesses maximise recycling while improving efficiency. We take the hassle out of wood waste storage, collection and recycling, offering a service tailored to your specific needs.
We supply the right containers for the job – from skips to bulk carriers – to help you make the most of your available space. Collections can be scheduled or arranged on a call-off basis, depending on what suits your operation best.
All wood waste collected is fully recycled, helping you avoid costly landfill tax. Recycled wood chippings are repurposed for use in animal bedding, golf courses, garden paths, playgrounds and horse arenas. We also supply coloured wood chips to garden centres and retail outlets.
With Waste King, you can be confident your wood waste is managed responsibly and sustainably.

Cardboard and Paper Recycling
At Waste King, we separate paper and cardboard from our mixed waste collections to ensure it’s properly recycled. Cardboard without plastic coatings is biodegradable and compostable, provided it’s not heavily printed with ink. When shredded, it can even be reused as animal bedding or insulation.
Cardboard is also a valuable material in the growing field of waste-to-energy, where waste is converted into fuel or power. It produces twice as much heat per pound as many other waste types, with no toxic emissions – just clean ash as a by-product.
By recycling paper and cardboard with Waste King, you’re helping reduce landfill waste and support more sustainable energy solutions.
