Waste Management and Recycling

Test for text size

With over 20 years of experience in the waste management and recycling sector, we work with businesses and developers across the UK to plan, permit, and deliver practical, compliant, and sustainable projects. Our expertise spans the full project lifecycle; from early feasibility and planning applications to environmental permitting and operational support.

We’ve supported a wide range of developments, from local waste transfer stations to large regional-scale treatment and recycling facilities. By combining technical expertise with a clear understanding of industry regulations and operational realities, we help clients deliver projects that are efficient, resilient, and designed for long-term success.

Our experience includes:

Aggregates Processing Facilities and Aggregate Wash Plants
Waste Transfer Stations
Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs)
Hazardous Waste Treatment Facilities
Composting Facilities
Plastics Recycling and Rerocessing Facilities
Small Waste Incineration Plant
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Plants
Use of Waste in Construction and Restoration

Waste Management and Recycling Services

Project Feasibility

We assess the viability of waste and recycling projects from the earliest stage, considering site- and development-specific technical, operational, environmental, and regulatory factors. Our feasibility studies help clients identify opportunities, anticipate challenges, and make informed decisions before committing to design or development.

Site Design

We lead and coordinate the full site design process, balancing operational efficiency with environmental responsibility. Our team develops layouts that optimise operational efficiency while proactively managing potential impacts such as noise, dust, and visual effects, ensuring sites minimise local impacts and integrate successfully with their surroundings from the outset.

Town Planning

We manage the entire planning process from early feasibility through to approval. This includes coordinating technical assessments, leading community and stakeholder engagement, and liaising with planning authorities to deliver clear, timely, and positive outcomes.

Sustainable Drainage Design and Approvals

Our in-house specialists design drainage systems that meet all statutory and planning requirements, including SAB, permitting, and environmental regulations. We deliver robust and sustainable solutions that protect the environment and ensure full compliance.

Environmental Permitting

We prepare and submit environmental permit applications and variations for a wide range of waste operations. Our proactive approach to regulatory engagement helps prevent delays, maintain compliance, and keep projects on track.

Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

We design and implement bespoke Environmental Management Systems tailored to the specific needs of waste and recycling facilities. Our EMS frameworks support ongoing improvement, compliance, and transparent demonstration of environmental performance.

Management Plans

We develop and implement detailed management plans to control noise, dust, odour, bioaerosols, and other operational emissions. These plans ensure facilities operate responsibly, minimise environmental impacts, and comply fully with regulatory requirements.

Operational Compliance Support

We provide practical, ongoing support to help operators maintain compliance with environmental standards. Our work reduces the risk of enforcement action, operational disruption, and reputational impact, ensuring facilities run efficiently and responsibly.

End of Waste Assessments

We undertake detailed assessments to determine when recovered materials meet “end of waste” criteria. This helps operators unlock value from recovered resources, minimise regulatory obligations, and support the circular economy.
