Services We Offer in Pickering

General Waste

General waste we collect goes to Allerton Waste Recovery Park, generating electricity to power 40,000 homes across Yorkshire yearly.

Dry Mixed Recycling

We always encourage our customers to recycle when they can. We aim to push our recycling rate up by diverting more waste from recovery to recycling. Recommended to restaurants, pubs and hotels.

Glass Waste

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be infinitely processed without losing any of its original quality.

Recommended to businesses such as hotels and pubs which might create a lot of glass waste.

Food Waste

Food waste we collect will go through anaerobic digestion – microorganisms can be used to break down your waste organically. It is a greener and more cost-effective solution than general waste recovery.

How have the locals of Pickering shown their support towards waste management?

The people of Pickering have shown their support for the local environment over the years by setting up a local Environmental Action Group. Pickering Environmental Group (PEG) is an offshoot of the larger Ryedale Environmental Group which has been set up to inspire the local community to take positive action to combat waste and improve the environment on both a local and national scale.

The group is made up of 50 members of the local community who meet on a bi-monthly basis to discuss and put plans in place. Projects that they continue to work on include Give or Take Days, where local people are encouraged to bring items they are thinking of binning, that might still serve a purpose in another’s home.

Morsbags is another ongoing project which sees stitchers making fabric bags and giving them away to the public, in a bid to reduce the amount of single-use carrier bags that are being used.

The most recent project to have been put into action is the Pickering Food Share. Influenced by the groundbreaking work achieved by the Ryedale Free Fridge in Malton, the REG, with the assistance of the Ryedale Lions and the Pickering Rotary Club, have opened a community food bank that is focused on collecting and redistributing unwanted food which would otherwise be going to waste. The Pickering Food Share is open every Wednesday to Friday from 10 am to 1 pm for collections or contributions.
