In today’s commercial world its increasingly important to be able to demonstrate that your company takes its environmental responsibilities seriously. Yorwaste can help you achieve this with its waste management solutions.
Under the waste management hierarchy, the priority is to maximise recycling, then recovery, and finally to consider disposal into landfill. At Yorwaste we can help you achieve those goals.
To maximise your recycling, we can provide specialised services for Glass, Food, and Dry Mixed Recycling. We can also offer a collection and composting service if your company generates large volumes of green waste. If you have large volumes of other specific wastes, we would be happy to explore other specialised recycling options with you. These services can both improve your company recycling rate and reduce your waste management costs when compared to recovery or disposal.
For the waste you produce that isn’t easily recycled we can offer Waste Recovery via Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities where the waste is burned to generate electricity that then helps power the UK Economy. Whilst less green than recycling, this is considerably more environmentally friendly than landfill disposal.
There are some waste types which can’t be recycled or recovered (e.g. Asbestos). For those difficult waste streams, we can still provide a landfill disposal option.
Compared to our competitors, we are a truly local Company, focused on supporting other local companies. Our award-winning customer services are based in York and North Yorkshire and are operated by people who live in and know the local area. They are there to provide you with a seamless and pain-free waste management service that allows you to focus on your core operations.

A handful of local community schemes have been established in order to reduce waste and to encourage residents to reuse, rather than make new purchases. The Community Furniture Store in Selby is a good example of an organisation with these values at their heart. The Store sells affordable used furniture that has been donated, as well as a selection of new electrical goods. In addition to accepting furniture donations, the store also operates a paint donation program. Locals can leave half full cans of paint at the shop, which can then be sold on for an affordable price to those who need it.
