What is the Yorwaste Process?

You can save up to 20% when you recycle your company’s waste direct with Yorwaste. Get in touch with us for a free quote. We’ll offer you a free waste audit on site, discuss all waste types and give friendly advice on the day.

Once you’ve chosen your bin type and frequency, the rest is down to us! Simply load up your bins, keep an eye on them to make sure they’re not broken or vandalised, and we’ll pick up and treat your waste on a frequency designed for you.

We offer recycling services alongside general waste collections. Following the waste audit, we will recommend the best service(s) to suit your needs, but they will all be focused on recycling or recovering your waste.

Our business waste collections are done on a ‘round’ basis but when we carry out your free waste audit we will ask whether there are any time constraints around collecting your bins or if there are location restrictions, e.g. locked gates, narrow streets, access times etc. We’ll always endeavour to be as flexible as possible.

We have a location map of the areas we deliver, but generally, we collect waste throughout the City of York and North Yorkshire. If you are outside these areas, we still may be able to provide a service so please get in touch.

Where does the waste go?

Initially, your waste will be transported to a local waste transfer station.  Here, recyclable waste may be separated for onward transport to reprocessors, to be made into new products. Unrecyclable waste will be bulked up for transport to the county’s Energy from Waste facility, to be used as fuel to generate electricity.

We partner with Allerton Waste Recovery Park to ensure as much non-recyclable waste as possible is turned into energy for the local North Yorkshire area. We put the waste hierarchy at the very heart of our business, and do all we can to increase waste reduction, reuse and recycling where possible.

From community initiatives, such as Reuse Santa and Get Re-Cycling, to our team of recycling experts working closely with businesses to help their overall waste management strategies and maximise their recycling efforts.

The energy from recovered waste in Yorkshire currently powers around 40,000 homes in the Yorkshire area. By incinerating non-recyclable waste, we’re able to convert rubbish into energy!

The ash that is produced during this process is also recycled to create materials for the construction industry, further closing the gap in waste production in the Yorkshire area. It’s even estimated that 2.5% of the UK’s energy is powered by recycled materials, so why not join the cause and be an advocate for environmentally friendly waste management?
