Many waste management companies simply bulk-up waste at transfer stations before taking it to landfill. At Cawleys our aim is, wherever possible, to divert waste from landfill through our innovative approach to collecting, sorting, treating and recycling waste.

Explore our 40,000 sq ft Materials Recycling Facility (MRF)
Opened in 1997 and heavily reinvested in again in 2008, our MRFs in Luton and Wellingborough are state of the art facilities unique of their kind in the area. It is a streamlined process for card, paper, plastic, wood, scrap metal, glass, construction and demolition waste and hazardous materials. It allows us to achieve higher waste reclaim and recycling rates and greater efficiency throughout the process.
This unique service is also a valuable resource for the business community in helping people find ways to recycle more and raise their own environmental profile.
We handle both active and inert waste, all under one roof. Unlike many collection recycling schemes, where materials have to be sorted before they are sent for processing, we can handle all that in-house. It means that more waste reaches us in the first place, as we are not limited to taking just a narrow range of materials.
No matter how large or small your company, we can take care of all your recycling needs.
As landfill tax continues to rise, recycling can make a significant saving on waste disposal costs. By utilising our different containers, baling equipment, office paper recycling scheme, or our Materials Recycling Facility, Cawleys can now help you recycle more materials than ever before, even food waste!
Visitors are always welcome to come and see for themselves how it all works, and understand more about what can be recycled. We are continually expanding to make things even faster and more automated, in line with current technology, and to achieve an even greater throughput of waste and recyclates.
