Compliant WEEE recycling, solar panel disposal, and hazardous waste handling for Cornwall's tourism, agriculture, and clean energy businesses.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Cornwall's economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, and one of the UK's fastest-growing clean energy sectors. Each creates distinct waste management challenges that require specialist knowledge, particularly given the county's distance from major treatment facilities.
The tourism and hospitality sector across Cornwall, from Newquay and St Ives to Padstow and Falmouth, generates high volumes of commercial lighting waste, portable batteries, and end-of-life catering and refrigeration equipment during the peak summer season. Hotels, holiday parks, restaurants, and visitor attractions need flexible collection scheduling that scales with seasonal demand. Our lamp recycling service handles the commercial lighting waste these businesses produce.
Cornwall has one of the UK's highest concentrations of solar installations, both on agricultural land and commercial rooftops. As early installations from the 2010s approach end-of-life, demand for PV panel recycling is growing rapidly. Our partnership with ROSI enables up to 95% material recovery from end-of-life panels, and our fleet handles collections from single rooftop replacements to full solar farm decommissioning.
The county's food and drink manufacturing sector, including seafood processing, brewing, and dairy operations, produces hazardous waste from cleaning chemicals and refrigeration systems. Cornwall's growing lithium mining industry and geothermal energy projects add further specialist waste streams from extraction equipment and processing systems.
Cornwall Council's climate emergency declaration means local businesses face strong expectations around sustainability. Our Certified B Corporation status and ESG reporting portal help organisations evidence their environmental performance. For compliance guidance, see our duty of care guide.
