Compliant waste management for Herefordshire's agriculture, food manufacturing, and defence sectors across Hereford, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Herefordshire's largely rural economy is anchored by agriculture, food and drink manufacturing, and a significant special forces and defence presence. Each generates regulated waste streams that require specialist handling.
The food and drink manufacturing sector, including cider production (Heineken/Bulmers), meat processing, and dairy operations, generates hazardous waste from cleaning chemicals, refrigeration systems, and production processes. WEEE from production line equipment, packaging machinery, and cold chain infrastructure adds further specialist disposal requirements.
Hereford's defence presence, including the SAS headquarters at Credenhill and associated training and support facilities, creates stringent IT asset disposal requirements. Government-standard data destruction with certified, auditable processing is essential. The broader defence supply chain across the county adds specialist WEEE from electronics manufacturing and engineering operations.
Herefordshire's agricultural landscape includes one of the UK's growing concentrations of solar installations on farmland and commercial buildings. As early installations from the 2010s approach end-of-life, PV panel recycling demand is increasing. The county's poultry and livestock operations also generate specialist waste from automated feeding and climate control systems.
The county's small but growing professional services and tech sector in Hereford city centre creates IT disposal demand, while the Rotherwas Enterprise Zone houses light manufacturing and engineering businesses. For guidance on compliance, see our duty of care guide.
We also cover Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Shropshire.
