One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Lancaster's economy combines a major university research presence with proximity to the Morecambe Bay energy sector and growing manufacturing operations.

Lancaster's manufacturing base, including nuclear supply chain firms supporting Heysham power station, produces specialist WEEE and hazardous waste from engineering processes. The city's growing digital and creative sector creates regular IT asset disposal demand from hardware refresh cycles.
