WEEE recycling, battery and hazardous waste collection for Tyne and Wear businesses including Gateshead, South Shields and North Tyneside.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Tyne and Wear extends beyond Newcastle (covered on our Newcastle page) to encompass Gateshead's technology quarter, Sunderland's automotive sector (covered on our Sunderland page), and significant manufacturing and offshore energy operations across the metropolitan county.
The offshore energy supply chain across North and South Tyneside generates specialist WEEE from subsea electronics, industrial batteries, and equipment from the growing offshore wind sector. The region's shipbuilding and marine engineering heritage adds further specialist waste streams.
Gateshead's growing technology and digital sector, centred on Baltic Quarter, creates IT disposal demand, while the Metrocentre and wider retail operations generate commercial WEEE. The manufacturing base across the region produces hazardous waste from engineering and chemical processing.
The North East Combined Authority's environmental targets mean businesses face increasing ESG requirements. Our Certified B Corporation status and reporting portal help organisations evidence their credentials. For compliance, see our hazardous waste regulations guide.
We also cover Newcastle, Sunderland, Northumberland, and County Durham.
