Specialist waste management for Wigan's manufacturing, logistics, and energy sectors between Manchester and Liverpool.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Wigan's economy combines a significant logistics and distribution sector with manufacturing, healthcare, and growing commercial operations along the M6 corridor. Major distribution centres across the borough generate industrial battery waste from forklift fleets and warehouse automation.
