85% of what we take
never sees landfill.

85% of what we collect stays out of landfill. We sort everything, recycle what we can, donate what's usable, and only landfill what's genuinely unsalvageable.

landfill diversion rate

That means for every truck we collect, less than 15% ends up in the ground. The rest gets a second life.

Where does your waste actually go?

We don't just chuck it all in the same hole. Every load gets sorted.

foundation 0%

Concrete and Aggregate

Crushed and reprocessed into road base and fill material. Almost nothing wasted.

iron 0%

Metal and Steel

Every piece of metal gets recycled. Scrap steel, aluminium, copper. Nothing goes to landfill.

forest 0%

Timber and Wood

Sorted for reuse, upcycling or chipping. Clean timber goes to building seconds suppliers. Treated timber processed separately.

volunteer_activism 0%

Charity and Donation

Usable furniture, clothing and household items get donated to local charities.

How do we sort recyclables from waste?

Collect and Separate

On site, we separate recyclables from general waste as we load. Metal, timber, concrete, e-waste, and donatable items all go in separate sections.

Process and Recover

Materials go to the right facility. Concrete to crushing. Metal to scrap. Timber to building seconds yards. Usable goods to charity partners.

Landfill Last Resort

Only genuinely unsalvageable waste goes to licensed landfill. That's less than 15% of what we collect. Everything else gets a second life.

Inside the recovery facilities

Where the materials actually go. Tipping into licensed resource recovery facilities. Not the local landfill. This is what the 85% diversion rate looks like on the ground.

"Highly recommend Arnaud from Dump Runners Rubbish Removals. Arnaud was very easy to communicate with and attended to queries promptly in what was a complex, logistically time critical situation that he handled with great professionalism. He was able to accommodate the job on a Saturday morning which he carried out most efficiently - the cost was very reasonable, and I value this company's ethical pro-recycling service as an alternative to landfill."
