Business summary

A licensed commercial waste collection and materials recovery business operating its own transfer station and collection fleet across Yorkshire. Contracted collection schedules underpin the majority of revenue, supported by secondary income from recovered materials.

The business holds an environmental permit for its transfer station and operates a fleet of 24 collection vehicles on scheduled commercial rounds. Revenue is derived from collection charges, gate fees and the sale of recovered card, plastics and metals. Route density in the core operating area is a significant competitive advantage and has been built over two decades. Compliance and permitting records are complete and current.
