Essex Recycling Centre

At Dunmow Group, we are dedicated to recycling 100% of your waste at our high-quality recycling transfer station.

Extensive investment in our recycling facility means that we can re-purpose, reuse and redistribute almost any materials brought to us from across Essex.

Metals, woods, plastics, textiles, concrete and even tyres can be brought to our waste station, and, rather than ending up in landfill sites, will be recycled.

Our environmental policy, specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard, means that we reduce pollution and increase the percentage of recycled materials in the market.

17 Dedicated Recylcing Bays

State-of-the art Recycling Plant

We use advanced screening and separation technology to maximise material recovery. Waste is sized and conveyed through magnets, screeners, and high-precision mechanical sorting equipment before being separated into 17 dedicated bays for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stone, hardcore, wood, and other recyclable streams. This means less waste in landfills and reduced carbon emissions through improved recycling.
