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.
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.


Safety and operational excellence are core values at Dunmow Group. Our plant is equipped with real-time CCTV with people detection and thermal imaging, early fire detection, and Fireward fire suppression systems across electrical control cabinets. The improved yard layout and faster material flow also boost service speeds for Essex’s largest fleet of skip trucks.
At Dunmow Group, we take sustainability seriously. As an environmentally responsible company, we’re committed to reducing landfill waste and finding smarter, greener ways to manage materials. Every item counts — whether it’s wood recycled into fuel, metal transformed into new car parts, or demolition waste turned into hardcore. We’re fully certified for your peace of mind, and all our accreditations are available on our documents page.

There’s no need to book in advance when bringing your waste to Dunmow Group’s recycling and waste transfer centres, you can simply turn up and tip your waste over the weighbridge during opening hours. Upon arrival, your vehicle will be weighed in and out, and you’ll only be charged for the exact weight of the waste you bring.
We do not accept any hazardous waste, asbestos, compressed cylinders, gas and fire extinguishers, batteries or vapes over our weighbridge at Dunmow Group.
You can find our enviomental policy statement under our certifictaions and permits.
Dunmow Skips ensures waste is recycled responsibly at their waste recycling centre by using advanced mechanical segregation techniques within their dedicated recycling plant, which features 17 segregated bays.
When waste arrives on site, it is weighed and then processed through a combination of mechanical and manual sorting methods to separate materials such as wood, metal, plastic, cardboard, soil, and aggregates. Each material is placed into its designated bay before being sent on for further reprocessing or recycling.
This efficient system allows Dunmow Group to maximise recycling rates and minimise landfill waste, ensuring all materials are handled safely, ethically, and in compliance with UK environmental regulations.
We have three recycling locations in Chelmsford, Clacton and Colchester.
Our recycling centers are open Monday to Friday 7.30-5.30pm, Saturdays 7.30-12.30 and closed sundays.
