Our Recycling & Disposal Principles
We follow clear principles to ensure waste is managed responsibly from collection through to final disposal.
1. Recycling Wherever Possible
We aim to recycle as much waste as possible by separating materials and directing them to appropriate recycling facilities. This includes green waste, recyclable household materials, and recoverable commercial waste.
While not all waste can be recycled, we actively work to reduce the amount sent to landfill whenever suitable alternatives are available.
2. Use of Licensed Waste Facilities Only
All waste collected by Progreen Waste Removal is taken exclusively to licensed waste transfer stations and recycling centres. This ensures full compliance with current waste regulations and gives our customers peace of mind that their waste is being disposed of legally.
We do not use unlicensed sites or shortcuts: responsible disposal is a non-negotiable part of our service.
3. Ethical & Compliant Waste Handling
As a registered waste carrier, we operate in line with all relevant waste management regulations. From collection to disposal, waste is handled professionally, safely, and transparently.
This commitment protects:
- Our customers
- The environment
- Our local communities
4. Green Waste Recycling
Green waste, including garden waste and organic material, is prioritised for recycling wherever possible. This waste can often be processed into compost or reusable organic material rather than being sent to landfill.
Our green waste recycling approach supports more sustainable waste management practices and helps reduce environmental impact.
5. Reducing Environmental Impact
By recycling responsibly and using approved facilities, we aim to reduce unnecessary landfill use and support a more sustainable approach to waste management.
We continually look to improve our processes and make responsible decisions that balance efficiency, compliance, and environmental responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any items you cannot remove?
We are unable to collect hazardous waste. This includes materials such as asbestos, chemicals, solvents, oils, and other substances that require specialist handling.
However, we can remove most types of non-hazardous waste, including household rubbish, furniture, appliances, green waste, and general commercial waste. If you’re unsure whether an item can be collected, just let us know and we’ll be happy to advise.
Do you offer same-day waste removal?
Yes, we offer same-day waste removal, subject to availability.
Same-day collections depend on factors such as our current schedule, your location, the type and volume of waste, and agreement on pricing. If you need waste removed urgently, we recommend getting in touch as early as possible so we can check availability and confirm the best option for you.
How is your pricing calculated?
Our pricing is based on a combination of factors to ensure it’s fair and transparent:
- Volume – Household and bulky items are usually priced by the amount of space they take up in the vehicle
- Weight – Heavy materials such as rubble, soil, and hardcore are priced by weight (typically per tonne)
- Labour – Time and effort required to load and remove the waste
- Distance & access – Travel distance, fuel costs, and ease of access to the waste
Jobs that are local, easy to access, and have waste pre-piled may cost less than longer-distance or more labour-intensive clearances. We always aim to provide clear pricing before any work begins. Get a Free Quote
Do you recycle the waste you collect?
Yes, we recycle waste wherever possible.
We make every effort to separate recyclable materials and divert as much waste as we can away from landfill, helping to reduce environmental impact and support responsible waste management.
What happens to the waste after collection?
All waste we collect is taken to a licensed waste transfer station, where it is processed responsibly in line with UK waste regulations.
Recyclable materials are separated, and any remaining waste is disposed of correctly at authorised facilities. As a licensed waste carrier, we ensure all waste is handled legally and ethically from collection to final disposal.

Joe and Progreen as a company were polite, professional, punctual, reliable and swift, and removed my waste as required. I would recommend this company for all of your waste removal needs. (I had a large cracked mirror that was delivered damaged with shards of broken glass, they scooped it up and came in and retrieved it safely. Many thanks :)
Ms A Excellent service from Joe at Progreen Waste Removal. I needed a large, damaged mirror collected from a customer's property following a delivery issue.
Joe was extremely helpful, professional and reasonably priced. He communicated directly with the customer, arranged a convenient collection and kept me informed throughout.
He made a difficult situation much easier to resolve. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Progreen Waste Removal. Thank you, Joe!
