J&B Recycling Ltd

J&B Recycling was established in February 1998 to instigate the diversification away from the parent companys solid fuel business into recycling and waste management. The declining nature of the solid fuel trade made diversification necessary to safeguard the jobs of the company’s then 20 employees. The decision to look to recycling and waste management was taken as there were significant synergies identified with regard to the existing key skills and knowledge of the company and its employees.

The government white paper, Waste Strategy 2000, outlined proposals for increasing waste recycling and cutting back on the use of landfill sites, and J&B took this opportunity to implement a collection round for glass bottles from commercial premises in September 2001.

Pubs and clubs were provided with collection bins for the disposal of used drinks bottles, which was beneficial to all concerned by reducing waste collection costs and diverting the bottles away from landfill to a glass processing plant. From this initial collection scheme, J&B Recycling has developed its business through the building of two Materials Recycling Facilities in Hartlepool, one which now processes all types of waste, whilst the other specialises in kerbside recyclables. They provide the capacity for the handling and sorting of up to 75,000 tonnes of recyclable materials per annum each. The development of the company has seen it grow from a small family managed business into a reputable, established recycling and waste management company that is recognised nationally employing over 140 people in 2012.

Partnerships are developed to manage waste in the most effective, legally compliant and efficient way, whilst maintaining the adaptability to react to our customers' changing needs.

J&B Recycling's key objective has always been to divert as much waste away from landfill by increasing the levels and types of waste that can be recycled. This is done in a cost effective and sustainable manner through forward thinking and innovation. Key contracts are held with stratgeic reprocessors for materials.

J&B Recycling were the first company in the Tees Valley to set up a plastic bottle bank scheme and also were one of the first to offer co-mingled recyclable collections for commercial customers. In addition to our sites in Hartlepool, J&B Recycling manage a number of local authority sorting facilities to enable the effective handling and transportation of materials from the kerbside recycling schemes.

At J&B Recycling, our main aim is to divert as much waste as possible away from landfill sites, and to increase levels of recycling . Not only does this help the environment, it can also reduce the cost of waste removal and helps conform to government legislation.

There are very few materials which can’t be recycled - we take paper, cardboard, cans, glass, plastic, wood and rubble and have guaranteed recycling outlets for them all. And our sorting facility at our site in Hartlepool means that there is no need for clients to separate out individual materials.
