Nearly 30 years of growth
Tom White started this business as a skip hire company in 1981 but since then we have grown consistently and considerably to include commercial waste collection, domestic waste management and more importantly; recycling.

In 2009 we started a unique and cutting edge partnership with Coventry City Council whereby we are trusted to sort and recycle all of Coventry’s domestic waste, ensuring that waste management is kept within the city for maximum environmental and economical benefit. The very fact that Coventry City Council chose Tom White Waste for this massive and prestigious project speaks volumes for our environmental abilities, credentials as well as the professional service we offer.We are proud to be a major employer in Coventry and to support local charities and sports teams.

Whats happening now.
Our new 7,500 square metre’s waste management facility in Longford is now fully operational. With the investment of 10 Million pounds into the latest processing equipment to achieve our goal of ‘zero to landfill’. We use the latest technology to sort through materials such as, cardboard, plastics, glass, building materials, timber and metals. There are several processes that are used to ensure everything that comes from the 150 thousand tonnes of locally produced waste is recycled. This includes; shredding, screening, manual picking, air separation and ferromagnetic for metal. The small amount of waste we do have goes to RDF facilities in Birmingham and Rugby where it is used to produce energy. Once this has happened in the final process the materials are stored into compacted bales. They are sent to local plants to be further recycled and processed, where it is used to produce new materials.Our large, modern, fleet of vehicles use the latest lower emission technologies, in addition to this, we only cover a 35 mile radius which enables us to lower our carbon footprint.

We can achieve this goal by the following simple actions:

• Putting our customers first – without customers we don’t exist.
• Exceed customer expectations of service by responding courteously and efficiently to all requests and queries.
• Continue to review Policy and Procedures within our business in line with ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environmental and Safecontractor Health & Safety procedures
• Be innovative, creative and provide customers with viable, practical and environmentally friendly solutions in all aspects of recycling and waste management.

Recycling is our business
We operate the largest and busiest commercial Materials Recovering Facility in Coventry which reprocesses and recycles hundreds of tonnes of waste every single day.

We’re local
Because we are based right here in Coventry; we are truly a local green choice! By keeping your waste local you are doing even more to help the planet by cutting down on vehicle emissions!

Our recycling history
Tom White Waste Limited were established in 1981, making them the biggest and longest established waste management and recycling company in Coventry – we started recycling in 1988 when we took over an existing recycling business.Since then we have seen the volume of waste that we process rise massively to over 75,000 tonnes per year.

Diversion from landfill
Since 2007 we have operated a Materials Recovering Facility (MRF) at Stonebrook Way, Coventry. This facility enables us to separate waste into recyclable and reusable elements, ensuring that well over half of everything that we touch gets recycled. In many cases we recycle 100% of the waste we take in and we intend to achieve 100% diversion from landfill.

The future of waste handling
We have recently invested over £10 million on a new state of the art Materials Recovery facility at our transfer station in Coventry. The New indoor facility will reduce pollution within the surrounding area and provide us with over 7500 sq metres to process and segregate waste thus providing our trade waste clients with a true zero to landfill solution.This will not only exceed the targets set by government to reduce waste to Landfill but will also meet the environmental objectives of both ourselves and our customers. The Plant is in the final stages of construction and is due to be fully commissioned by the middle of 2016 and will be the only such facility within Coventry and Warwickshire area.
