Established 35 years ago by owner Gary Eastwood, LKM has retained its ‘family business’ working ethos, despite becoming one of the largest and most sought after materials recycling companies in the country.Gary’s passion for recycling began in his early teens when he became fascinated with the workings of Kent’s numerous scrap dealers and yards. As soon as he was able, Gary started working weekends for local scrap merchants, saving up money and unwanted scrap until a small inheritance allowed him to start up his own business. Excelling at the job, Gary built up LKM into a sizable concern, surviving the crushing recession of the 1980s and emerging stronger than ever, as Kent’s largest waste management and recycling business.Gary’s philosophy combines a dedication to providing outstanding service with a determination to remain forthright and upfront with all our clients:Even in the early days when times were tough I kept to my principles – bills were paid on time, costings were in the best interests of the client and work was done to the best my ability and that of my team. My Grandfather used to tell me ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’ and I’ve always used those words to inspire me to make LKM the very best it can be.

LKM are working closely with households and our mobile collectors to increase the recycling rates of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By segregating all WEEE items that enter the metals stream and passing on to the WEEE processors, this initiative will help towards government targets for the recycling of WEEE. Only WEEE that is produced by households is allowed to go in this stream.
