We are the only waste management company in Scotland offering ‘High Quality Recycling’ (HQR) alongside a Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) option.

HQR adheres to the waste hierarchy by ensuring recyclable waste is separated at source and kept separate throughout its journey to recovery.

HQR ranks higher in the recycling value chain than DMR due to significantly lower contamination levels.

HQR offers a wide range of tailored material ‘waste type’ options to suit the specific needs of each customer, providing choice, convenience, and the ultimate eco-friendly solution of source-segregated collections.

Thanks to reduced sorting and separation costs, HQR can be offered to customers at a preferential price point.

By segregating waste at the source, HQR enables recyclable materials to be processed more efficiently, significantly reducing general waste by prioritising sustainability and resource recovery from the outset.

We also provide mixed recycling solutions for ease and convenience, allowing the disposal and recycling of multiple recyclable materials in a single stream. This service simplifies waste management while still ensuring valuable resources are recovered and processed efficiently.

Our mixed recycling solutions are designed to be both cost-effective and environmentally responsible, making it easier for businesses to implement sustainable practices.

Our dedicated food waste collection service helps businesses minimise landfill contributions while supporting composting and energy recovery initiatives.

We collect food waste from a variety of establishments - including restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues - using our specialised fleet of vehicles.

We collect mixed glass from the on-trade sector across the UK, including pubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels, ensuring glass waste is managed efficiently and sustainably. Glass is 100% recyclable, meaning it can be processed and reused indefinitely without any loss of quality.

The majority of the glass we collect is recycled back into the production of new bottles and jars, supporting a closed-loop recycling system.

For non-recyclable materials, we provide responsible general waste handling that ensures compliance with environmental regulations. Our tailored approach helps clients achieve their sustainability goals while streamlining waste management processes.

We provide secure collection and disposal of confidential documents, ensuring sensitive information is handled with the utmost care and discretion. Our confidential waste shredding service guarantees the secure destruction of documents, protecting businesses and individuals from data breaches, identity theft, and compliance risks.

Change Waste Recycling now offers segregated collections for paper hand towels - a sustainable, circular solution that ensures they can be reprocessed and recycled into new hand towels.

This service is provided in addition to our unique source-segregated collections for other materials.
