Collection and supply rates, stated up front
Guideline rates so you can budget before you call. Everything below is a starting rate for the smallest load in each band, excluding VAT.
The final number is confirmed in writing once we know the material, the volume and the access.

What moves the rate
Four factors decide where in the band your price lands. We will explain all four at quotation stage rather than after the first invoice.
Grade and contamination
Clean, separated material costs less to process and is worth more. Mixed or contaminated loads need extra handling and the rate reflects it.
Volume and frequency
Regular collections on a scheduled round are cheaper per tonne than ad hoc visits, because the vehicle is already in the area.
Access and container
Container size, standing area and vehicle access all affect how long a collection takes, which is a cost.
Material type
Metals, fibre and polymer carry different processing costs, so the starting rate differs by stream.
What is included in every rate
- Container or bulk collection by our own vehicle
- Weighbridge ticket issued against the load
- Waste transfer note, one per address
- Sorting and processing into the correct stream
- Recovery route described on request
- Tonnage records suitable for your own reporting
Rates exclude VAT. Where a load needs a specialist route rather than ours, we will say so before quoting.
Long-term agreements
Once collections settle into a rhythm, most customers move to an agreement that fixes the rate for the term and sets volume bands, so a busy month does not change your unit price.
