Clearaway Waste Management

About Us

Clearaway Recycling is a family run business. Brothers Ian and Paul have been in the waste industry for over twenty years, and Clearaway Recycling was founded in 2010. Today, Paul’s three daughters play a leading role in delivering Clearaway’s daily service.

The company is focussed on ensuring that all waste is treated in the most productive way: constantly investing in modern technology to recover and recycle as much material as possible.

Our advanced recycling centre has the ability to treat over 200,000 tonnes each year. To ensure that we fulfil our role in protecting the environment, we aim to re-use, recycle, or recover 100% of materials received.

Our services are available to both businesses and private residences.

Whether you need a skip for a home improvement project, garden clearance or an interior clean-up, we can supply one quickly and with no fuss. With competitive prices and same day service you can be assured of an excellent service from our experienced team.

For businesses, our roll-on roll-off skips offer up to 40 cubic yards of capacity and are perfect for projects that create high-volume, low-density waste or for day-to-day business waste. Our commercial skip hire team understands that the timely delivery and collection of your skip is critical to the smooth running of your business. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our skilled drivers provide the service you require within an agreed timeframe.

For businesses with their own waste carrier’s licence, arrangements can be made for their own vehicles to tip directly at our recycling centre. Call us for more details.

What happens to your waste?

Clearaway receives non-hazardous waste via its own fleet of small and large skip trucks and direct from other local businesses and skip hire firms who wish to benefit from our processing technology.

On arrival, all vehicles are weighed and loads are thoroughly checked before acceptance. Once verified and tipped, the waste is put into a large shredder, which breaks everything down into pieces no larger than 450mm. This makes the identification and separation process a lot easier for the Clearaway picking staff – the unbeatable human element of the process. The pickers will target larger items for recycling while smaller items will continue into the mechanical sorting phase.

Ferrous metals such as iron and steel, as well as non-ferrous metals such as tin, aluminium and copper are all machine recovered for processing into new metals. All electrical wires are stripped of their insulation, and the clean copper reprocessed for manufacture into new cables.

Similarly, plastics ranging from old toys to uPVC window frames, are all segregated for recycling into new products. Waste wood is graded and either used for new wood products or as biomass in energy recovery facilities, whilst bricks and concrete are sorted and crushed down to make everything from clean, size-graded hardcore for foundations to concrete blocks for the construction industry.

Finally, any light waste is removed by an air separator and shredded into small pieces to produce a refuse derived fuel (RDF) for use in energy plants instead of fossil fuels such as coal and gas.

Items too heavy to be caught by the air separator are generally small stones and bits of broken glass. These are called fines and they are cleaned for use in things like concrete production.

Clearaway’s ambition is to be a good corporate citizen. To deliver high quality waste treatment which supports the circular economy and to be a good and valued neighbour to the businesses and residents of Basildon and Essex.

Our facilities are constantly improving adopting new technology and ensuring a reliable, safety compliant and environmentally friendly service. Please get in touch with us today to discuss your waste requirements and to discover how we can help.
