Stage 1 of 5
Your waste arrives at Binn EcoPark.

Every load of mixed waste collected from your site is brought directly to our 62-acre EcoPark facility at Binn Farm, Glenfarg. Nothing goes to landfill at this stage, every load enters our processing system.

Every load is checked and accepted.

Before processing begins, every load undergoes an initial inspection. Our trained team check and accept the waste, verifying it matches what was declared. This is where we issue your Waste Transfer Note, your legal Duty of Care documentation. Confirming your waste has been handled responsibly.

Sorted by material type.

This is where the real work happens. Waste is sorted into distinct material streams on site. Each stream has a specific destination that maximises its value and minimises environmental impact.

🌀

Non-recyclable material. Diverted to energy recovery
And many more
Rubble, garden waste, wood, plastic, textiles and 25+ other streams. All processed responsibly
Stage 4 of 5
Bulked, baled and transported to reprocessors.

Once sorted, each material stream is consolidated, baled or containerised and transported off-site to specialist reprocessors. This is where recyclable materials begin their journey to becoming new products. Residual material that cannot be recycled is directed to energy recovery facilities rather than landfill wherever possible.

🍃
Food waste stays on site
Unlike other streams, food waste never leaves the EcoPark for reprocessing. It goes directly into our on-site anaerobic digestion facility where it is broken down to produce biogas, electricity and compost. A fully circular process.
