c2c’s Recycling Excellence

c2c has made great strides over the last year in ensuring that as much waste as possible from their depot and stations is recycled.

c2c has a comprehensive recycling scheme in place at its East Ham depot where around 96% of waste each month is taken away for recycling.  

The recycling process for c2c starts at the depot where waste is segregated into specific containers for scrap metal, dry recyclable material, paper and cardboard. c2c has their own paper compactor permanently on site at East Ham to ensure that efficient use is made of the “paper and cardboard” skips. All waste that does not fall into these categories is segregated as general industrial waste. The general industrial waste is then sent to local firm AHERN’s recycling depot, where a second round of sorting is undertaken - here any further products that can be recycled (such as metal, rigid plastic and wood) are separated. Working together c2c and Ahern are ensuring that as much waste as possible from the depot is recycled. In December alone, over 36 tonnes of waste was successfully recycled.  

Julian Drury c2c’s Managing Director said: “Over the last year we have been doing our utmost to ensure as much waste as possible from our depot is recycled. We’ve made great strides in recent months and now around 96% of waste from East Ham is recycled each month. As a company we aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible.”

c2c also has an extensive recycling scheme in place which covers all of its stations, ensuring all waste is taken away and sorted for recycling, with as little as possible going to landfill.
