What do HTL recycle?
HTL recycle plastics, metals, paper and cardboard. We collect separate streams of these recyclables as well as a mixed recyclate stream. We aim to ensure that your commercial choice to recycle is kept simple and hassle free. After collection of your recyclables we may sort and bundle each recycling stream for forward shipping to the recycling processors.
Paper
Loose office paper, envelopes, newspaper and magazines are sorted
and bundled into bales and transported to a paper processor. We
can provide collection containers ranging from 60L bags to 1100L
bins as well as cages and compactors to suit all requirements and
budgets.
Cardboard
There are two main types of cardboard, corrugated cardboard, typically
used for packaging and flat cardboard, typically used for cereal
packets. Cardboard packaging constitutes a large proportion of this
type of waste and is best collected in bales for onward shipping.
Loose cardboard can also be collected using our range of containers
as with paper.
Metal
We collect and separate ferrous and non ferrous metals.
Ferrous Metals
These are metals which contain iron. All ferrous metals are magnetic
and give little resistance to corrosion.
Non Ferrous
These are metals which do not contain any iron. They are not magnetic
and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.
Plastic
There are over 50 different types of plastic which have been divided
into seven categories, PET which typically used for fizzy drink
bottles, HDPE used for milk bottles, PVC for clingfilm, LDPE for
carrier bags, PP for butter tubs, PS for plasticvending cups and
hamburger boxes and Other which is any other plastic which does
not fit into the previous categories. We will shred or bale plastics
for onward shipping to processors. We do not export any of our recyclables
but use UK based reprocessors.
