Hargreaves Waste Management Services offers a robust and adaptable solution for the collection and processing of specialist waste streams. Our journey in managing specialist waste streams, started with end of life tyres. Through our dedicated tyre recovery service, we are able to collect and process tyres of all sizes—from standard car tyres to large earthmover tyres—ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations and industry standards. For more information on this please visit www.wecollecttyres.com
Beyond tyres, we specialise in managing niche and complex waste streams that often fall outside conventional disposal routes. Our team excels in identifying and developing bespoke solutions where none currently exist, offering full project management from initial assessment through to final recovery or disposal. This includes navigating regulatory frameworks, sourcing appropriate technologies, and coordinating logistics to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable outcomes.
We are equipped to handle a wide range of hazardous and difficult wastes, including, but not limited to:
- Contaminated soils
- Industrial sludges and filtercake
- Grits and residues from treatment processes
- Liquid wastes such as paints, oils, and solvents
Our approach combines technical expertise with a commitment to innovation, allowing us to support clients in sectors ranging from construction and manufacturing to utilities and energy. Whether you're dealing with legacy waste issues or emerging waste challenges, Hargreaves provides the insight, infrastructure, and operational capability to deliver compliant and cost-effective solutions.
What excites us is the ability to turn innovation into practical reality for our customers to help them achieve their environmental goals.
Matthew Wilkinson General Manager - Hargreaves Environmental Services
In recent months we have been able to work alongside an array of minerals, mining and quarry sector businesses helping them to recover waste materials such as tyres, conveyor belts, metals, recyclable materials (plastic, glass and card), wood, inert and general waste either on a short-term waste site clearance basis or longer-term continuing requirements.
With our UK business being multi-faceted we have the ability to offer a sort/load, transport and disposal service (primarily through recovery) so that when you engage with us, we can be a one stop shop. We can best demonstrate this through a recent tyre disposal service we offered in South Wales, where we were able to individually load the 1.6 tonnes of earthmover tyres onto a flatbed truck before delivery into recovery facility to produce marine oil.
