How Leeds Junk Recycles 90% of What We Collect

Not all junk ends up in landfill

At Leeds Junk, we’re proud to say that around 90% of everything we collect is recycled or reused. For our customers, that means peace of mind that their waste is being dealt with responsibly, and for businesses, it helps meet environmental and compliance targets.

What happens to your waste after collection?

When our team collects rubbish, furniture, or building waste, it doesn’t just get dumped. Instead, we carefully separate and process items so that as much as possible avoids landfill.

Here’s how it works:

• Wood and metal are sent to specialist facilities where they can be recycled into new products.
• White goods and appliances are stripped for parts and materials, with hazardous elements safely handled.
• Furniture in good condition is donated or passed on for reuse.
• General waste goes through recycling centres where plastics, paper, and other materials are recovered.
• Green waste like branches, turf, and hedge cuttings is mulched and composted.

Why recycling matters

• Reduces the amount of waste going to landfill
• Cuts carbon emissions
• Protects local communities and the environment
• Helps businesses meet sustainability goals and demonstrate corporate responsibility
