Anglia Recycling is a market leading recycling company. From our humble beginnings we have not only continually grown and evolved to become one of the countries largest recoverer and reprocessor of post consumer packaging, but we have also become a major provider of complete recycling and waste management services.
As well as an expansion of our recycling facilities we have developed a comprehensive network of recycling and waste disposal "partners", which means services under the Anglia Recycling banner can be offered anywhere in the UK. With commitment to increase our own on-site containers, as well as forging even greater working partnerships.
Our people are central to our service, thats's why we are committed to providing our employees with an environment that is both safe and stimulating, where continous improvment is everyone's goal.
Communications between staff and departments are key and we foster teamwork, personal development and the freedom to express ideas. This commitment can be seen in our investment in training and welfare for our staff.
