Stoke on Trent is a large city in central England, known predominantly for its pottery industry. However, with a population of approximately 256,100, around 700,000 tonnes of waste are produced here annually. Despite its significant contribution to UK waste statistics, only 35% of this waste is recycled. While this is (very) slightly above the UK average of 34.4% – there’s still a lot of room for improvement moving forward.
At Divert, we hope to increase recycling rates across the country by diverting waste products away from landfill sites and towards local recycling centres – our services are available to all businesses across Stoke on Trent.

With divert you wont find silly things added to your invoiceGlass collection Stoke on Trent
Although glass products can be recycled infinitely, it’s estimated that more than 28 billion glass bottles and jars are sent to landfills every year in the UK alone. Here, they can take millions of years to degrade naturally, causing significant environmental damage in the process. Therefore, if your business produces any volume of glass waste as part of your daily business practices, you should ensure that you dispose of it accordingly. At Divert, we can make this as easy as possible by collecting any glass waste from your property and taking it directly to local recycling and reuse centres.

Clinical waste collection Stoke On Trent
There are currently 3 hospitals, 30 GP surgeries, 121 care homes and numerous healthcare centres, pharmacies and laboratories based in Stoke on Trent. With more and more healthcare businesses opening in the city, it’s no surprise that Stoke on Trent produces large volumes of clinical waste annually. These figures have undoubtedly skyrocketed since 2020, where the global demand for PPE products and disposable facemasks skyrocketed.

Therefore, whether it’s time to replace your office’s CCTV cameras or you are investing in new tech for your company and need to get rid of your old electrical products – you should ensure they are taken to a recycling or treatment centre. This can be difficult to arrange, especially if you’re disposing of large, bulky items.
However, at Divert, we’re able to take all WEEE waste products off your hands – whether we collect electrical goods from your property a few times a year or send over a man and van for a one-off collection. If you aren’t sure which services are best for you, we’ll be able to point you in the right direction.

This is also an excellent choice of waste disposal/storage for businesses without a lot of storage base – as you’re no longer required to have one bin for each waste type.
