2 tons up in the air! The Silverbirch Garden Centre have been using unsightly, costly and inefficient 1100L wheelie bins for cardboard waste for a long time as well as one of our monthly rental skips. Highlander International Recycling Ltd were able to offer Silverbirch a more efficient rental deal on a baler, which convinced […]
Before: Corrugated box maker Caps Cases, based in Glasgow, recently installed a new waste extraction system. Highlander were delighted and honoured to play a part in this exciting project. The reduction in performance over time of the existing, near 40-year-old extraction system, resulted in significant manual removal of waste corrugated off-cuts via 1100 liter wheeled bins, […]

Historically, this focused on paper, cardboard and plastic. After learning a very concerning statistic, that tonnes of wood are sent to landfill every year, we have extended our recycling services to include […]
