The management team at 4R Group has many hundreds of years of combined experience, gained through working for both industry and Government bodies.

We recycle materials from many different sources, including the production of potable water; food and drink manufacture and processing; pharmaceutical manufacture; chemical manufacture; sewage treatment; plasterboard and gypsum; mining and quarrying products; incinerator / combustor ash; compost and green waste; lime; canal dredgings and paper manufacture.

Organic and inorganic materials which are non-hazardous.

After careful assessment, we will agree the best option and recycle the material accordingly. Traditional outlets include agriculture, land restoration, use as raw materials in other industries and for materials such as animal by-products processing at licensed sites.

No, waste disposal companies often put materials into landfill. We are a waste by-product recycling company which means we stop materials going to landfill.

We use independent UKAS (nationally accepted performance standard) accredited laboratories for all of our chemical and microbiological analysis and our in-house technical team to determine the suitability of each material. Only when we are certain that the materials will not cause harm will we accept them for recycling.

No, but it can be tough to meet the Environment Agency's standard for authorisation. However, our in-house experts are able to provide the EA with sound professionally qualified advice to convince them of our technical arguments.

Yes we provide a bespoke reliable service that can quickly respond to the clients needs.

Our Compliance team keeps a close eye on regulation changes and new legislation and this is relayed to our customers by your Account Manager or a newsletter.

In normal circumstances the service we provide is specific to the material which general waste contractors struggle to handle, and so would welcome the opportunity to work alongside your present contractor to provide the most efficient service to you the customer.

We can operate on a wide range of sites UK wide. Including acidic colliery spoil, opencast coal, aggregate quarries and pits, old landfill sites, old metal mine tips, china clay spoil and other poorly restored sites.

Many sites have been restored many years ago and have once again become derelict and the owners have little or no funds available to improve them. 4R Group can provide a free to site owner restoration package, tailored to their individual site requirements.

Sites can be returned to agricultural use, housing development or for community recreation.

Firstly, call us and we can explain in more detail. We have certain minimum requirements that ensure all work is carried out as instructed, effectively and safely. We are always happy to work with potential contractors to make sure they reach the required standard.

Definitely, we are happy to get involved at any stage.

In a nutshell - flexibility. Our approach is to find the best solution for each customer rather than applying a ‘one shoe fits all’ policy. By being flexible, we are able to introduce recent developments and new technologies on an ongoing basis which ensures our customers get the best service for them.
