Recycling firm Perrys Recycling would like to make clear that the removal of some of its recycling banks in Somerset followed discussions with Somerset Waste Partnership over several months about removing under-utilised banks. 

 

 

 

Somerset Waste Partnership have increased kerbside household recycling services, which resulted in a tonnage drop in certain paper banks. Therefore in conjunction with the economic downturn we have had to review 31 poor performing paper banks, with over 100 paper banks remaining with no plans for removal; giving the general public the choice and convenience of how they want to recycle with kerbside and bring sites.

 

 

Perrys Recycling collects from a number of councils and commercial companies throughout the South West and these services have not been affected, although some price adjustments have had to be made because of the drop in commodity prices worldwide.

 

 

Perrys Recycling has been established in the South West for more than 50 years. The company is still investing and expanding our range of services for customers, as we believe recycling has a strong future.

 

Other services that Perrys Recycling offers from Marston Magna H/Q (Yeovil), Bridgwater and Appledore depots, covering the South West.
