Our recycling history

Tom White Waste Limited were established in 1981, making them the biggest and longest established waste management and recycling company in Coventry - we started recycling in 1988 when we took over an existing recycling business.

Since then we have seen the volume of waste that we process rise massively to over 75,000 tonnes per year. 

Diversion From Landfill – the future of waste handling

Since 2007 we have operated a Materials Recovering Facility (MRF) at Stonebrook Way, Coventry.  This facility enables us to separate waste into recyclable and reusable elements, ensuring that well over half of everything that we touch gets recycled.  In many cases we recycle 100% of the waste we take in and we intend to achieve 100% diversion from landfill by 2012.

Into the future

2010 sees the opening of a further 25,000 square feet of materials recycling facility dedicated to commercial and industrial waste.  This will be the next stage of our long term plans for total environmental responsibility – the site will be fully enclosed and climate-controlled to minimise noise pollution and impact on our neighbours.
