Surprising Objects And Materials Which Can Be Recycled

We all maintain a responsibility to reduce our personal carbon footprints, whether operating a business which produces a lot of excess waste and junk, or simply recognising that we need to separate rubbish which accumulates from everyday domestic life. The first step towards becoming more generally sustainable is identifying the materials and objects which can be conveniently reused either by yourself, or repurposed thanks to a local waste company. Let Broughshire Waste Metals take you through some of the most surprising recyclables, as well as how recycling services can be of benefit.

Why Recycle?

There are countless benefits to using recycling services, from saving money by reusing items you would otherwise have to pay a premium for, to ultimately conserving energy usage which is typically required in the production of new products. The growing recycling industry even produces new jobs every year, aiding the economy and giving individuals the opportunity to be employed as sorters, drivers, mechanics, technicians, and much more. Recycling also causes far less harm to the environment than extracting natural resources.

Old Unused CDs And DVDs

As we enter the age of video on-demand and the era of streaming, CDs and DVDs are becoming somewhat redundant for most. As a result of this, it can be a challenge to dispose of such seemingly useless disks in a sustainable manner. What you may not know is that although these circular objects aren’t able to be included for household waste collections, recycling centres including the depot at Broughshire Waste Metals would be happy to repurpose them.

Metal Car Parts

Metal car parts can often be recycled, with alloy wheels, internal parts and even old seat belts and seats covers capable of being repurposed under the right circumstances. Not all recycling centres are equipped with the facilities to reuse excess metal, however our competitively priced scrap metal yard allows us to take the most responsible approach to recycling, paying high prices to those we work with, and adhering to environmental legislation at all times.

Carpet

Almost all types of carpet can be recycled and made into a brand new product, though this is one household utility which regularly goes to waste. Though not as simple as storing old carpet with the rest of your conventional recycling, at our South Wales waste management hub, we’ll always be happy to recycle fibres and ensure reusable materials don’t go to waste.

At Broughshire Waste Metals, we’re a scrap company who help organisations and individuals across South Wales reduce and recycle the waste they create. We achieve this by offering a diverse range of eco-friendly waste disposal services to help businesses and tradespeople meet their waste responsibilities.
