Circle - Welcome to Circle

Introducing Circle

The construction industry accounts for nearly a third of all waste in the UK – that’s almost 100,000,000 tonnes a year. The vast majority of this is simply discarded to landfills, with all the environmental problems that brings.

Well, not anymore in Liverpool. The Riverside Group, PLUS Housing Group and construction company G&J Seddon have joined forces to create CIRCLE – the Construction Industry Recycling Centre for the Local Environment. A recycling plant offering a new approach to waste management – right here in Blackstone Street, Liverpool.

What’s great about Circle?

It aims to recycle 90% of waste
It will reduce the landfill burden
It will provide jobs for local people
It will save you money

Be part of the solution

Britain’s landfill sites are filling up fast. As well as the logistical problems this causes, continued reliance on landfill poses a serious threat of contaminated soil, water and air pollution.

Currently, more than 90% of construction waste could be recycled, yet 80% is still disposed of via landfill. Circle aims to change this and help meet the Government’s landfill reduction targets by processing more than 37,000 tonnes of construction waste a year - that’s equivalent to the weight of 19 double-decker buses every day.

By using Circle, your company will no longer be part of the problem; instead you will be helping to pioneer the solution, spearheading an initiative that will make Circle a leader in waste management whilst creating new employment opportunities in the local area.

Landfill: costing more than the environment

The European Landfill Directive has for some time imposed a tax on disposing waste to landfill sites – currently £21 per tonne.

This is expected to rise rapidly over the coming years to £35 per tonne. By using Circle, contractors will be able to dispose of their waste in a cost effective manner, and benefit the environment.

Do your bit!

The Circle facility opened its doors in Autumn 2006. Located in the North West of Liverpool, the site is ready to start helping the environment whilst perhaps saving you a few pounds.
