Plastic Recycling
Why Choose Us
At Burns Waste Management, we specialise in the collection and recycling of plastic bales for businesses across the North East of England.
Our service is designed to make plastic waste management simple, efficient, and environmentally responsible — helping your business reduce landfill use and improve sustainability performance.
Our Services
Plastic bales are compacted blocks of recyclable plastic waste, such as shrink wrap, bottles, films, and sacks, that have been compressed and secured by a hydraulic baler. By baling your plastic waste, you can save valuable storage space, lower transport costs, and streamline recycling processes.
Once collected, we ensure that all plastic bales are sent to approved recycling facilities, where the material is processed and reused in the manufacture of new plastic products. This closed-loop system supports the circular economy and helps reduce the demand for virgin plastics.
Whether you produce small or large volumes of plastic waste, our flexible collection schedules and competitive rates make Burns Waste Management the trusted choice for plastic bale recycling in the North East.
Why Choose Us?
By choosing Burns Waste Management, you’re ensuring your plastic bales are collected and recycled in a sustainable, compliant, and cost-effective way — reducing waste sent to landfill and helping your business meet its environmental and sustainability goals.

Do you only collect baled plastics?
Yes. We specialise in plastic bale collections — compacted and banded plastic waste ready for transport and recycling. If your business doesn’t currently bale plastic, we can recommend local partners or baler hire options to help you get set up.
