About Us | Why Recycle? | Qualifying Materials | Contact Us “Recyclable waste plastic awaiting processing” Plastic recycling is a nice idea. Finite natural resources, reducing skip charges and Land-fill Tax costs, environmental benefits … are all laudable aims.   ECAP’s objective is to provide you with a free of charge service thus we, like other commercial companies have to generate sufficient revenue from the volume of waste we collect to return a profit. The value of waste, and particularly the plastic component is low. ECAP’s principal cost in offering any form of service… is transport. We must devise ever more efficient ways of moving material short distances in large quantities if transport costs are not to overwhelm us.   We collect baled commercial and industrial plastic packaging waste.  We operate a fleet of collection vehicles matched to the task.  Agile vans matched to cramped urban locations,  40’ curtain sided trailers to the larger regional distribution centres of the national retailers.   Employing ECAP will reduce your waste costs and achieve visible environmental benefits.  We are however unable to offer a service to domestic customers, however desirable that may be.
