Waste Management

We look after our clients offering a full cradle to grave service, providing the best possible cost saving solutions and services.
As part of the Dem-Master group, Total Recycling Scotland waste solutions offer a great complementation to our other services, providing a seamless service managed by one contractor.
We can handle all types of waste from general to hazardous, including WEEE (electrical and electronic), asbestos, chemical and biological waste.
Our industry leading 98% recycling rate and no hidden cost policy means we can divert waste from landfill, which in return means no landfill tax charges to our clients.
Our goal is to provide low cost, environmentally friendly and reliable waste recycling and management solutions.
We have skip sizes ranging from 8 cubic yard to 40 cubic yard available, we aim to provide the Scottish central belt the best short and long-term skip hire rates and options.
All waste collected comes back to our own dedicated waste recycling facility, we segregate waste through manual and technological processes in order to recover material for re-use.
We are fully committed to adhering to the principles of the circular economy throughout our waste management services.
In addition to our Waste Facility here at our Head Office, Dem-Master have strategically placed Waste Facilities in Edinburgh and Glasgow which means less mileage and fuel consumption when handling waste to and from our city based projects; increased productivity and reduced carbon footprint!
We Recycle 100% of metal, timber and inert Demolition materials from our projects and up to a further 94-98% of mixed materials, reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill.
