Our vision is to maximise the recycling and
recovery of resources and be market-leading in
our commitment to sustainability.
We might not be related but we are still a family. Since 2021, Coastal Recycling have been an employee-owned business, so we care about the business like equals. It gives our work a personal touch because we’re in it together.
For the last 30 years, your community, your neighbour’s homes and your local authorities have been working with us, and we want to do the same for you. We aim to maximise recycling and recovery rates, handle your waste responsibly, reduce your costs and ultimately achieve a more sustainable future.
Each year we grow, but we stay true to our roots, looking after the businesses that make Devon what it is. Connecting with the local community and educating with our sustainability knowledge is a key practice at Coastal and one we strive to achieve year after year.
Not only are we competitively priced, we genuinely care what happens to your recycling and waste. We will do everything in our power to recycle or recover as much of your waste as possible. We don’t claim to recycle 100% of everything we process as this is just not possible, but honesty and integrity is part of who we are.
Did you know our Deep Moor tipping site in Torrington, North Devon is fast becoming a renewable energy centre with gas extraction and solar energy enabling us to power over 4,000 homes every year.
One planet. One chance. Our vision is to maximise the recycling and recovery of resources and be market-leading in our commitment to sustainability. Alongside being one of the top environmentally friendly waste management companies, we strive to educate the Devon community in schools and businesses to secure a more sustainable future for all.
As a local business and employer for over 30 years, we take great satisfaction in giving back to the community that we serve. We play an active role in building positive relationships and contribute to community, environmental and social projects in Exeter and across Devon, helping to ensure that we are part of a sustainable future.
Fantastic service from Tony and his driver Nathan, nothing is to much trouble, very quick and efficient! Highly recommended
Very friendly office staff, couldn’t ask for better customer service and the drivers were very helpful/quick. Very happy to have chosen Coastal, will definitely be using again!
Good value for money, the benefits are considerable and well worth it. The office staff and the driver are always helpful and very polite.
Wish we had known of this smaller and friendly company several years ago and it would have saved me a considerable amount.
Prompt efficient service with friendly driver. The skip was delivered and collected on the agreed dates. I will order again next time I need a skip.
Coastal Recycling provided the waste removal & recycling service for Exmouth Festival 2022. They were helpful and supportive, very responsive to questions and accommodated last minute concerns and changes with a positive attitude.
Now had a series of skips from Coastal all delivered and then exchanged as requested and the drivers have all been complete stars given a challenging entrance and me being fussy. Customer service is very professional compared to some others.
The support the Coastal team give is completely invaluable to CRUK, not only providing us with a waste solution for our events but embodying our new more sustainable approach to our Race for Life & Pretty Muddy Events.
The Coastal team are professional and slick, on time and helpful, I have never seen cleaner or better smelling bins in all my event days, I can’t thank you enough for supporting our event.
Devon Dub Fest
“Devon Dub Fest have used Coastal Recycling since 2014. The service they provide has always been second to none, they understand the importance of delivery and collection dates and times being met and provide us with complete peace of mind throughout.
In addition, the customer service experience from enquiry through to completion has always been exemplary – a proactive and friendly approach, nothing is too much trouble for account managers or drivers.
An absolute pleasure to do business with, I would recommend them to anyone arranging an event or festival who has a need for waste recovery.”
