Media collections
With this fairly recent and relatively untapped opportunity for recycling, Wilcox help local authorities, charities, supermarkets and waste companies increase revenues by providing modern, purpose-built 4000 and 5000 litre banks able to collect over 400 kilograms of used books, CDs, DVDs and games.
The Massivebooks brand enables Wilcox to recycle media goods via online sales. Wilcox recycle a wide range of media products from books to vinyl records.
Any item not suitable for resale is sent to specialist recycling centres to be turned into alternative products: paper waste is sent to mills to be pulped down and recycled, and plastic waste is sent to granulation plants to be turned into plastic pellets.
