What Happens to Waste When Medlec Leaves Your Site
If your clients or auditors are asking how waste from your site is managed, you need a contractor who can show you - not just reassure you. This is what happens to waste when Medlec Group finishes a job.
We use a dedicated waste management partner
All waste from Medlec job sites goes through Skip It London, our waste management partner. When they collect from a site, they produce a detailed breakdown of how that waste has been processed, how much was recycled, how it was sorted, and where it went. We receive that report every month.
Every month, we can see the numbers
The monthly breakdown from Skip It shows us our recycling rates over time. Our operations team holds these records and reviews them regularly. It keeps us accountable, and it gives our clients something tangible if they ever need to demonstrate how their site waste has been handled, which, for businesses in hospitality, retail and commercial property, is increasingly relevant.
Hazardous materials are handled by specialists
Not everything can go through standard waste collection. For hazardous materials, such as asbestos, we work with Erith, specialists in hazardous waste removal. Work like this requires specific qualifications, the right equipment and clearly defined disposal routes.
Electrical waste follows WEEE regulations
Our electrical teams follow WEEE regulations (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) for everything removed during installation and maintenance work. Fluorescent tubes, circuit boards, cables, batteries - each has a specific disposal route, and our teams know what those are.
It's a legal requirement, but it's also just the right way to work.
ISO 14001 - what it means in practice
ISO 14001 sets the standard for environmental management. Achieving it means having solid systems in place. Maintaining it means our systems are being used and reviewed. Our monthly waste reports, our partnerships with Skip It and Erith, and our WEEE compliance all feed into that accreditation.
If you need a maintenance contractor whose environmental compliance will hold up under scrutiny, call us 0333 344 5949 or get in touch for a free quote.
