Barely four months after acquiring Verdant waste firm which is based in Kent, Greenstar waste management firm has also acquired Dunstable Waste Group, which is based in Bedfordshire and which trades under the Firbank Chiltern name. The new acquisition is expected to bolster municipal services offered by Greenstar in the region.
Ian Wakelin the chief executive of Greenstar said that the contract would enable them get a bigger foothold in the South East and would help them expand their very successful commercial waste and recycling model in the area. The chief executive also added that they would be feeding the Aldridge MRF nearing completion on the outskirts of Birmingham with the recyclable materials from the newly acquired firm.
The Dunstable Waste Group Ltd which is based in Luton was started in 2003 when Firbank Recycling Ltd and Chiltern Wasteaway Ltd merged. The firm deals with approximately five thousand tonnes of waste and recyclable materials annually. It basically deals with general waste, glass, and mixed recyclables from commercial and industrial customers around the Bedford, Luton and Dunstable areas.
Mr Wakelin expressed confidence that Greenstar was well on its way to assembling a nationwide network of fully integrated waste collection and processing services that will make it possible for British firms and citizens to cut down on waste while increasing their rate of recycling.
Greenstar waste management is owned by the NTR Group of Ireland which develops, finances and operates public and environmental infrastructure. The firm has over forty facilities all over the United Kingdom and projects an annual turnover of one hundred and twenty one million pounds.
