About Ben and Jerry

Our Story

Ben and Jerry was founded with a simple aim: to provide a reliable, honest, and environmentally responsible waste collection service rooted firmly in the local community. What began as a small operation serving neighbouring streets has grown into a trusted name for waste collection in the area and a dependable rubbish removal service for homes, landlords, and businesses alike.

From the outset, Ben and Jerry focused on doing things properly. That meant showing up when promised, handling waste responsibly, and treating every customer with respect. Over the years, this approach has allowed the business to grow steadily through word of mouth and long-standing relationships within the community.

Years of Experience in Local Waste Collection

With many years of continuous operation behind us, Ben and Jerry has built extensive experience across domestic and commercial waste collection. We have supported everything from small household clear-outs to ongoing area rubbish removal for estates, shops, and local organisations.

Our familiarity with the area means we understand local access challenges, collection routes, and disposal requirements. Whether working near busy high streets, residential estates, or quieter cul-de-sacs, our team operates efficiently and with minimal disruption.

Fully Licensed and Compliant

Ben and Jerry is registered with the Environment Agency as a licensed waste carrier. This ensures all waste collected is transported and disposed of legally, in accordance with current UK regulations. Our licensing provides reassurance to customers that their waste will not be fly-tipped or mishandled.

Every collection is carried out under the Duty of Care, with waste taken only to authorised local waste facilities and borough recycling centres. Compliance is not an afterthought for us; it is the foundation of how we operate.

Trained Staff You Can Trust

Our team is made up of fully trained staff who understand safe lifting, responsible handling, and correct waste segregation. We invest in ongoing training to ensure our crews remain up to date with regulations and best practice across waste collection and rubbish removal services.

Just as importantly, our staff are local. They know the streets, estates, and neighbourhoods they work in, from long-established residential roads to newer developments near local parks and community hubs. This familiarity allows us to work efficiently and respectfully in shared spaces.

Our Mission

The mission at Ben and Jerry is clear: to deliver dependable waste collection in the area while reducing environmental impact and supporting the local community. We believe waste services should be straightforward, transparent, and carried out with care for both people and place.

We aim to make rubbish removal easier for residents and businesses while ensuring that as much waste as possible is diverted away from landfill.

Eco-Responsibility and Recycling

Environmental responsibility sits at the heart of Ben and Jerry. We operate a recycling-first approach, separating materials wherever possible and working closely with local recycling partners and recognised waste facilities.

Waste collected from homes and businesses is taken to nearby transfer stations and borough recycling centres, where materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, and green waste can be processed appropriately. By working with established facilities rather than distant sites, we reduce unnecessary transport miles and support the local recycling infrastructure.

Recycling Partnerships

Over the years, Ben and Jerry has built strong working relationships with authorised waste facilities and recycling centres serving the wider area. These partnerships allow us to maintain high recycling rates and ensure compliance across all waste streams.

Our collaboration with local operators also helps us stay informed about changes in recycling requirements and accepted materials, which we pass on to our customers through clear guidance and practical advice.

Strong Community Ties

Ben and Jerry is proud to be part of the local community. Our work regularly takes us through familiar streets, residential estates, and well-known local landmarks, from neighbourhood parks where families gather to established shopping parades and community centres.

We have supported clearances for residents near local green spaces, assisted landlords on well-known housing estates, and provided reliable rubbish removal services close to borough-run recycling centres. These everyday interactions have helped shape our understanding of local needs and expectations.

Being visible and accountable in the community matters to us. Our reputation is built locally, and we work hard to maintain the trust placed in us by the people and businesses we serve.

Looking Ahead

As Ben and Jerry continues to grow, our focus remains the same: responsible waste collection, environmentally sound rubbish removal, and genuine local service. We are committed to improving recycling outcomes, maintaining compliance, and supporting the area we call home.

By combining experience, local knowledge, and a strong ethical approach, Ben and Jerry remains dedicated to providing a waste collection service the community can rely on today and into the future.
