Over the past 12 months, waste operators reported 1,518 fires across UK sites, costing the industry over £1 billion. And 2026 is on track to be the worst year yet.

Behind every fire is a real risk to skip drivers, sorting teams, firefighters, and the neighbourhoods they operate in.

Our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, has been featured in the latest issue of Materials Recycling World (MRW), talking about the next chapter for Sortera UK.

PJ talks about bringing our depots together as one team, the £5 million investment at our Edmonton facility, handling over 800,000 tonnes of construction waste a year, and the industry challenges that come with it, from rising costs to the need for proper enforcement so responsible operators aren't undercut.

A great insight into where Sortera UK is heading, and why it matters.

A huge well done to our team of fire wardens who recently completed their latest fire safety training, covering both classroom theory and hands-on extinguisher practice.

At Sortera, we've always made sure our people are well equipped, and regular training keeps those skills sharp.

In an industry handling high-risk materials every day, having confident, trained fire wardens across our depots isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential.

London's construction and demolition waste collection has historically been cheaper than the national average, despite this being one of the most expensive places in the country to operate, with higher property costs, congestion, insurance, and compliant disposal. That's not a bargain. It's a market that hasn't caught up with reality.

Underneath, the pressure keeps building: volatile disposal costs, shrinking treatment capacity, more site fires, tighter regulation, and Digital Waste Tracking landing in October 2026. The industry is quietly absorbing costs no one priced in, and that has led to a tipping point.

Our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, has written an opinion piece on why cheap isn't the same as good value, and what a commercial model built to actually last would look like.

A new opinion piece from our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, makes the case that London’s construction and demolition (C&D) waste sector has outgrown its own commercial model, and that fixing it matters for everyone from site managers to policymakers.

The UK construction sector generates over 60 million tonnes of waste annually, accounting for roughly 62% of total UK waste generation.

Every container through our depots is an opportunity to recover and recycle valuable materials, including timber, metal, concrete, and plasterboard.

Sorted correctly, these materials stay within the circular economy, reducing the demand for virgin resources and lowering emissions.

Get in touch to find out how we can help you manage your construction waste responsibly.
