We employ around 12,000 people across the wide spectrum of the environmental services that are central to the expanding low carbon economy.
Conscious of our environmental and social responsibilities, we promote the use of sustainable waste treatment methods to recover valuable raw materials. We have invested over £1 billion in the UK’s recycling and waste infrastructure and are renowned for our integrated waste management solutions.
Over a third of the UK’s population benefit from our services including refuse, recycling, street cleansing and grounds maintenance provided through more than one hundred Local Authorities across the UK.
Our commercial and industrial customers can take advantage of recycling and waste collection, treatment, recovery and disposal services for dry, liquid and hazardous waste. We also provide on-site industrial services, decommissioning and emergency response as well as a range of compliance services.
Veolia Environmental Services is at the forefront of new technology and committed to staying ahead of the latest legislation with over 150 dedicated staff based in our unique European research and development facilities.
