The company combines exceptional customer service, industry knowledge and competitive pricing, making us the first choice when it comes to meeting and exceeding companies' waste management needs.

Live-site dismantling and demolition of electrical equipment

Our team of highly trained staff provide live-site dismantling and demolition services for heavy electrical equipment throughout the UK. Whether the project is the complete dismantlement of a power station, the routine removal of a single plant unit or an emergency response following equipment failure, Celtic Recycling plans and executes the recovery operations expertly, efficiently and safely.

Removal of hazardous waste from electrical equipment

Celtic Recycling is licensed to handle all hazardous wastes encountered during the recovery of electrical equipment. Appointing Celtic Recycling for your equipment disposals guarantees compliance with your duty of care and other legal responsibilities regarding the removal of hazardous waste.

PCB disposal and decontamination

Celtic Recycling offer clients a complete PCB package, including site surveys of suspect equipment, oil screening for low-level contamination, and additional in-house laboratory analysis if necessary — followed by recovery and disposal of the contaminated plant.

All operational activities are fully documented and our clients are provided with a complete audit trail to demonstrate compliance with their environmental duty of care.

SF6 gas recovery and disposal

At Celtic Recycling, we have installed storage facilities and recovery systems — incorporating molecular filters — to ensure that we reclaim 100% of the SF6 gas received at our works.

The in-house technical team then analyse the gas properties to establish if it is suitable for recycling. If the gas quality has deteriorated to a point where recycling is not possible, then it is despatched for destruction at a licensed, high-temperature incineration plant.

Health, safety and environmental compliance for electrical equipment recovery and recycling

Celtic Recycling is listed on both the utility vendor database and the railway Link-up supplier qualification and registration scheme. The company has been independently audited under the associated 'Verify' system and is formally approved as a specialist contractor to the electricity industry.

Celtic Recycling's unwavering commitment to health, safety and environmental compliance has led to excellent relationships with the regulatory authorities, particularly the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive.
