Our story
Environmental Waste Controls was founded with a simple mission: to provide innovative, sustainable waste management solutions for businesses across the North West, Midlands and North Wales.
Over the decades since, we’ve grown from a small local operation into a trusted, established waste management company serving clients in both the private and public sectors — from our single site in Knowsley.
Our commitment to environmental responsibility, customer service and continuous improvement has made us a partner that organisations rely on to manage their waste properly.
We offer a cost-effective and sustainable Total Waste Management system
Our customer-focused, waste management business model is based on transparency with either fixed-price or pay-as-you-go offerings – whichever meets your business’s requirements.
100% Diverted from Landfill
Every load that enters our Material Recycling Facility is recycled, reused or diverted to energy recovery. That's only possible because we work upstream with customers to segregate waste at source — before it ever reaches our facility.
Zero to Landfill
We operate to a Zero to Landfill standard across every contract — supported by full waste transfer documentation, weighbridge records, and audited reporting available to every customer.
Fully Licensed & Regulated
Upper-Tier Waste Carrier, Broker and Dealer (CBDU158060), Environment Agency permitted, and triple ISO accredited (9001 quality, 14001 environmental, 45001 health and safety).
Decades of Experience
EWC has spent decades helping businesses, councils and NHS Trusts across the North West, Midlands and North Wales take control of their waste. Family-built, owner-operated, and still run from one site in Knowsley.
Our values
Reduction first
Helping customers reduce waste matters more than collecting it. Every contract starts with where waste can be reduced before it's collected.
Built for trust
NHS Trusts, councils and multi-site operators choose EWC because of how we manage their contracts. One accountable team. Audit-ready documentation. Operational consistency they can rely on.
Circular by design
We buy and refurbish compactors and balers, extending their working life rather than scrapping them. Reuse is built into the operating model.
