Professional & Reliable
Today, more than ever waste and waste management are critical issues for us all. The pressing need to look after the environment and Government legislation will combine to transform the industry to an even greater extent over the coming years. But thankfully, for us all, long gone are the days of quick fix solutions and haphazard disposal.

Our aim is to provide our cutomers with the most professional and reliable service the industry can offer. We will do this by constantly keeping abreast of the latest innovations in technology and waste management techniques.

At the heart of our operation is our state-of-the-art recycle centre. It has the capacity to service the whole of the East Anglian region. Over the years our continuing development has allowed us to build a solid reputation with key customers including, builders, manufacturers and Local Authorities. Also, in that time we gained an unparallel understanding of their needs, enabling us to meet or exceed them.

Waste Management & Your Business
Reducing your carbon footprint, duty of care issues, the environment, landfill tax increasing each year and the types of waste they will accept, plus your own company's green credentials, if not addressed, will all have a big impact on your profitability. To combat all of this, an effective waste management programme will help you to accommodate current and future demands, minimising the effect on the all-important bottom line.

Having Blue Star as your partner will allow you to concentrate on your core activities knowing that your waste management activities will be looked after by one of the industries leading companies.

Innovation
Investment in new technology is key in the ever-increasing demands placed on the waste management industry. Our aim is to constantly review and evaluate the latest developments in equipment and management systems. This activity and our determination to get it right, and to make the appropriate investments, has allowed us to gain a market leading position within the region.

Our Staff
All staff in the recycle centre are trained to use the equipment housed within the depot. RTITB standards are adhered to and refreshed every three years. Specialists in this aspect of the waste management industry carry out our comprehensive training programme.

Drivers, although holding current licenses for category C+E (or higher) are also trained to RTITB standards for the use of delivery vehicles, this includes, placements, collection skips, bins and RoRo bins. As with station staff refresher courses are taken by all every three years.

Health & Safety
To ensure total compliance, our Health and Safety policy is overseen by a consultant, who brings Tech IOSH qualifications, and is a member of RoSPA and Mesh. Although, we have our own Health and Safety policy we adhere to and abide by the existing requirements of any company we work with.

Our Environment
We all have a duty of care for the environment. We feel that professional waste management compaies should play an important part in its sustainability. Although, by the very nature of our industry it ca be messy, every effort must be made to minimise the effect on the environment. At Blue Star we go to great lengths to protect our local area, and as a result of our activities we also help to care for many other environments within the region.

Legislation & Guidelines
All of Transfer Recycle Stations must achieve a standard of Professional Competence by gaining a Certificate of Technical Competence (COTC).

This is overseen by the Environmental Agency. It constantly checks and monitors our depot, work systems plus other environmental aspects of our business.

A quarterly report of all waste brought in or taken out is registered. This report stipulates whether it is recycled or goes to landfill, or if it is special waste, its transport and destination. To support this activity a daily diary is kept ready for inspection by the Environmental Agency who inspects the TRA, without notification.
