For bodyshops & repair centres
Car bumper collection & recycling in the UK
Give waste plastic bumpers a practical route out of your bodyshop. Polywaste works with bodyshops and repair centres to arrange collection and recycling of suitable automotive plastics.
Which car bumpers can be recycled?
Contact us about damaged and replaced plastic car bumpers from vehicle repairs. Tell us the types of parts you have and whether they contain other materials or attachments, so we can confirm what is suitable before collection. We can also discuss other automotive hard plastics and vehicle lights.
Arrange a bumper collection
Send your site postcode, an estimate of the number of bumpers and how often you expect to need collection. Let us know about access restrictions and the storage space available. We will confirm availability, accepted materials and a quotation for your site.
Storage and preparation at your bodyshop
We can discuss bumper stillages, bins and bulk bag storage to suit your space and materials. Agree the preparation requirements with us before collection, and keep the agreed materials accessible for loading.
What happens after collection?
Suitable plastics are sorted and processed through granulation and compounding so that the material can be used again. The appropriate recycling route depends on the plastic type and its condition.
