Gaskells exists to deliver unrivalled business and commercial waste collection that is cost-effective, fully compliant, and genuinely sustainable. From a single wheelie bin to roll-on-roll-off containers and compactors, we build the right solution for every business — diverting as much waste from landfill as possible and giving customers clear, honest recycling data they can act on.
To be the North West's most trusted independent waste and recycling partner — proving that responsible waste management and commercial value go hand in hand. We invest in our own Materials Recycling Facility and technology so more material is recovered, reused, and reprocessed, and so every client can see the difference their waste makes.
Gaskells is independent and privately owned — not part of a national chain — which means decisions are made locally and service is built around each customer rather than a call-centre script. The company has invested over £3 million in its own 24/7 Materials Recycling Facility, so waste is sorted, recovered, and reprocessed in-house rather than simply hauled away. Clients receive monthly recycling reports, free waste audits, and a single point of contact across the North West and Wales. With ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 accreditation, Gaskells pairs environmental responsibility with the compliance and reliability that businesses depend on. Because waste matters — to your business, and to everyone at Gaskells.
Every load is an opportunity to recover value and protect the environment. Responsible handling is the starting point of everything we do.
We divert as much as possible from landfill through our own Materials Recycling Facility, reprocessing and recovering wherever we can.
Privately owned and rooted in the North West — decisions are made locally, and service is tailored to each business we work with.
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 accredited, with full duty-of-care documentation so clients always meet their obligations.
Monthly recycling reports and free waste audits give customers a clear, honest picture of exactly what happens to their waste.
A modern fleet and a 24/7 facility keep collections on schedule for businesses of every size, across every sector.
Gaskells has spent more than two decades building one of the largest independent, privately owned waste management and recycling companies in the North West of England. From its base in Bootle, Liverpool, the business grew by doing the fundamentals properly — reliable collections, straight-talking advice, and a genuine commitment to recycling over landfill.
As customer needs grew, so did Gaskells. The company invested over £3 million in a 24/7 Materials Recycling Facility, bringing sorting and reprocessing in-house and continually upgrading its technology to recover more material. That investment is what lets Gaskells offer monthly recycling reports and demonstrate real diversion from landfill — not just promises.
Today Gaskells Waste Services Ltd serves businesses across Merseyside, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, the Wirral, Shropshire and Wales, with facilities in Liverpool, Telford, Caernarfon, Anglesey and Welshpool. Whatever the sector or scale, the guiding principle stays the same — waste matters, and handling it well is good for business and for the planet.
Businesses of every size across the North West and Wales that need reliable, compliant commercial waste collection — from independent shops and offices to hospitality, healthcare, education, and manufacturing operations that want to recycle more and cut landfill costs.
Larger sites and multi-site operators needing compactors, balers, roll-on-roll-off containers, and tailored recycling schemes — plus event organisers, caravan parks, and specialist waste producers looking for a single accredited partner to manage it all.
