South Ayrshire Council has cut waste contamination in four problem areas, all of which were suffering from severe fly tipping, by giving its waste strategy an overhaul with the help of Droitwich bin manufacturer Egbert Taylor. Up until this spring, the council had relied on four 240L wheeled bins per flat to manage the general…
Impact Environmental Group (IEG) has acquired Duraflex, the brand behind Chesterfield-based Container Components Europe. It is the US firm’s second acquisition in the UK since acquiring Egbert H. Taylor & Co Ltd in November 2021. The decision to purchase Duraflex is part of IEG’s global strategy to build a comprehensive waste solutions organisation that caters…
As far as longstanding members of the team go, I’m somewhere towards the top of the Egbert Taylor family tree. I joined the business on 16 June 1997, back when I had a full head of hair (it was curly, too). Egbert Taylor – or Taylor, as it was then – was still a family…
I joined the Egbert Taylor family in November 1994 – so quite a while ago. I began working on the shop floor and then spent six years as a welder. When the job for Test and Prototype Engineer came up around the mid 2000s, I couldn’t resist applying. I was heavily into cars and motorbikes…
Over the last two years I’ve turned into somewhat of an evangelist. Not about a particular TV show, trend or latest fad. No, my chosen topic is, sadly, waste. Actually, I’m not sorry. In fact, those who’ve read my recent day in the life piece, which revealed how even on my honeymoon I was taking pictures of…
Background Cannock Chase Council was looking for ways to improve recycling rates at the Moss Road residential estate in Cannock. At the time, recycling rates were almost non-existent, with multi-occupancy dwellings making collection a logistical challenge. The council had previously worked with Egbert Taylor to improve recycling and waste collection in the town centre, so…
Unlike many of Egbert Taylor’s long timers, I’m relatively new. Well, six years in – but still, compared to some people here I’m a newbie. I joined the business from Doves Farm Foods in Hungerford. It was great, but not when you’re commuting 210 miles each day. It wasn’t always that way, though. I moved…
Egbert Taylor, the 60-year-old Worcester-based container manufacturer, has its sights set on growing its presence in the South East of England after appointing waste veteran Frank Adie, who joins the business as Area Business Manager for London. Frank, who has worked in the waste sector for over two decades, joins Egbert Taylor from Viridor where…
I started at Egbert Taylor back in June 2010, having joined from the fireplace industry. I had worked at a North East-based British fireplace manufacturer for 14 years and by the time I left I was the firm’s national key accounts manager. I left the role because the firm couldn’t compete with cheap Chinese imports,…
Here are our 6 reasons to celebrate British made products – with a particular focus on ours.
I’ve been with Egbert Taylor for two and a half years now. In that time, I’ve managed to move around the business and gain knowledge within different departments, which is great for my experience. I’m currently heading up Customer Services, working on Export and providing support to all the Business Managers in the field. It…
When Edinburgh City Council decided to launch the food collection scheme it was aware of the issues of weight and speed of decomposition. The council approached Egbert Taylor to design a bespoke solution for the project. Drawing on 50 years of research and development experience, Egbert Taylor was able to work closely with the council to develop collection points that were suitable for food collection within just two weeks of the initial briefing.
We’re delighted to announce that Egbert Taylor has retained its place on Scotland Excel’s Supply and Delivery of Recycle and Refuse Containers procurement framework. This is incredibly important to us for the following reasons: It means that we can continue supplying local authorities in Scotland (and that councils in the country can readily buy steel bins from…
