Bins to bikes and back again: a day in the life of Tony Nunn, General Manager at Egbert Taylor
I’ve been with Egbert Taylor for 38 years now.

BIN BRITAIN!
We’re only just getting over a global pandemic, so let’s not dwell on how it impacted UK organisations overly reliant on imported bins (or materials required to build bins, for that matter) other than to say that international supply chains were hugely affected. Instead, let’s celebrate six benefits of buying British products – with a focus on…
The wonder of the weld: a day in the life of Lee McDermott
I’ve been at Egbert Taylor for over 20 years and I can honestly say that there’s no other manufacturer that welds to the quality we do.

Bin Brief – Summer 2021
After what’s been a pretty wet summer, the sun is finally out. And, just as the weather continues to heat up, so too is activity at our factory as local authorities begin to get everything ready as the nation moves towards a less restrictive period. On that point, I’d like to take the opportunity to…

Bin Brief – Spring 2021
As spring begins to make its presence felt and the shadow of Covid starts to subside, we thought this would be a perfect time to share with you some of our customers’ recycling successes and the positive steps that many local authorities are currently taking to reduce contamination.
Why firms must help the public sector create social value
It wasn’t too long ago that local authorities and private sector companies operated in isolation. In the case of Taylor bins, a local authority would choose an appropriate product and we would manufacture it. It was very much a transactional, client-supplier relationship, and one that began in 1961 when Taylor first opened its doors. At…

Waste not, want not
By Adam Ramsay, Area Business Manager for Scotland at Egbert Taylor Imagine this scenario. You’re a waste manager at a local authority who, over the years, has seen the council partner with a number of contractors, all of which have had different livery and put their bins through different degrees of usage. The contractors have…
Cost effective bin procurement in a post-Covid world
By Mark Jenkins, Sales Director at Egbert Taylor By now, there can’t be many people under the illusion that things are going to be easy over the coming weeks, months and even years. The government has implemented a number of commendable measures since March, with the furlough scheme being particularly notable. However, what goes up…

Back in 2010, when I first joined Egbert Taylor, the waste and recycling industry was completely new to me – I’d been in the fireplace sector for 14 years up until that point! Within a couple of years I was fully up to speed. However, I was amazed at the rate at which the sector…
