Really helpful - thank you!

I'm the Chair of the Academy Community Councillors at our local school and we needed a large pile of rubbish taking away after a big clear out over the summer holidays. GWR Waste Management were really helpful at advising on the size of skip we needed (their suggestion to get a bigger skip to begin with rather than need 2 small skips was very sensible) we were very grateful that they took away a large pile of unsightly rubbish in such a timely way. Thank you!

Hi Richard. Thank you for your feedback, we take this very seriously. Our records show that services were provided as requested, and when you announced the closure of your business, there was an outstanding balance for these services. Steps had to be taken to recover the balance owed for services rendered. We understand that closing a business can be a challenging time, and we aim to handle all customers with care and fairness.

Recommended, flexible & competitive

GWR was recommended by a local garage so I sent a message via their website to get a quote. The next day the quotes were issued for 3 different sites. When we signed up we already had a lot of rubbish but no bins, thankfully this wasn't an issue, GWR organised a van to be sent round that day, it was all gone within a few hours of signing the quote. Also, due to the nature of our business we don't operate all year round so a month after signing we are on a break for a few months and this wasn't an issue at all. Great, what more can you want.

£600 cancellation fee

After working with them for over 1 year they asked £600 for cancellation fee. We needed to close our business and now they want us to charge for one more year. We never been told this when we signed the contract.

Hi Alex Sammy,

Thank you for leaving a review. We take feedback very seriously; however, I’m afraid we cannot find any record matching your name or details. Please could you contact us at info@greatwesternrecycling.co.uk or call our team at 0300 303 4856. Thank you.

Very helpful

Recently set up a contract with GWR, and it was an incredibly simple and easy process. We had quite a few queries due to problems with a previous supplier, but the office staff have been very helpful and easy to get hold of, sorting all our issues. Whenever we have questions about waste, GWR always go above and beyond to help us
