Celebrating achievements over the last 50 years!

Essex Reclamation Ltd celebrates its 50th year anniversary this week, a leading, independent waste management company based in Witham, Essex.

We are continuing to go from strength to strength!

Started in the 1950’s by Bob Short, with his sharp entrepreneurial character and supported by his wife Jean, the original man with a van,  trading in rabbit skins, kraft paper and hessian sacks.

Chris, his son joined the business in the early 70’s and Kay his younger daughter in the early 90’s, Janice his elder daughter has always been involved in the business and Jean, having reached the marvellous age of 90 is still attending management meetings.

Over the years, through hard work and determination, the business has grown beyond all recognition, processing over 60 tonnes of recyclable materials each year, cardboard, paper, plastics, metals etc. We are proud to be independent and family run, focused on the needs of the business and always looking to achieve more.

We are so proud of our achievements over the past 50 years, earning a great reputation in the industry by providing excellent service to our clients.

We wish to thank all our staff past and present who have helped the business grow and thrive over the years, our longest serving member of staff has been with us since 1978!

Here’s to the next 50!
