Products and Services
We work closely with local charities & authorities to provide a sustainable clothing recycling service
The company’s high level of service and commitment is universally acknowledged.
We service local authorities with textile banks and bulk collections from local car parks, Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and Material Recovery Facilities (MRF).
We own and maintain a fleet of over 80 specialists, GPS tracked vehicles with onboard weighing facilities with fully trained, uniformed drivers.
Wilcox’s computerised sorting and processing facility is an industry leader in the UK and Europe.
Our pre-sort system is our first sorting process at Wilcox. Our staff ensure the removal of items from our conveyor belt system including the removal of shoes, bulk material and any contaminants. This eases the volume of material that would need to be removed from our next process, our first sort.
Wilcox has one of the most advanced sorted systems in the world.
Our first sort is the next process, our fully trained staff grade the original material into a large number of sub-sorted grades ready for second sorting.
Our sub-sorted products are transported via our conveyor belt from first to the second sort. These products are then graded, quality checked and will be turned into our finished product ready to be packed for export.
We have four baling machines including two fully automated machines, enabling the production of approx. 2100 bales, of between 40-55kg , over a 24 hour period. We also have two Ken Mills baling machines enabling the production of approx. 260 large 500kg bales over a 24 hour period.
We load up to 6 40ft high cube containers every day using our fleet of forklift trucks, our factory has six available loading bays enabling the safe, fast and efficient loading of our containers. These containers are easily tracked using an online system and with the assistance of our dedicated freight forwarder.
We provide local authorities with textile banks and bulk containers, collecting from local car parks, Household Waste Recycling Centres and Material Recovery Facilities.
We service more than 400 different charities collecting textiles, shoes, bags and belts on a weekly basis.
