A bit about Biffa's Reactive Services Division:

Reactive Services is a unique proposition within the UK waste industry; Operating as a key part of the Biffa business, we are here to solve complex waste challenges for current and new customers. Running our own standalone fleet of waste collection vehicles and backed by a significant partner network, we are there to deliver fast, responsive solutions to waste and resource needs that sit outside of the capabilities of Biffa's wider waste management structure. Whether that's collecting boilers and radiators from domestic heating installations, collecting and processing old kitchens or recycling coffee cups at national scale, we have the flexibility, capability and drive to solve problems and create new markets.

We believe different ideas, perspective and backgrounds are key to developing a creative and effective working environment which is why you'll find us championing diversity and equality at every turn.
