Join us for the 2020 Scottish LARAC Conference which will look in depth at the key issues around running an efficient and effective local authority waste and recycling service.

The conference looks to provide an update on topics such as the household recycling charter, extended producer responsibility and the deposit return scheme.

Visitors will also hear from a range of experts discussing what the future might look like in addition to a range of practical case studies from across local authority waste and recycling collection services covering technology, contamination, data and more.

Family Run, Forward Thinking.

It all began 40 years ago, back in 1974. Our founder saved up just enough money to buy a small label press, a telephone, and rent some space in the corner of an old meat abattoir.  He called around searching for work, and when it came in, he printed it, and delivered it himself.  This was the level of service that was instilled in the company right from the start. Slowly but surely, the company grew, continuously investing back into newer and better technology.
