Waste & resource management, end to end

From a single collection to a fully managed waste contract, Ignis Circular keeps your business compliant and your materials in the loop.

Core services

Everything you need to manage waste responsibly

We tailor our services to your sector and site, always prioritising reuse, recycling and recovery over disposal.

Commercial waste disposal

Scheduled and on-demand disposal of general, mixed-recycling, food and trade waste for businesses across Dorset, with full duty-of-care documentation provided every time.

MBT — materials recovery & treatment

At our MBT (Mechanical-Biological Treatment) facility, incoming loads are weighed, mechanically sorted to recover clean, market-ready recyclate, and the residual organic fraction is biologically treated.

Energy recovery (RDF)

Genuinely non-recyclable residual waste is processed and baled as Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), recovering energy at approved waste-to-energy facilities and keeping it out of landfill.

Local refuse waste disposal

Kerbside refuse collected by local authorities is delivered directly to our facility, where it enters our mechanical and biological treatment and recovery process.

Compliance & reporting

Waste transfer notes, hazardous-waste consignment notes and clear recycling reports to keep your environmental and ESG reporting audit-ready.

Our facility

Canford Recycling Centre — an MBT facility

We operate from the Canford Recycling Centre in Wimborne, an MBT (Mechanical-Biological Treatment) facility. MBT combines two stages under one roof: incoming waste is first mechanically sorted — screened, separated and picked to recover recyclable materials — and the remaining organic-rich fraction is then biologically treated to reduce its volume and stabilise it before recovery.

The result: more material recycled, residual waste turned into fuel rather than landfilled, and lower emissions from every tonne we handle.

  • Mechanical sorting — recovering paper, card, plastics, metals and more from mixed loads.
  • Biological treatment — reducing and stabilising the organic fraction of residual waste.
  • Fully permitted — operating under Environment Agency Permit No. EPR/FP3393SB.
