What Happened
Elite Refuse Ltd, based near Retford, operates an acre-sized facility with three large workshops, high-specification lifts, and testing equipment. The business recently added a new office section and an extensive parts department that supplies approved new, used, and refurbished parts.
“Honesty, reliability, and unrivalled customer service are what drives us at Elite Refuse. We believe in taking a different approach to refuse services that prioritise the customer experience and inspire positive change for the environment.”
Maui is exploring introducing food waste vehicles to meet climbing demand following Simpler Recycling legislation, and is reviewing how the fleet could accommodate electric RCVs. He also aims to grow the team and expand the company's presence across the UK.
“We’re proud to be supporting Elite Refuse Ltd’s journey to even greater growth. Maui and the team are a pleasure to work with and are clearly incredibly passionate about what they do.”
