Eden Community Recycling is a not-for-profit company that grew out of a voluntary group, Eden Charity Recycling.

From one collection point in Penrith’s fire station car park in 1981, we have grown to have our own depot and recycling centres across Eden.

As a not-for-profit company, we put sustainability before profitability and endeavour to provide the recycling services that people want rather than just the ones which are financially attractive.
