We practice what we preach,

we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk! 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - There is no Planet B!


At NuGen, our commitment to sustainability isn’t just a slogan—it’s our way of business. We believe actions speak louder than words, and every day, we’re dedicated to making a tangible difference, no matter how small, in our community and for our beautiful planet.

Making a Real Impact


In our business operations, we prioritise practical actions that benefit the environment. Whether it’s litter picking and clearing waste from commercial sites or assisting bereaved families with house clearances, we ensure that every item we handle is either reused, rehomed, donated, upcycled, or as a last resort, recycled. 


We collaborate only with material recycling facilities who share our commitment to zero landfill waste.

Meaningful Solutions


Our approach goes beyond recycling efforts. At our Broxburn depot, we've kitted out and built our facilities using discarded and unwanted items, demonstrating the potential in proper resource management. 


We actively support community projects, small businesses, and charities by repurposing what others might consider waste and send to landfill.

NuGen operates with sustainability at its core, ensuring every operation is as eco friendly as possible.


  • Direct Recycling: We transport those materials with no further use directly to specialised recycling facilities, minimising transportation and reducing carbon footprint.


  • Promoting Upcycling: We collaborate with companies and individuals dedicated to repurposing materials and promoting upcycling.


  • The Salvage Yard: We give old furniture a new lease on life through our Salvage Yard. Providing furniture and home furnishings at affordable prices. 


  • Vehicle Compliance: All our fleet complies with Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards, reducing emissions and consists of electric vehicles.


  • Community Engagement: We donate to charities, housing associations, and community projects, including Christmas and Easter gift drives, supporting local initiatives and helping those who need it.


  • Renewable Energy: Solar panels at our depot contribute to sustainable energy practices.
  • Local Focus: We maintain good long term relationships with multiple accounts across Scotland to minimise travel distances and environmental impact.


  • Zero Waste Policy: All Material Recycling Facilities and businesses we work with ensure 100% recycling with zero waste to landfill.


  • Food Banks: During any property clearances we date check any food and together with any toiletries and cleaning products we donate these to local food banks. 


  • Educating The Future: We collaborate with schools and other youth projects teaching them the importance of proper waste disposal at a young age. This includes litter picking sessions and discussions about the effect of littering on our planet.


  • Book Banks: We supply free book banks to community projects, shops, and cafes, replenishing them as needed.


  • Shelters for Nature: Using natural and recycled materials, we create bug hotels, a safe haven for insects that play a crucial role in pollination, pest control, and maintaining a healthy environment.

At NuGen, our team are committed to sustainability, it isn’t just a checkbox on the job sheet - it’s ingrained in everything we do. 


By actively reducing waste, supporting local communities, and promoting environmental awareness, we strive to leave a positive impact on our planet.
