Wastecare Ltd Acquires Cleaneco Group Ltd to Expand National Environmental Services Capability

Wakefield, 12th August – Wastecare Ltd is pleased to announce the acquisition of Cleaneco Group Ltd, further strengthening its position as a leading provider of sustainable waste management and environmental services across the UK. This strategic purchase enhances Wastecare’s capacity to deliver innovative, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions to a broader customer base nationwide.
The acquisition brings together two highly complementary businesses. Wastecare’s established expertise in hazardous waste management, high-temperature incineration, industrial packaging, plastic recycling, and waste processing will now be combined with Cleaneco’s specialist services in aerosol recycling, industrial packaging reconditioning, secure destruction, and plastic recovery. Together, the integrated organisation will set new standards in waste processing, circular economy solutions, and carbon footprint reduction.
“This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Wastecare,” said Peter Hunt, Chairman of Wastecare Ltd. “Cleaneco has built an excellent reputation for innovation and service in the waste sector. By bringing them into the Wastecare Group, we will strengthen our national network and broaden the range of services we offer, all while continuing our shared commitment to environmental responsibility.”
David Cuckney, Managing Director of Cleaneco Group Ltd, commented: “Becoming part of the Wastecare Group is a fantastic opportunity for Cleaneco’s team, customers, and partners. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and this move enables us to scale our impact, access new resources, and continue delivering industry-leading sustainable solutions.”
The acquisition will see Cleaneco operate under the Wastecare Group umbrella, with further details on integration and branding to follow in the coming months. Customers of both companies can expect continuity of service, a seamless transition, and an expanded service offering as operations are aligned.
