    www.ategrus.org 'The History of Private Sector Waste Disposal in the United Kingdom from the late 1970's to the mid 1990's' By Tim Byrne MCIWM Chartered Waste Manager. ISWA International Waste Manager Associate Member of ATEGRUS Commercial and Industrial Waste Collection and Mobile Compaction Vehicles The development of mobile compaction vehicles for the collection of commercial and industrial waste goes back to the 1970’s. In this period, the economy was buoyant and large quantities of waste needed collecting from industry and commerce. In this era, many smaller waste management companies existed and over the coming decades, they were aquired, by the national waste management Plc’s. In this era there were two national waste management companies in existence; Biffa, and Redland Purle. There were other regional waste management businesses such as Cleansing Service Group, Grundon, Hales Containers and Haul Waste as well www.ategrus.org as smaller waste management businesses such as Cartaways, Clugston Reclamation and Waste Plan in the West Midlands; Mix Concrete and Waste Disposal, had depots in Great Billing, Northampton its Head Office as well as in Coventry, Swindon and Bristol in the South East and the South West; Sam Hemmings with depots in Bristol, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire in the South, and Haul Waste which had depots across the South West e.g. Taunton, Bristol, Plymouth and Liskeard. Biffa and Commercial Waste Collection using Paladin and wheeled containers Biffa started using their first Paladin collection vehicles in the late 1970s when they purchased some Norba Hippo intermittent rear loaders with pencil bin hoist from Norba Ltd mounted onto Seddon Atkinson S34 4x2 chassis.
