Everything Managed Group: business waste management in the United Kingdom

Everything Managed Group is a British business group dedicated to business waste management. It presents itself as a leading force in sustainable waste management and claims to serve thousands of customers across the UK with environmentally friendly, compliant waste disposal solutions. The group describes itself as a champion of the circular economy and states that its goal is to help businesses of all sizes optimise their waste management practices and turn waste into new products.

Origin and structure of the group

The company was established in 2021 with the aim of helping businesses manage an aspect that, in its own words, is often seen as mundane and unpleasant: their waste. Everything Managed Group is made up of six brands, a combination of acquired and newly created businesses, developed from an understanding of customer needs. The company states that some customers want a basic waste offering that covers minimum legal requirements, while others prefer more comprehensive solutions, self-managed or with personal telephone support.

The group operates across the UK and, according to its data, has more than 40,000 customers across all its companies. It has three directors, although day-to-day management falls to an independent management team; the directors perform supervisory or ownership roles. The head of the management team is CEO Damon Smith, with fifteen years of international experience in the medical, personal protective equipment, DIY and outdoor sectors, and four years specialising in the circular economy and waste management. The company credits him with growing the group from £22 million to £60 million in turnover in four years.

Services and operational approach

The group offers waste collection and disposal solutions for businesses, with simple fixed pricing across all services, according to information from its WasteManaged brand. Available options range from the minimum coverage required by law to broader solutions with additional services and options, as well as self-managed arrangements without personal support or with direct telephone contact.

Everything Managed Group states that it works only with suppliers that aim to avoid sending any waste to landfill. Every supplier goes through a selection and due diligence process and is audited annually to verify its reliability, regulatory compliance, service quality and ability to recycle everything that can be recycled.

Regulatory context and circular economy

The company frames its activity within the regulatory changes in the UK sector. It notes that Simpler Recycling legislation requires businesses to separate waste into specific containers, such as general waste, glass, dry mixed recycling and food waste. It also mentions Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which makes producers responsible for the entire lifecycle of their packaging and encourages more sustainable packaging solutions. It also refers to the deposit return scheme, due to be implemented in the UK in October 2027, which covers single-use drink containers and encourages their recycling through a financial reward.

The group cites as a reference that, since 2000, the amount of waste sent to landfill in the UK has decreased by more than 60% thanks to increased recycling and waste prevention measures, although the country still generates around 200 million tonnes of waste per year and is among the world's largest producers of municipal waste.

Employment and regional presence

Everything Managed Group is based in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne and presents itself as one of the fastest-growing companies in the region. The company works with Newcastle College to offer entry-level jobs to young people in the North East of England, with training and investment in their professional development, and also has more senior roles in IT and data, sales and customer service. According to its data, the group has more than doubled in size, from £25 million to £60 million in turnover in the last three years.

Rating and commercial activity

The company states that it scores four stars on Trustpilot. Its WasteManaged brand is presented as an option to fix waste collection costs, with simple, fair and fixed pricing for all needs. The group encourages requesting a quote through its waste management companies, after which an expert contacts the customer to analyse their needs.
