Insurance is a necessity in all aspects of our lives, from our vehicles to homes and travel. For businesses insurance is vital, particularly for those that work within ‘at risk’ industries, such as the waste and recycling sector. Unfortunately, these businesses can often struggle to purchase competitively priced insurance, simply because premiums are so high. We at LMI Ltd have sought to offer a solution to this problem, as we believe that recycling insurance should be available to all businesses, regardless of their size or budget, at affordable premiums.

Insurance is essential within the waste and recycling industry due to the processes that these businesses follow on a daily basis. Employees regularly use heavy-duty machinery for the processing of waste, they often transport environmentally hazardous waste and many companies collect waste from businesses and clients, therefore they work in close contact with the public.

Through our website, business owners can browse information relating to our comprehensive recycling insurance policies and then by sending a quick online form, they can receive a competitively priced insurance quotation.

Despite our competitive pricing, our insurance policies offer full cover for all of the main aspects of the business that a company in this sector would require. This includes; public liability, employer’s liability, property, machinery and business interruption and we can also arrange vehicle and fleet insurance and other specialist policies including environmental liability insurance.

Whatever the size, budget or processes that a business undertakes, we are certain that we will be able to help – including plastic and paper recycling businesses, electronic waste, bio-mass plants and demolition waste. We are also now able to offer cover for timber and tyre processing.

To request a recycling insurance quotation and to find out just how much you could save, either call the number on our website or fill out our online enquiry form. If you have any questions and you are unable to find the answer you require on our website, our team would be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Traditionally, the recycling and waste disposal sectors have been viewed as high risk, which has led to various difficulties regarding effective recycling insurance – not least high premiums. As something of a niche market, firms can struggle to find reliable insurance through companies that they can trust. Thankfully, there’s one established insurance broker which has a specialist branch of operations specifically designed to provide competitive policies for this sector. RecycleSafe is a division of LMI Ltd which offers reasonable solutions in insurance and risk management for the waste and recycling industry through insurers Recyclesure – which are backed by Lloyds of London.

Here at RecycleSafe, we aim to help where few others can. This means that we’re committed to flexibility, and work closely with client and insurer to adapt and deal with any problems arising. We can provide accurate quotes quickly which involve no obligation to buy, and we also supply all of the terms and conditions of cover so that businesses can see exactly what they’re receiving for their investment.

Due to the industrial nature of the field, recycling and waste disposal operations can be hazardous to employees, visitors and the general public alike. Heavy and complex machinery coupled with constant vehicle access can inevitably lead to accidents, which is why comprehensive liability insurance is absolutely essential.

EU directives regarding hazardous substances are constantly shifting and changing too, meaning that firms could easily find themselves in breach of regulations unless they keep fully up to date on all legislation.

Effective risk management and insurance solutions can help firms make sense of this legislation to remain on the right side of the law, avoiding fines and legal action. Why not contact the friendly team here at RecycleSafe to find out if arranging recycling insurance through us could help you to make savings on the traditionally high premiums usually associated with your industry.
