Established by Joe Shorten in 1975, Shorten Environmental is a family-run haulage company specialising in waste and recycling transport.

Over the past four decades, our industry has undergone significant transformation, shifting from landfilling waste exclusively to tackling the current challenge of diverting increasing volumes of waste towards recycling. As a company, we have consistently adapted to meet our customers' evolving needs, maintaining an extensive modern vehicle fleet and offering a comprehensive range of trailers, including Walking Floors, Ejectors and compactors to cater to diverse requirements.

Our commitment to excellence extends to providing dependable services to a wide spectrum of clients, including local authorities, major waste management and recycling companies, and smaller waste operations. Leveraging cutting-edge vehicles and an advanced fleet management system, we ensure our customers receive a cost-effective and dependable service while also contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.
