Sortera Creates The Leading Construction Waste Company In London



Sortera, foremost within collection, recycling, processing, and sale of residual products from the

building and construction sector in Northern Europe, strengthens its market position in the construction

waste market across Greater London by acquiring Reston Waste Management Ltd. Reston Waste is

one of the largest independent waste companies in South West London.


Following the recent integration and rebranding of previously acquired companies O’Donovan Waste

Disposal (acquired in 2022) and GBN Services (acquired in 2023) to Sortera, the addition of Reston

Waste makes Sortera the largest independent construction waste company across Greater London.


The acquisition is strategically important as it extends Sortera’s footprint into South West London,

enabling customers to benefit from an expanded service area, enhanced efficiencies and improved

response times, serving projects from residential to large commercial developments.


Mark McCleery, Managing Director of Sortera’s UK operations commented:


“We are delighted to welcome the Reston team to our growing Sortera family here in London. Reston is a very impressive company with an offering centered on customers and sustainability."

"This is very much aligned with the Sortera way of working. Their geographic focus on South London is a perfect complement to our current operations in North and Central London. Our third acquisition in the UK

allows us to continue our journey of creating the largest construction waste recycling company with a

focus on service, quality and sustainability."


Andrew Reston, Managing Director and owner of Reston Waste said:.


“This day marks an important milestone in the history of Reston Waste. I am confident that Sortera is

the best home for the business that we have built over the years and look forward to our joint future

together. Sortera’s values are very similar to how we have run our business, especially with its focus

on sustainability and customer satisfaction. This transaction ensures our legacy of excellence

continues.”


With the acquisition of Reston, Sortera continues its international growth journey. With a strong

commitment to sustainability and quality, Sortera’s ambition is to drive the transition to a more circular

construction waste economy across Northern Europe. Reston is part of Sortera from 11
