A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the RIG Roseland Open Day and the official Builders Yard Shop Launch last Friday!
It was wonderful to welcome so many of our existing customers, future clients, and members of the local community who came along to show their support. Your enthusiasm made the event a great success and a memorable day for the whole team.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Recycle it Global (RIG), our mission is simple — to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill by providing a responsible and sustainable recycling service.
At RIG Roseland, we’re proud to offer a complete waste management and aggregate supply service for Cornwall and Devon.
Our fully licensed Waste Transfer Station takes the hassle out of waste disposal by sorting and separating materials on your behalf. We work with a diverse range of clients — from commercial businesses and construction companies to holiday home owners ensuring that waste is recycled and repurposed through sustainable processing methods.
Through our work, we’re transforming waste into high-quality, reusable materials, helping to reduce environmental impact and build a greener, more sustainable future for the South West.
Supplying Quality Aggregates and Materials
Alongside our recycling services, we also supply a wide selection of aggregates, perfect for construction, landscaping, and infrastructure projects.
By converting waste into valuable resources, we help our customers cut landfill use, reduce costs, and support a circular economy that benefits both business and the environment.
Introducing the RIG Builders Yard Shop
We’re thrilled to officially open the doors to our newly refurbished Builders Yard Shop at RIG Roseland designed to be your local hub for quality materials and expert advice.
Whether you’re a trade professional or a DIY enthusiast, you’ll find everything you need under one roof, including:
- Aggregates & sands
- Cement & concrete products
- Landscaping supplies
- Timber & fencing
- Bricks, blocks & paving
- Tools & accessories
We stock trusted brands such as Sika, Dewalt, Faithfull, Vortex, C-Tec, Unifix, Prodec, and Bulldozer Pro, ensuring you always get reliable, professional-grade products.
So, while you’re dropping off your CDE waste or collecting your next dumpy bag of aggregate, why not pop in and grab those smaller essentials? It’s the perfect way to save time and shop locally.
