Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer uPVC recycling near me?
Reframe Recycling provides uPVC and PVC window frame collections across the North West, North Wales, the Midlands and scheduled routes through western England down to Dorset. Service availability and minimum quantities vary by region, so send us photographs, the collection postcode and an approximate quantity for confirmation.
Do you offer free uPVC collection?
Yes, we offer free uPVC and PVC frame collection for suitable quantities. This usually includes old window frames, doors and conservatory frames from trade jobs, window replacement work, refurbishment projects and larger clear-outs.
For very small amounts, collection may depend on whether we already have a nearby route planned. Send us photos, the postcode and an idea of the amount, and we’ll let you know whether it can be collected or added to an existing run.
Do you collect double glazing waste?
We collect old uPVC and PVC frames from double-glazing replacement work, including window frames, doors and conservatory frames. Our service supports window fitters, builders, installers, contractors and refurbishment teams across our regional collection network. Frames should normally be deglazed unless otherwise agreed for a larger commercial project.
Do you pay cash or offer a rebate for old uPVC windows?
For larger quantities, we may be able to offer cash or a rebate for old uPVC and PVC window frames, depending on the amount of material, the collection location and the type of frames.
Smaller collections are usually handled as free collection where the quantity and route make it viable. Send us a photo, the postcode and an idea of the quantity, and we’ll let you know what collection option is available.
Do frames need the glass removed before collection?
Usually yes, old window frames should have the glass removed before collection. This helps keep the material suitable for recycling and makes loading safer and more efficient.
For larger trade jobs, commercial projects or ongoing contract work, speak to us first. Depending on the material, location and quantity, we may be able to advise on the best way to prepare the frames before collection.
