What To Do With an Old Conservatory
At Reframe Recycling, we provide a specialist conservatory frame recycling and collection service across the North West, North Wales and the East Midlands, Somerset and Dorset.
When an old conservatory is removed during home renovations or window upgrades, it often produces a large amount of uPVC conservatory frames, doors and structural plastic sections. Many homeowners and installers are unsure what to do with this conservatory removal waste, and it often ends up going to landfill.
Our service offers a more sustainable solution. We collect old conservatory frames and uPVC window sections and ensure they are processed through specialist recycling facilities.
This helps reduce landfill waste while allowing valuable plastic materials to be reused in new products.
What happens to old Conservatory Frames?
Most conservatories built over the last few decades were constructed using uPVC frames and door systems, similar to standard double-glazed windows.
When these structures are removed, the frames can be separated from the glass and roofing materials and sent for uPVC recycling.
Through our conservatory frame collection service, the plastic frames are transported to recycling centres where they are processed and reused in the manufacture of new plastic products.
Recycling old conservatories helps reduce construction waste and supports the growing demand for recycled uPVC materials.
How Our Conservatory Collection Service Works
Our collection service focuses specifically on recyclable uPVC conservatory frame material.
We regularly collect:
uPVC conservatory frames
uPVC doors and door frames
window frames removed from conservatories
plastic trims and structural profiles
mixed uPVC window frame waste
Mixed metal waste, door handles, hinges and metal bars.
These materials commonly arise during conservatory removals, house renovations and window replacement projects.
Materials We Do Not Collect
To keep our loads suitable for recycling, we do not collect:
- polycarbonate conservatory roofing sheets
- glass panels or sealed double glazing units
- timber conservatory structures
- general building waste
- guttering
Removing these materials before collection helps ensure the remaining frames can be processed efficiently.
If you have removed uPVC window frames, doors or plastic installation waste ready for collection, contact Reframe Recycling with your location and estimated volume and we’ll confirm the next available collection slot.
Conservatory Frame Collection for Installers and Builders
Our conservatory disposal and recycling service works best when larger quantities of frames are available.
Typical jobs we collect from include:
– Full conservatory removals
– Large window replacement projects
– Renovation work removing multiple frames
– Conservatory upgrades or rebuilds
Because Conservatories often contain multiple window sections and doors, they are ideal for bulk uPVC frame recycling collections.
