uPVC Window Recycling Across Greater Manchester
Reframe Recycling provides specialist collection of old uPVC and PVC window frames throughout Greater Manchester as part of our established North West collection network.
We collect from window installers, builders, contractors, trade premises, housing projects and suitable full-house window replacements across Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, Stockport and the wider city region.
Our collection service helps businesses and householders recycle old frames without filling mixed-waste skips or transporting bulky window waste themselves.
Established uPVC Recycling Routes Across Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester is at the centre of our North West operation and is our longest-established collection area.
Our family has worked in the scrap window trade for more than 45 years, collecting old frames from window companies, building sites and replacement projects across Manchester and the surrounding towns. That experience has shaped a service built around fast collections, straightforward communication and drivers who understand how the window trade operates.
Our vehicles operate throughout the city region using the M60 and connecting routes towards Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport, Trafford, Salford and Wigan. This allows us to combine collections efficiently across neighbouring boroughs and provide regular routes for customers producing ongoing quantities of uPVC waste. Greater Manchester’s road network is managed as an interconnected key route network serving residents, businesses and freight across the region.
We support everything from independent window fitters completing domestic replacements to larger contractors working on housing, construction and commercial refurbishment projects.

- Construction and demolition contractors
- Trade yards and storage premises
- Window manufacturers and fabricators

What We Collect
We collect suitable quantities of:
- Deglazed uPVC and PVC window frames
- uPVC doors and door frames
- Conservatory window and door frames
- Plastic trims and cills
- Clean uPVC manufacturing offcuts
- Separated aluminium frames
Window frames should normally have the glass removed before collection.
Deglazing may be available by prior arrangement for suitable larger commercial, housing or refurbishment projects.
Free uPVC Collection in Greater Manchester
Free collection is available across Greater Manchester for qualifying quantities of recyclable uPVC and PVC window frames.
For household collections, this will normally mean approximately ten or more deglazed frames, broadly equivalent to a full-house window replacement.
We also collect suitable trade loads, conservatory replacements and larger commercial quantities. Smaller loads may be collected when they can be combined with an existing nearby route.
Send us photographs of the material, the collection postcode and an approximate quantity. We will confirm whether the load qualifies and advise when we can attend.
