Sortera acquire Reston Waste

Latest acquisition sees Swedish-owned company become ‘largest construction waste operator’ in London

JUST weeks after their UK launch, Sortera – one of the leading recycling companies in Northern Europe – have strengthened their market position in the Greater London construction waste market with the acquisition of Reston Waste Management. 

Following the recent integration and rebranding of previously acquired companies O’Donovan Waste Disposal and GBN Services to Sortera, the addition of Reston Waste will see the Swedish company become the largest independent construction waste operator in London. 

The acquisition is strategically important as it extends Sortera’s footprint into south west London, allowing customers to benefit from an expanded service area, enhanced efficiencies, and improved response times, serving projects from residential to large commercial developments.

‘We are delighted to welcome the Reston team to our growing Sortera family here in London,’ said Mark McCleery, managing director of Sortera UK. ‘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 company with a focus on service, quality, and sustainability.’ 

Andrew Reston, managing director and owner of Reston Waste, added: ‘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 will continue their impressive 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.
