We started from humble beginnings and now operate facilities that lead the way in the waste management industry. Home About Heritage It’s Been Quite a Journey Bywaters started life long before being incorporated as a limited company in 1952. It all started at the end of the First World War with one man operating from a horse and cart in North London. Over time the business developed from this small-scale operation, eventually becoming one of London’s most well-established waste management companies, with a long-standing commitment to sustainability. Today, Bywaters is still family-owned, serving thousands of businesses across the UK.
