The 372sqm site is already operational after being given the go-ahead by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

The move is a part of a push by the Dorset-headquarted business to recycle locally and cut carbon emissions from haulage to waste treatment and recycling facilities in the process.

According to John Haines, general manager of J&G, the company's aim is to link with Scottish companies that can recycle the materials it collects and divert as much of it as possible from landfill.

He added: "For instance, inks, founts and solvents are treated and re-used as low grade fuel, plastic drums are shredded and used in the manufacture of drainage pipes, aluminium plates have a second life in a range of motor and construction industry components, and wooden pallets are shredded and used in chipboard manufacture."

J&G Environmental recycles more than 90% of the waste it collects from UK printers and newspaper publishers. It was acquired by the Cleansing Service Group (CSG) in 2008.
