About Us

  Vasilios, director of Transporta 1 Ltd, has been involved in the TV and Film industry for many years. The constant piles of bags of waste left at every location concerned him - there must be a better way. After assessing many options he concluded that a partnership with Biffa Waste was the way forward and Totally Wasted was born.


From this small acorn of an idea the mighty oak of Totally Wasted has grown. We offer you a unique service: the recycling centre is delivered to your location!!

No longer is the waste simply bagged up and left on the street to be collected. Through our green recycling scheme all waste can be allocated to the relevant wheelie bins (throughout the shoot and on wrap) and taken, by us, to a local waste recycling depot. Not only can you add a more efficient waste management system to your production but also :

  • Reduce your carbon footprint
  • Recycle
  • Help towards your Albert Plus sustainable certification

How does it work? Simply phone/text 07958 601054 or email info@totallywasted.co.uk, to arrange delivery and collection of the wheelie bins and leave the rest to us!!

Our Services


We are licenced by the Environment Agency for the carriage of waste, we provide waste transfer documentation, and work with our partner Biffa to ensure your waste is processed sustainably. We provide a range of services to the TV and Film industry to allow your waste to be processed in an, easy, convenient, carbon footprint reducing sustainable manner. For example, Biffa’s Anaerobic Plant generated 47,640 mwh in FY22.


We provide the delivery and collection of various types of wheelie bins to and from your location, at a time suitable for you. The wheelie bins are, convenient, easily moved around your location, of various types to allow efficient recycling. We use small fuel-efficient vehicles to reduce fuel miles. Your waste is then taken to be processed at Biffa’s waste processing facilities


Food wheelie bins are provided for the collection of on location food waste. The food waste is transported to a state-of-the-art Anaerobic Digestor where the food is processed to provide energy. For every tonne of food processed at the AD plant 500kwh of energy is produced, with a bi product which can be used as a soil improver. By sending food waste to an Anaerobic Digester instead of landfill, you save 619kg of CO2 per tonne.



Composting Wheelie bins are provided for Plant based crockery such as Vegware, this can now be processed within a composting facility. This allows the vast amounts of crockery used on location to be turned into a soil improver, via composting, and so completing the circle of sustainability!


General waste wheelie bins, these bins are to accommodate the material that cannot be dry recycled, but this waste has a further part to play in Biffa sustainability program. This waste now becomes a part of the waste to fuel cycle where it is used to fuel electricity generation.


The Dry Recycling wheelie bins, these bins are to accommodate materials that can be recycled at Biffa’s state-of the-Art Edmonton recycling facility, so reducing the fuel miles needed to transport your waste. The bins are clearly labelled to aid waste management, and help towards the circular economy, (please see the video below to explain how Biffa accomplishes this).

Quick, efficient, clean, reliable, early morning late evening collections, no problem, recommend.
