Why Choose Vantage

Recycling Meters the Right Way

Meters contain a mix of materials, including plastics, metals, circuit boards, batteries and electronic components that need to be handled responsibly at the end of their life, including transportation under ADR regulations.

Our meter recycling service covers a wide range of equipment, including smart meters, gas meters, electricity meters and associated monitoring devices. We work with utility providers, contractors, manufacturers and businesses looking for a reliable way to manage end-of-life equipment. Whether you're dealing with a one-off clearance or ongoing volumes, we'll help find the right route for your waste.

How It Works

Once we understand the type and volume of meters involved, we'll arrange collection and transport through approved waste management channels. Equipment is then processed through authorised treatment facilities, where batteries are removed and recyclable materials are recovered wherever possible.

Throughout the process, we maintain full traceability and provide the documentation needed to support your waste management records. We can also scan all of the meters and provide digital records, so you can see that your assets have been disposed of correctly.

No confusion. No unnecessary delays. Just a straightforward service that gets the job done.

Compliance, Sorted

Many modern meters fall under WEEE regulations due to their electronic components and communication technology. Our team manages the collection, transportation and recycling process in line with current regulatory requirements, helping businesses maintain compliance while ensuring waste is handled responsibly. We'll take care of the paperwork so you don't have to.
