Agecko was established back in 2011 by Jon Earnshaw, who remains director alongside Sam McHugh and Natan Elfassy. Our head office is based in Easingwold, a quaint market town near York. We work alongside an established network of partners in providing total sustainable waste management, nationwide.
Jon’s previous business as a waste equipment supplier was the motivation behind Agecko. He recognised that many of his customers needed advice regarding waste after the implementation of his equipment. He knew Agecko could provide the expertise and knowledge to educate, innovate and support, rather than just provide skips and bins like many national waste firms.
Over the years, Agecko have continued to implement sustainable total waste management solutions, nationally. We are proud to remain an industry leader renowned for finding greener solutions, for all standard and problematic waste streams. We have found outlets for problem composites, wax paper, dirty rigid and soft plastics & bulk food waste (to name but a few) which make up a sizeable percentage of our ‘zero waste to landfill’ targets. Our case study page shows examples of these amazing results.
Agecko’s growing portfolio varies across a range of industry sectors, examples being food and beverage, retail, automotive and chemical. From the initial waste audit, a plan will be proposed to develop sustainability targets, maximise recycling percentages and reach zero to landfill goals. Our enthusiastic customer service team will become your personalised waste service department. We even provide tailored Environmental Reports from all the waste collected from your premises monthly.

Charlotte Chambers joined the Agecko family back in 2017 and has since created Gloria to help educate people on waste & recycling. You will find Gloria on various signs and educational posters around site at colleges, schools and housing associations. Agecko have some extremely exciting plans for Gloria so watch this space…
Promoting a circular economy and achieving sustainability targets is at the heart of everything Agecko does. Our goal, as a company, is to become partners with our clients and suppliers. We believe that this approach to waste management ensures that the best possible solution is implemented to minimise waste and maximise recycling percentages. Agecko focus on problematic waste streams that are deemed unrecyclable and find solutions to re-use or recycle this waste. We support the circular economy with the believe that; “one person’s waste is another person’s gain”.Our purpose is to source manufacturing partners who require material to design/create their product. An example of circularity would be the solution we have successfully implemented for silicone wax paper (release paper, label backing paper or wax coated paper). Historically, our clients have discarded their silicone wax paper in their general waste containers. Thus, resulting in frequent vehicle movements due to the poor volume to weight ratio. We partnered up with a manufacturer in the UK who uses this material to manufacture their product for redistribution.
Agecko is made up of hardworking, experienced individuals dedicated to providing each client with the best possible solution for each waste stream. With all this hard work, it is no surprise that we all make time to relax and enjoy ourselves. Sara Millar is the assigned ‘Entertainment Director’ for Agecko, we have been to York Races, trips abroad, nights out in Newcastle and I believe there is talk of our next adventures being axe throwing or escape rooms… this quality time together has created an Agecko family, and I think the outtake pictures on this page show this in true style.
