companyphilosophyContentsWelcome
In the early 1980’s, David Carrie began building his
own business, born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire he
worked in the scrap metal market. He soon became
a dedicated expert within the recycling trade. By the
mid 80’s David and his family established Selby
Metals, a site just short of 1 acre. It soon became
an acclaimed business in the Yorkshire area.
In 1987, David purchased a new facility in Sherburn
In Elmet, a well known site owned and operated by
Charlie Mytum. The facility had been developed
since 1902 and was run and operated as a Waste
and Scrap Yard since 1948. A sale was agreed and
Mytum & Selby was born. Predominantly operated
as a Metal Recycling Facility. The site under went
many changes. Offices replaced the railway shed, a
weighbridge was installed and the first layer of
concrete was laid. Up to 1992 the facility had been
regenerated and upgraded to form a 6 acre Metal
Facility.
New legislation with the handling of waste came
into force in 1992 by the Environment Agency.
The facility was designed and a license built to offer
Waste Recycling and Waste Reduction. By 1998
the facility was handling 50’000 tons, with a license
that covered: hazardous, municipal, household,
commercial and industrial waste, the site now
covered 10 acres.
Mytum & Selby have invested and evolved along
with new legislation and Environmental Regulating.
Still offering traditional business and quality service.
The progress from 1987 has formed what stands
today. A facility that is licensed to deal with 125’000
tons of waste, offering environmental services,
operating a fully functional MRF that offers high
recycling rates and now deals with some of today
major industrial giants. Still owned and operated
entirely by the Carrie family and built without debt.
The facility is now at the forefront of todays recycling
sector.

Company philosophy
Mytum & Selby’s main core values are recycling and
reuse and looking at waste as possible
replacements for raw material. Using both materials
which can be recycled and the end residues to
generate fuels, heat, power etc.
Zero landfill is key to a carbon reduced future, not
just by saving landfill emissions but by reducing the
dependency on fossil fuels. A balance needs to be
made when using waste to generate power. Direct
incineration could lead to the loss of valuable waste
materials without the pre-processing of waste.
An ongoing commitment to recycling and the
search for alternative transport infrastructure has
enabled the company to grow dramatically over the
years, whilst also offering competitive prices. Many
customers turn to Mytum & Selby for advice and
opinions within the industry, this has been earned
over the years, along with good working
relationships and long-term contracts.

companyphilosophyScrap
During the early 1980’s the Carrie family started
business within the metals industry, one of the first
forms of recycling.
Selby Metals worked to the best advantage with the
metals collected, using techniques such as heat
cutting, large guillotines, bailers, grapples and
magnets, the metals were re-sized or broken down
into their individual components and prepared for
re-sale.
Mytum & Selby have maintained a healthy presence
in the metal industry and have invested into various
technologies to deal with bulk metal buying and
processing. Large amounts of metals are still
sourced and dealt with at the Sherburn facility being
traded with some of the largest metal refinery’s in
the world.
The traditional buying and trading of metals is still a
very live aspect of the site.
Waste
Mytum & Selby have always admired waste as a
potential resource, even back in the early days the
key part of the business was reuse and recycle.
The idea of bringing a mixed waste product onto
site via a container and finding some form of use for
the items within the waste stream was adopted
fairly quickly. Initially this was done by using
products for construction on-site and reducing the
landfill residue. The site soon began to develop new
ways of re-using and recycling products.
The facility has run on wood fuels for many years,
adapted to convert waste oils brought onto site into
a heating fuel. The idea of energy from waste had
not been fully thought of at this point.
Mytum & Selby are the original waste recyclers,
developing their business, licenses and site to make
best use of waste rather than just transport it to a
hole in the ground. In the past; this was never
thought of as a way forward, “waste” was a dirty
word! But today its opened up to become a
business, resource and way of life for much of the
world. Mytum & Selby’s foresight was not too far off
the aim.
The main depot is equipped with a full MRF facility,
industrial shredding, compaction and bailing, lifting
and loading, segregation and separation. All of
which plays a major part in dealing with the wastes
arising and making sure that minimal waste is sent
to landfill.

Waste is to be looked on as a commodity, burning and destroying waste is worse than
sending it landfill, as it destroys the recourses of the future. David Carrie, Director.“
“
companyphilosophyRecycling
As the Carrie family took the natural progression
into waste management, waste was not thought of
as a big concern in the 1980’s. Other companies
were seen to run a waste transport business and
dispose directly to landfill. Mytum & Selby had a
different view, owning one of the first licensed
transfer stations gave them enough space and
capability to reuse and reduce waste materials.
From the very early days it was clear that re-use and
waste to landfill reduction was not only a good
business but foresight would see the world change
its views on recycling. The Carrie family had already
embraced environmental issues and adopted a re-
use and recycle culture within its business over 20
years ago.
Today is testament to this as the company have
invested heavily into recycling techniques and
infrastructure. All waste types brought into the site
have some form of treatment or pre-treatment to
reduce and recycle and form minimal waste to
landfill.
9 10
The simplest techniques often produce the greatest results, seeing waste as a form of
future resource and giving value to the material collected, has built a solid and stable
platform from which to move forward. Steven Carrie, Managing Director.“

companyphilosophySite servicesHazardous waste
Mytum & Selby have always dealt with hazardous or
difficult waste streams.
Collecting mixed household and industrial material
are a daily occurrence on-site.
Environmental protection and pollution controls
placed new permitting and licensing regulations.
The Environment Agency was adapted to help
businesses and waste collectors handle and
dispose of hazardous waste more effectively.
Infrastructure and handling criteria were put in place
as pollution prevention methods, this entailed
concrete, drainage, segregation, monitoring and
general site inspection. Again, although this only
formed a small part of the business and the
hazardous materials dealt with on-site would be
dealt with from a mixed waste load. The Carrie
family saw this as a potential area of business and
one that would benefit their future. Over the first
years of the Environment Agency taking over the
licensing duties of local councils, Mytum & Selby
worked closely with the new authority adopting
recommended techniques, systems and upgrading
infrastructure.
Today the company have a small but dedicated
Hazardous and Difficult waste sector, this is used
firstly as a part of their full one stop shop service to
their customers and then for clients such as
councils and other large waste companies, anything
from fly tipped material to large consignments of
material. Trained and dedicated personnel offer full
on-site support, maintaining legal responsibilities of
the company and clients while offering expert advise
and employing best practice.
Mytum & Selby have predominantly based their
business around the industrial sector. When the
Carrie family dealt solely with metals they did so by
offering a full one stop service.
Full demolition and scrap metal removal took place
by various methods including hot work, plasma and
heavy machine cutting. A hard working team dealt
with large and bulky loads and heavy lifting work.
A similar approach was taken in the waste
business. Clients required a company to take care
of their entire waste needs and remove the
headache from the ever changing Environmental
Legislation. Mytum & Selby embraced the new
licensing laws and invested in infrastructure, they
could provide a service all under one roof.
New challenges presented themselves, customers
needs became independent, leading Mytum &
Selby to provide a bespoke service, a complete
environmental and recycling system on our
customers site’s as well as Mytum & Selby’s.
Some of the services provided are litter picking,
small clearances, complete demolition or build and
installation of waste infrastructure, site compliancy
to staff training, a skip or disposal of thousands of
tons of waste, street cleaning to oil spills or an entire
waste and environmental service, Mytum & Selby
have it covered both on and off site without the
need for any contractors.

companyphilosophyConsultancy & TrainingContainers
Mytum & Selby offer interactive training sessions
based around your site, your employees and your
waste, involving staff and engaging them in practical
exercises equipping them with skills they can apply
in the daily workplace.
The biggest challenge facing companies when
moving towards more sustainable business practices
is communicating these changes to employees and
helping them to embrace the key components of
new or existing environmental improvements.
Equipping your employees with the awareness they
need to make good environmental decisions and
take into consideration the consequences of bad
practice is essential when trying to move towards or
maintain sustainable waste management on site.
Mytum & Selby can also provide waste audits,
looking at each of your waste streams and how they
are currently contained and managed right through
to their final destination. Aiming to identify areas
where cost savings and/or environmental
improvements could be made and ensure your
company is up to speed and in-compliance with all
current UK legislation.
A site inspection can be conducted to pick up on
any non-conformances and then maintain your site’s
compliance with relative legislation, working
alongside the principals of an Environment Agency
site inspection report. This type of report can be
used for environmental reporting purposes and/or
when working towards and/or maintaining ISO
standards such as ISO14001.
Mytum & Selby work with their customers needs in
mind and can provide bespoke requirements.
For over 18 years Mytum & Selby have designed
and manufactured their own waste containers,
machinery and one off storage solutions. Simple
8yd to 40yd skips are made from either food grade
chrome steel or hard wearing steel depending on
customer needs, these are sprayed on-site and
have regular maintenance checks. They are
constantly cleaned and repainted, ensuring you
have a usable safe container that does not look
unsightly.
Having the capability to build our own containers
also add flexibility for our customers, some may
require an individual container to fit into an awkward
place or do a specific job, this in-house system
allows Mytum & Selby to respond rapidly and offer a
total storage and collection service.
Containers include, recycling banks, battery
containers, hazardous cabs, decanting systems,
liquid storage, site lockups, chemcabs, 8-40yd
open and enclosed wheeled bins from 100ltr to
1100ltr, tipping skips etc.

The vast majority of prosecutions that the agency takes against environmental offenders are as a result of avoidable pollution
incidents or lack of staff awareness. Business should have in place effective environmental management systems and
ensure their staff are properly trained. The Environment Agency, Spotlight on Business Report.“

Mytum & Selby Waste Recycling turned towards YHE to assist with
designing and manufacturingmachinery for one of their sites
(The Maltings). With the oldinfrastructure already in place, YHE are working to adapt and
re-construct with new bespoke parts.
Unit, work in progress The Maltings, South Milford
companyphilosophyThe Environmental Technologies Centre of Industrial
Collaborations (ETCIC) is a part of the University of
Hull and was established in 2004 with the help of
Yorkshire Forward funding. ETCIC leads, facilitates
and participates in collaborations between industry,
academia and public bodies to deliver real,
sustainable and quantifiable added value.
ETCIC’s Centre Director and inaugural Yorkshire
Post Green Champion, Professor Lynne Frostick first
met with Mytum and Selby at a conference in the
summer of 2005. Subsequent to this funding for a
Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme was
achieved and allowed Mytum and Selby to
determine the technical feasibility of an in-vessel
composting system on the Maltings site.
Subsequent work has involved ETCIC microbiology
expert, Dr. John Adams in assessing the potential
impact of bioaerosols from the plant on the local
vicinity and more recently in determining the
regulatory issues in processing Animal By Products
and achieving the ABPR approval for the Maltings
site. ETCIC has also supported Mytum and Selby in
planning discussions with the local authorities and in
technology assessment of other waste processing
options. Most recently this involved an assessment
of the feasibility of the waste to ethanol project.
Dr. David Calvert, Commercial manager of ETCIC,
stated “The processing of waste is increasing in
importance and innovative companies such as
Mytum and Selby have a key role to play in
establishing new sustainable processes for our
waste. We look forward to working with them on all
four of their sites in the future and also in
establishing a centre of excellence for waste
processing on their site”

companyphilosophyMaltings siteFuture progress
Mytum & Selby have evolved within the waste
recycling industry for over 20 years and in this time
they have seen many changes.
The need for new technologies and the requirement
for land to develop and expand within the ever
changing and ever growing waste management
network. Most people turned their attention to
technologies, Mytum and Selby turned to looking
for the land to enable them to expand their business
further.
Technologies will change and new ones will take
place in the bid to turn waste into a product, energy
or fuel. As technologies advance others will become
more obsolete and some will struggle to compete,
but the one thing they will all require is land and
feedstock.
Mytum & Selby have acquired land and gained
planning permissions on sites large enough to
operate their MRF’s and Transfer Stations, ensuring
feed stocks of waste and an operational business,
whilst also holding back 50% of the land to attract
technology partners. Ensuring that the operations
are all on one facility and can be managed and
adapted to suit the area and waste types. Whilst
one facility has adopted organic and bio-degradable
processing an other will adopt EFW and
gasification.
The search for land for this kind of expansion also
opened up the need for alternative transports
systems and although all the facilties have been
sourced with the major motorway network of
Yorkshire easily accessed all the facilities have
alternatives such as rail, docks and river.
The Maltings site was acquired in 2004 with the
views of Organic and Food waste processing in
mind. The former John Smiths site which has stood
for over 130 years was chosen due to the former
application, location, rail infrastructure and the
remaining buildings and machinery.
A Certificate of Lawful Use was granted in 2008
which covers the use of the site and buildings to
treat all organic and bio-degradable liquids and
solids within the confines of the standing
infrastructure. The Certificate has no further
restrictions of either tonnages or vehicles and at 11
acre the site is large enough to deal with a large
quantity of material. It has the capability to be the
largest licensed Organic Treatment facility in the UK.
The first system to be utilised on-site is in-vessel
aerobic composting, this will see some of the many
internal vessels used to treat CAT3 ABP waste and
produce a PAS100 compost product. 3 stages will
see 25’000 tons per annum reaching 75’000 tons
per annum within the first 18 months.
Anaerobic digestion is also being researched and a
technology capable of converting 400’000 tons of
food waste into ethanol is now being planned.
De-packaging system plans are being drawn up to
go on the front end to deal with mixed and
packaged material, this should see all food
materials being handled from start to finish with
complete zero landfill.
Recycling Efficiency Yorkshire and ETCIC of Hull
University are heavily involved with this project, a
Centre of Excellence and training school will be
operated on-site with support from both parties.

One of the missing links in the waste industry has always been land, the best technology in the world
is useless without somewhere to put it and something to feed it. Steven Carrie, Managing Director. “

companyphilosophyHull siteGoole site
The facility in Goole is a former landfill and was used
during the 80’s for depositing the inert material
when building the key side and docks area by ABP.
The site measuring 5.9 hectares was granted
planning permission in 2007 by East Ridings
Council for a MRF, transfer station and hazardous
waste facility, this will begin construction shortly.
The facility will have at least 50% for future build and
technologies and provides a major recycling hub for
the area.
The adjacent docking area and container port will
provide a greater transport network and allow
access to direct import and export markets of both
product and waste materials.
The former landfill is set to be recycled and the
majority of the material used in the construction of
the MRF. This will be a first for the UK and a positive
alternative to landfilled material. The nearby
industrial area is expanding with some of the major
industrial names now setting up to join the well
established industrial and commercial area of
Goole. A site such as this is to provide a much
needed facility for the business area and even local
councils.
Further technologies will be added to site and could
include EFW or even manufacture from recycled
products. Plastic washing and extruding is being
looked into.
Image of planned overview.
Formerly known has ‘Recketts’ or ‘Holliday
Pigments’. The Hull site is our recent addition and
one that has great value for today and tomorrows
waste requirements. The site was used to make
ultra marine pigment and has a history of dealing
with vast amounts of chemicals and running under
IPPC. The site had 3 acres of kilns which ran at
temperatures over 1000 degree’s celsius and has
the largest chimney structure in the area with a
stack reaching 141m high. In the past 20 years the
site was adapted to reduce its stack emissions and
an £11million FGD plant was built on-site to
accompany the 141m stack, this was opened by
John Prescott.
The 11 acre facility is to be constructed to allow for
MRF and Waste Transfer operations to take place
and attract potential EFW partners that can use
thermal treatment/gasification in conjunction with
existing stack and former use, having the capacity
to handle large volumes of waste and achieve zero
landfill for large industrial concerns and local
councils or waste partners.
The site also benefits to having direct access to the
River Hull for potential Wharfage, this is hoped to be
established shortly. The large offices, on-site labs
and extensive conference rooms will form a large
main base and full Centre of E xcellence and training
establishment.
