 Who are we?South Molton Recycle Limited (SMR) is a non-profit distributing community recycling business with over twenty years experience in developing recycling services that have proved sustainable and innovative. Steve Portsmouth, founder of SMR Ltd, influenced local and national policy on Recycling and this tradition is continuing under the stewardship of Sarah Portsmouth, Managing Director, who is equally committed to reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and ethically recycling as much as is practical given the boundaries. For over 16 years SMR has held contracts with local district and county councils and was instrumental in Devon achieving the Friends of the Earth County recycling award in 1991. SMR was inundated with visits from organisations from all over the country – community groups, councils, radio, television, newspapers – the model used by SMR was adopted and modified to suit other areas. A direct result was the increase of kerbside recycling nationally. SMR now has over 80 staff and 34 vehicles, collecting recycling from over 70,000 households in North Devon and Torridge every week and recycling from businesses throughout North Devon and Torridge, operating the Civic Amenity Recycling Centre and the repair and re-use shop in South Molton. Our aims & beliefs Our aim is to protect the environment by reducing pollution and saving resources by cutting down the amount of waste going to landfill. We provide employment for local people, support educational visits on recycling, give employment and work experience to disadvantaged members of the community and supervise workers on community service. Our belief in re-use, repair and recycle, is demonstrated by our
shop in South Molton, which sells everything from buttons to antiques.
We accept public donations of all resalable items and aim to provide
a vast range of reasonably priced household, electrical, garden and
leisure items, white goods, furniture, tools, books, clothes and
bric-a-brac for the local community.
