About Lancashire Waste Services

20 Years Keeping the UK's Waste Fleet on the Road

Specialist waste vehicle, HGV and plant machinery maintenance, repair and fabrication — keeping fleets working since 2006.

20 Years of Hands-On Expertise

Lancashire Waste Services was founded in 2006 by Paul, who started out as a mobile mechanic servicing waste vehicles across the North West. Working from a single bay on his family's farm in Chorley, Paul saw the opportunity to offer something the bigger companies couldn't — fast, personal, competitively priced service from people who genuinely know these vehicles inside out.

What began as a one-man mobile operation has grown into an established business with a team of eight skilled technicians and a six-bay IRTE accredited workshop. Over 20 years, we've expanded from waste vehicles into HGVs, LCVs and plant machinery — but our approach has stayed the same: get the job done properly, quickly and at a fair price.
