WASTE MANAGEMENT
KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY

Waste managers chart their story over
eight decades treatment processes developed by its
research and development team.
One of the UK’s oldest waste management
companies has gone into the history books –
by publishing its own. Its policy of frequent company acquisition
has seen CSG extend its activities into waste
oil reclamation, marine waste, chemical
treatment and print waste recycling,
acquiring print recycling market leader
J & G Environmental in 2008.
The lavishly-illustrated hardback book
charts the rise and rise of Fareham-based
CSG, which began life as a one-man cesspit
emptying service in and around the rural
Hampshire village of Botley 83 years ago.
CSG is now one of the country’s largest
independent waste management businesses
with a £65 million turnover last year. It is still
managed by the daughters of the company
founder, the late Bunny Hart, who set it up
in 1934 after purchasing an old 800 gallon,
solid-tyred tanker for £5.
The multi-award winning company, which
operates from 26 sites across the country, is
now market leader in the off-mains sewage
maintenance sector with some 30,000
domestic and commercial customers.
It operates the largest specialist waste tanker
fleet in the UK and manages the country’s
largest hazardous industrial waste treatment
and recovery facility at Cadishead near
Manchester where it has pioneered advanced
CSG launched its history book – The Hart of
Waste – at a reception attended by members
of staff and the local business community in
Hampshire.
The £5 tanker that launched CSG
Board chairman Heather Hart said she was
proud that CSG was still a family business
which retained its pioneering spirit by taking
the company into “exciting niche markets.”
Managing director Neil Richards praised
the “family culture” of the business and the
owners’ personal support for the entire staff.
“Like myself, they recognise that a motivated
workforce is essential to success in a
competitive business environment like the
waste industry.”
He said that family-owned businesses played
a huge role in the UK economy, with nearly
five million of them contributing around 20
per cent of government revenues.
