Overstock Recovery

Move on unsold stock responsibly, securely and sustainably.

Surplus stock doesn't have to mean wasted opportunity.

Whether it’s end-of-line items, overproduction, cancelled orders or unsold seasonal products, excess inventory can take up space, drain cash flow and create brand risk. At Roberts Recycling, we help you responsibly recover value from unsold goods — prioritising reuse where possible and securely destroying what can’t be reintroduced to the market.

Trusted by fashion brands, fulfilment centres and retail buyers managing large-scale overstocks.

Clear, compliant and circular overstock solutions.

Triage & Sorting

We evaluate items for resale, donation or destruction based on condition, branding, and your preferences. All decisions are traceable.

Reuse Where Possible

Stock that’s clean, unbranded and wearable is redirected to responsible resale or donation networks through our trusted partners.

Secure Destruction for Sensitive Goods

For items that pose brand or IP risks, we offer in-house shredding with 24/7 CCTV monitoring and full certification.

Warehouse Collection & Delivery Coordination

We can collect directly from your distribution centre or support deliveries to our secure facilities.

Full Reporting & Certification

Tonnage, reuse rates and destruction outcomes are included in each job, with carbon savings calculations available on request.
