About J Dickinson & Sons
Founded in 1939 by John Dickinson, J Dickinson & Sons began as a humble family business offering haulage services around Bolton – with nothing but a horse and cart.
Now, four generations later, with over 70 employees, we operate by the same values and ethics from our 17-acre state-of-the-art recycling village at Rivington View Business Park, Horwich.
Having advanced from horse and cart to skips and bins, we have grown from strength to strength; acquiring what is now a large fleet of vehicles, equipment and units at our disposal. This has allowed us to offer a wide range of services including skips, direct tipping, aggregates, transport services and commercial bin collection service.
As an outward-facing company steeped in heritage, we have the ability to assist businesses and individuals with the disposal of waste and materials appropriately through our collection service and recycling facilities.
At J Dickinson & Sons, we continue to invest in our dedicated staff, accreditations and the latest technology to ensure that we can continue to provide the best possible experience and support for all our customers.
