About Smiths Gloucester
Smiths is a family-owned waste management and construction business based in Gloucester, established in 1982 by Alan Smith. The company has grown to become one of the largest in the South West and Wales, with over 40 years of operations and more than 500 staff across England and Wales.
Smiths provides waste management and skip hire services ranging from household skips to commercial waste collection. The business also operates construction and demolition services, including site preparation, groundwork packages, earthworks and structural removals.

Additional services include asbestos removal, drainage, accredited training, MOT testing, vehicle recycling and minor groundworks.
The company operates multiple depots across the South West and Wales, including waste management facilities at Moreton Valence and Tewkesbury, and a waste transfer station in Cardiff. The business holds a licence to undertake asbestos removal work and operates a managed recycling facility at Moreton Valence. Smiths works for households, commercial businesses, construction firms and event organisers. The company has completed major projects including demolition at Gloucester Rugby Club and remediation work at Gloucester Quays. Members of the Smith family continue to run the business.
