Home › Services › Recycling Recycling made easy Simply put your waste paper, card, plastics and metal cans into one single bin Bespoke collection service Our collection is designed to suit the volumes of waste that you produce Boost your recycling rates Improve your recycling performance by reducing the amount of general waste you produce We believe that to have the most success, recycling should be made as easy as possible, and that’s what we’ve achieved with our mixed recycling service. All it takes is one mixed recycling bin or container to get you started and your employees can deposit all their waste paper, card, plastic and metal cans, ready for us to take away and manage the recycling process. Disposing of all recyclable items in one container is known as co-mingling, and it’s very simple. No-one has to worry about finding the extra space for separate containers because it all goes in together. There are many benefits to implementing a mixed recycling service. From an environmental perspective, sending your waste for reuse, recycling or recovery – as opposed to sending it to landfill – delivers both a greener and more cost-effective approach. We see waste as a valuable resource and our state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) specialise in separating out all the recyclables into different waste streams, baling them and then sending them off for reprocessing into new products. This is all part of our commitment to the waste hierarchy. Introducing mixed recycling is also more cost-effective because it reduces the quantity of waste going into your general waste bin where, if it is sent to landfill, it could become liable for Landfill Tax charges. It is surprising how many organisations still deposit all their waste into one container without any thought as to segregation. They could easily reduce their spending and earn rebates by thinking more about recycling. Importantly, choosing mixed recycling will boost your recycling performance and your green credentials – many of our customers have won awards for environmental good management because of our proactive waste management partnership with them. And when we collect your containers, you can also benefit from knowing that our entire fleet of waste collection vehicles is certified CarbonNeutral®, meaning we won’t be adding to your carbon footprint because every journey is carbon free. We also offer great flexibility of service and collections. Our teams go to great lengths to arrange collections around the volumes of waste your organisation produces and the frequencies that suit you. For example, by arranging daily, weekly or fortnightly collections we can reduce unnecessary collections and excess vehicle movements on site, and we can also increase or decrease collections as required, for example, to meet seasonal times of the year. This is particularly important for sectors such as the retail and hospitality industries, with major promotions such as Black Friday and Christmas/New Year sales, as well as the peak of festive entertaining. We also know that when it comes to engaging employees and others such as site visitors or tenants in recycling, it can sometimes be difficult to get the message across. That’s why we don’t just stop at providing bins and containers. One of the biggest challenges will always be contamination. Putting the ‘wrong’ items, such as a greasy takeaway food container, into a recycling bin can cause the whole container to be rejected and sent to general waste instead. That’s why we regularly hold events such as Employee Waste Awareness days and Tenant Waste Engagement Days to encourage the promotion of best recycling practice. These include talks, interactive games and plenty of literature to help spread the word and we also provide training to employees to spot potential contamination hot spots. In some cases, it might be as simple as moving a recycling bin from one location to another to reduce the risk of non-recyclable items being thrown into it. We find you the right size bins and containers to suit your individual premises, provide bespoke signage and posters, and we can advise on setting up in-house Green Teams and appointing Waste Champions to fly the flag for recycling. We also work closely with other parties, such as cleaning partners or facilities management providers to help ensure recycling excellence. For example, we have trained cleaning teams to identify potential sources of contamination during their regular bin collections and this means that where possible, they can remove the unwanted items before the mixed recycling is collected. Excellence in waste management practice is what we do best and that’s why we also guarantee you that your collections will be 100% compliant with all waste and environmental regulations. And because statistics are often key to investment in waste management, our account managers will work closely with your in-house teams to demonstrate all the benefits that have been achieved. These can range from the tonnage of each specific waste stream recycled (glass, cans, plastic, card paper), the rebates gained from sending those materials for recycling, and the equivalent number of trees saved by recycling. Added together with our full range of services, which include hazardous waste, food waste, general waste and our paper cup recycling service, we can take care of all your waste management requirements.
