London 2012 Olympic Games

The 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympics will soon be with us in 2012. First Mile wants this to be an enjoyable and prosperous period for all our customers.

The Games will cause major disruptions in London from July to September 2012. The key dates are 27 July to 12 August 2012 for the Olympics and 29 August to 9 Sept 2012 for the Paralympics. Many roads will be closed, security will be high and many restrictions will be in place.

First Mile’s careful plans for the Olympics are as follows:

  • Additional drivers and vehicles to guarantee collections
  • Specialised uniformed street teams to consolidate recycling for collection
  • Emergency vehicles on standby throughout London
  • Flexible collection times and locations to fit around you and the Games
  • 24/7 customer support

All our services will continue to remain available daily throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Games, so let us help you make the 2012 Games as successful as possible.
