Welcome to First Mile’s recycle at work scheme for Central London.
Recycle at work is an exciting new scheme supported by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) that aims to get more small and medium enterprises recycling their waste to achieve real business benefits, while helping to protect the environment.
How it works
As part of the recycle at work scheme, you will place your white paper, coloured and mixed paper, newspapers and magazines, cardboard, glass bottles, plastic bottles and metal cans all together in our recycling sacks. Leave them out for collection and we do the rest.
We collect daily, so there is no need to store your waste on site.
Once signed-up to recycle at work, you will receive a welcome pack with recycling posters and help on starting to recycle.
The benefits of recycle at work
- easy - we give you everything to get you started
- feel good - many existing customers report a boost in employee morale
- save space - reduce workplace clutter and improve the working environment
- help the environment – recycling helps to reduce landfill, conserve energy and raw materials and makes a positive contribution to tackling climate change
- save money – our service costs less than most waste disposal services
Making it easy
As part of the recycle at work scheme, you will put your recycling materials in one of our large, durable, mixed material recycling sacks, ready for collection.
Our one sack recycling service collects:
- Paper (white and coloured), card, leaflets, brochures, magazines, business directories, newspapers, junk mail
- Envelopes (including window envelopes)
- Cardboard - in sacks or flattened and marked with our cardboard tape
- Plastic bottles
- Plastic carrier bags
- Aluminium drinks cans
- Food tins (please rinse)
- Glass bottles and jars
All these materials are recycled in one sack!
We will collect the full sacks on a daily basis so you won’t have to store waste on your premises.
