Hospitality and F&B groups

Focus on running your business while we handle your waste and recycling. Our high-end, reliable service takes the hassle out of waste management across multiple restaurants, hotels or other venues and geographies:

• Multiple collections per day at times that best suit your kitchens, bar or theatres, including overnight
• Zero-to-landfill guarantee and high recycling rates with as much waste as possible recovered for recycling at our materials sorting facility before being sent on to trusted waste partners for processing
• Easily recycle the materials commonly disposed of in your sector such as coffee cups, food packaging or pallets alongside core commercial waste services like general waste, mixed recycling and food waste
• Book ad hoc services at the click of the button and get same day clearances with our same zero-to-landfill promise and high recycling rates

We take a data-driven approach to understanding your needs to deliver on strategic initiatives that focus on reducing complexity, controlling spend and increasing recycling rates. Example projects include:

• Identifying opportunities for driving recycling rates e.g implementing additional streams such as flexible plastics. Higher recycling rates can have significant cost reductions as recycling services are more cost effective
• Auditing your waste output to identify areas of suboptimal waste management and look for opportunities to save money through streamlined services and optimised schedules
• Engagement programmes that empower your teams to recycle. We provide on-site or multi-media training programmes that deliver higher engagement and understanding, leading to better recycling rates and reduced contamination.

Empower each location with access to a portal locked to their specific site. Venues can easily manage services, order collections, and get support - all from one central system. Maintain full control over settings such as permissions and order limits.

Stay ahead of evolving environmental legislation with expert guidance you can rely on. First Mile helps hospitality owners and managers navigate complex regulatory requirements, streamline reporting, and implement best-practice waste and recycling strategies across every vennue in your portfolio.

From emerging waste regulations such as the deposit returns scheme to sustainability standards and accreditations  we provide the insight, data and hands-on support you need to remain compliant, demonstrate leadership and future-proof your organisation.
