Achieve sustainability excellence at your sites
What makes First Mile different?
Managing waste across more than one office is harder than it sounds. Different buildings, different landlords, different teams, and different habits from one site to the next, all while you are trying to hit one consistent standard across the business.
We work with office-based businesses to bring every site under one contract, one point of contact and one set of reporting, while still tailoring the service to what each office actually needs. As working patterns shift and hybrid working changes how much waste an office produces day to day, we help you keep pace without overpaying for collections you do not need.
Find out how we can help you recycle more, cut costs and give your business one clear picture of its waste across every office.
What we do for offices
Flexible, reliable waste and recycling collections
We build a service that flexes with how your offices actually work:
- Collections scheduled around occupancy, not a fixed pattern that ignores quieter days
- Zero-to-landfill guarantee and high recycling rates, with waste recovered at our own sorting facility
- Confidential waste and secure destruction alongside everyday recycling streams
- Book ad hoc services online in just a few minutes when you need an extra collection or an office clearance
Efficiency projects that deliver lasting results
We take a data-driven approach to reducing complexity and controlling spend across your office estate.
- Auditing waste output site by site to right-size collections and cut unnecessary cost
- Engagement programmes that help employees recycle correctly, whether they are in the office every day or a few times a week
Employee engagement across every site
Getting recycling right in an office depends on people, not just bins. We help you build good habits across every location.
- Clear signage and bin labelling that stays consistent from office to office
- Staff engagement campaigns, sustainability challenges and green team support
- Guidance that flexes with hybrid working, so quieter offices are not paying for a service built for full occupancy
Industry-leading carbon data tools
Our Recycling Data Studio and RecycleID give you one clear view of performance across your whole office estate.
- Recycling rates and carbon savings reported by office or across the whole business
- Environmental conversions including Carbon WARM and Scope 3 Emissions reporting
- One online reporting suite, whether you operate one office or twenty
Dedicated account management
Our dedicated account managers work with you from day one, giving you one relationship across every office rather than a different contact for every site.

Can First Mile manage waste across multiple offices under one contract?
We can bring every office under one contract and one point of contact, with reporting broken down by site or across your whole business, whichever is more useful to you.
How do you handle offices with different occupancy levels?
We can adjust collection schedules to match how busy each office actually is, so you are not paying for a service built around full occupancy if working patterns have changed.
Does First Mile handle confidential waste as well as general recycling?
We offer secure destruction and confidential waste collections alongside everyday recycling streams, so you can manage everything through one provider.
Can you support offices that are growing or adding new sites?
Our service scales with you, so adding a new office to your account is straightforward and reporting stays consistent across the whole estate.
Is the service zero to landfill?
Yes. Any waste that cannot be recycled is processed for energy recovery, never sent to landfill.
