Waste Audits & Reduction

 

At First Mile, we recognise the best way to reduce your carbon footprint is through understanding and reducing your current levels of waste.

We use a three-step approach to helping our customers understand their waste management needs and put a strategy into action.  

Our free waste services for customers can identify items in your waste stream that can be recycled or reused, helping you reduce waste, recycle more and save money – audits also help to ensure compliance with new regulations (link here to Webinar on legislation)
