How can I reduce my business waste costs?

Our waste management services are designed to ensure your business has the right level of waste collections, recycling options, and sustainable practices in place. We'll assess whether you have the correct frequency of collections, are recycling effectively, and, if relevant, are properly managing food waste. By aligning these services with your actual needs, we can help reduce waste disposal costs and improve efficiency.

A waste audit is an excellent tool to pinpoint where improvements can be made. It helps identify areas where you may be overspending, such as paying for unnecessary collections or failing to recycle materials that could reduce costs. For instance, many businesses unknowingly dispose of recyclables with general waste, missing out on savings from recycling services. When this happens, we can implement recycling training to help staff understand best practices.

Our mixed recycling collection is an easy and cost-effective solution. By combining various materials — like glass and coffee cups - into one bin, your business can reduce waste costs without the need to separate items at the source.

What is a waste audit?

A waste audit is the process of examining your business' current practices and advising on improvements. It determines what is and what is not currently working.

Our team will do the hard work for you by looking at your business' waste to identify what is being thrown away and what is being recycled or disposed of by other means. The audit can identify areas for change to save you time, money and importantly help promote sustainability. 

If you are working towards a sustainability target, the audit is also a great way to begin measuring progress in waste management.

How often should I have a waste audit?

Ideally your business should have a waste audit every year. This will ensure that you are meeting UK waste regulations and help to measure success.

The initial waste audit will give you a benchmark to improve on year-on-year. Targets can then be set to measure the progress and effectiveness of your waste and recycling programs.
