Smarter Recycling

First Mile recycles over 20 different types of materials, from the usual suspects of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and food, to the more obscure such as coffee pods, textiles, light bulbs and cooking oil. With a no landfill policy, anything that can’t be recycled is turned into green energy.

Their electric zero-emissions cargo bikes are out on the streets collecting waste from businesses as and when required.

Detailed reporting, even for businesses based in multi-tenant buildings who benefit from using easily identifiable bar-coded sacks, so you can keep track of your recycling rates to help you reach targets.

Detailed waste audits assess the waste your business produces, what is recycled and what is thrown away. You then receive a Waste Audit Report with recommendations on how to cut waste and improve your recycling rates.

Redistributing WEEE into the community. By using First Mile to dispose of your old laptops, monitors and other IT equipment, they will refurbish the items and redistribute them to charities and community groups.

Their monthly FREE ‘How to Recycle’ online interactive workshop shows businesses the best ways to recycle and how to set up services in the right way, plus a chance to answer commonly asked questions surrounding recycling.

Recorra provides users with SustainABLE Boxes that enable you to capture hard-to-recycle items such as crisp and snack packets, stationery, plastic film, textiles, toiletries and coffee pods.

Detailed waste audits help you to understand what you are throwing away and involve sorting through rubbish either onsite or at their depot. Recorra will then identify recycling solutions to dramatically cut your waste.

Recorra offer free Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) Sweeps on a quarterly basis to members. In addition to this, they offer ad hoc WEEE collections, including items such as office equipment, kitchen appliances and white goods, of which working items are refurbished and reused whilst non-working items are disassembled and the components recycled.

The Recycling Hub allows multi-occupied buildings to provide its tenants with a pay-as-you-go service for any of the Recorra recycling services. Users also benefit from detailed reporting to help keep track of recycling rates and measure achievements against targets.
