Recycling

At London Refuse we have embraced recycling as a part of our business recognising that it is something which is becoming more and more important in everyday life and will inevitably become legislation that all commercial enterprises must have some form of recycling facility in place within their working environment.

Therefore London Refuse has devised simple methods that can be implemented within your business to maximise the effect your company has on recycling. The recycling element is actually quite a simple process; we would provide colour coded bags for your building - different colours for different recyclables. You use these bags in the bins and dispose of them in the normal way as each bag is filled and they are collected daily along with rest of your waste.

The main recyclable that most buildings produce is office paper . We can provide your business with bags or bins for use on each floor or office which will not only save on your waste bills but help ease the problems with landfill sites and diminishing woodlands.

DID YOU KNOW? OVER 80% OF YOUR OFFICE PAPER IS SUITABLE FOR RECYCLING!!

Cardboard needs nothing more than to be flat packed and neatly stacked for collection with a London Refuse 'cardboard sticker' certifying it for collection and recycling.

For glass and bottles , white bags can be used - usually via a 'bottle bin' in the restaurant or staff canteen that is empted once or twice daily.

For general non-recyclable waste green bags are used.

All our bags and stickers can be ordered in quantities of 50 and include everything from VAT to daily collection and disposal plus recycling. For prices click here

Unfortunately, we are unable to collect items such as light bulbs, printer cartridges or aluminum cans as part of the daily service because these items are not produced in large enough quantities. However, we can arrange for these items to be collected on demand once certain quantities have been collected.
