Recycling collections

Recycling at work reduces your company’s environmental impact, improves your image and can save you money in waste collection charges.

If you are based in Hammersmith and Fulham or Kensington and Chelsea , your local authority provides competitive recycling collections.

To find other companies that can help you recycle your business waste visit the Waste Directory or the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code.
