A 360 degree approach to recycling

Our client focused on improving public buildings, including schools and libraries across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands. The team was struggling with its previous waste partner and was looking for a supplier to improve its waste management function, save money and increase recycling rates.

  • We undertook regular site visits to gain a greater understanding of the needs of each project.
  • A single point of contact was established with our team to help communications.
  • A monthly reporting system was put in place so that detailed waste reports, including the number of skips provided, recycling percentages and waste processing methods, could be provided directly to the client.
  • The waste management contract was due to go out to tender earlier this year but, having seen a marked improvement across all of its sites, the client agreed to switch all of its waste management services to us.

Embedding recycling and waste management best practice into housebuilding

Reducing waste and increasing recycling were our key objectives, so we worked with Development Directors to deliver bespoke, site-level waste management reporting. These now provide a single, consistent format for capturing detailed information about recovered waste streams, recycling rates and waste costs in order to analyse waste management performance to inform best practice.

  • Reduced costs by up to 24 per cent for like-for-like containers
  • Reduced administration and improved invoicing
  • Introduced bespoke site waste management reporting in a consistent format
  • Rolled out a reward scheme to incentivise best practice
  • Benefited from a dedicated account manager and single point of contact for all sites
  • Increased sustainability at site level and company-wide

A dedicated point of contact means we can get quick responses and access help, support and guidance from a business that really understands our sector and our changing needs over the lifetime of a development project.

Supporting Sustainable Regeneration

As part of a £15million regeneration project; works included overhauling the building fabric, retaining heritage features including original woodwork and parquet floors, installing new bathrooms, and updating the interiors. Our client brought us in as a metal recycling and waste management specialist to handle all waste streams during the project.

  • Hazardous waste and Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) collection services were provided as required.
  • Monthly site visits to review service levels were also implemented and the team supplied waste segregation signs to simplify the waste management process.
  • Sustainability was another key focus of the project, ensuring that the construction work provided a greener future for generations ahead
