Free recycling for SMEs

(08/06/2010)

For years people have been talking about reducing CO2 emissions and greenhouse gasses, or making sustainable energy, but for the manager of a small/medium business or an office this task can look daunting, time consuming and very expensive.

You want to look good in society, you want to project a good image of your business and you’re under pressure from the board to “Go Green”, but can you actually afford it? On average it costs around £80 per month to get your recyclables collected from a medium size commercial office.

Third world countries like India and Vietnam are miles ahead of us when it comes to recycling. Glass bottles, newspapers, cans, and plastic - nothing goes to the bin, because they have an incentive to recycle!

But all this is about to change. The Environmental Project is a non-profit organisation, running a pilot scheme along with government funded agencies to offer recycling services and advise to businesses in London for free.

To encourage recycling in the commercial world, they have, with the help of government grants and specialist recycling companies introduced a pilot project to provide collection and transportation of all your office recyclables with no cost to you. So if you are not recycling at the moment or are paying huge amounts for it, this is a great chance to make savings, help the environment, make awareness amongst your workforce and enhance your company profile.

You can join thousands of companies across London who are seeing the benefits of the Environmental Project today, simply by registering online.
