Our subsidised recycling scheme is available for every member, saving you money and reducing your environment impact.
All Better Bankside businesses are eligible to sign up for subsidised recycling service with our local partner, Recorra. As part of the service each business is eligible for:
- A free annual allocation of Paper, Cans & Plastic sacks, based on the businesses rateable value – most businesses can expect to save £100-300 saving per year.
- A 15% discount on food waste sacks.
- Free quarterly waste electrical items collections.
If your business has used up your free allocation of Paper, Cans & Plastic Containers sacks, you can purchase more at a significantly discounted rate. The service is generally a curb side collection, however, if necessary, bins can be provided for businesses and a discount will be applied to the service to the same value as their allocation. Recorra will work with the businesses directly to arrange collections times and dates that work for them. They can also come into the business and carry out a waste audit to identify areas where recycling rates can be improved and additional savings made.
Food waste recycling
Recorra is offering a food waste recycling service with daily collections if required. The food waste collected is taken to anaerobic digestion plants where it is treated to provide energy and fertilisers. The material is not taken for incineration nor to landfill. Recorra will provide sacks and bins suitable for the collection and storage of food waste.
Waste electrical and electronic equipment collection
Free IT and waste electrical and electronic equipment sweep for your business every quarter. In an effort to reduce congestion, pollution and to ensure an efficient combined service for Better Bankside members. All data will be securely wiped from the items collected. Extra charges apply for the collection of CRT monitors, UPS’s, hard drive shredding and large domestic appliances. These usually take place towards the end of each quarter – spaces are filled quickly, so keep an eye out! See our events page for the next scheduled collection or get in touch with us to find out more.
