Recycling Unusual Items

Is your business making the most of our Smarter Recycling service? 

Through our two scheme partners – First Mile and Recorra – you can recycle an array of items, in addition to general waste.   

First Mile recycles over 20 different types of materials, from the usual paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and food, to the more obscure such as coffee pods, textiles, light bulbs and cooking oil. And, with its no landfill policy, anything that can’t be recycled is turned into green energy. First Mile can also help you to dispose of your old laptops, monitors and other IT equipment, refurbishing the items and redistributing them to charities and community groups. 

Meanwhile, Recorra offers users the option of SustainABLE Boxes to capture hard-to-recycle items such as crisp and snack packets, stationery, plastic film, textiles, toiletries and coffee pods. In addition to this, Recorra offers free Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) Sweeps on a quarterly basis to members as well as ad hoc WEEE collections, including items such as office equipment, kitchen appliances and white goods, of which working items are refurbished and reused whilst non-working items are disassembled and the components recycled. 

Smarter Recycling offers simplified waste management across the Baker Street Quarter and Harley Street BID areas, that help your business cut costs and meet its green goals. As more businesses use our service, the more we improve the area’s air quality and congestion by having fewer vehicles in the Quarter collecting rubbish.
