Real Recycling

Our goal is to reuse or recycle as much of your waste as possible to reduce the impact on the environment. We can help you to segregate your waste at the source by providing containers that make it easy and efficient.

At our state of the art materials recovery facility we pick out everything that can be recycled to stop an over reliance on waste-to-energy facilities. When we collect your waste we make sure as much of it as possible goes on to be something else.

Lastly, we use carbon conscious vehicles to collect your waste, so that the entire waste management process is focussed on doing good.

Real People

At Fresh Start we treat our customers like people, not numbers. You’ll be given your own personal account manager and get to speak to a real person whenever you need help or support.

We don’t just collect your waste either. Our waste management services include an initial audit to see how you can better manage your business waste and save money.

We’ll then offer regular audits to make sure that you’re always getting the best deal. We believe in fair prices, not compulsory annual price hikes.

What Is Waste Management?

bullet

Waste management is the process of collecting, treating, and disposing of waste in an environmentally friendly way. This includes proper recycling and composting as a first priority. Waste management also involves reducing the amount of waste produced in the first place so that less waste is generated. This can be through using resources more efficiently or cutting back on how much is used at all. For businesses, waste management is an essential function due to the amount of waste that is produced. Using a waste management company means clearing waste safely and sustainably in order to prevent pollution, protect natural resources, and reduce the costs associated with waste disposal.

How Is Waste Disposed Of?

bullet

Waste management companies dispose of waste in a number of ways. At Fresh Start, the priority is to first reduce how much waste you use. For unavoidable waste, the next step is to make sure the vast majority is recycled or reused. This means separating materials such as paper, glass and metal, and then sending it to be repurposed. Some waste management companies rely on waste to energy facilities, where waste is turned into energy, but this still has a negative impact on the environment. The last resort for waste management services is to send waste to landfill; something Fresh Start actively avoids.

What Is the Most Sustainable Waste Management Solution?

bullet

The most sustainable waste management method is to reduce how much waste is generated at all. This means completing a survey or undertaking an audit to look at exactly how much waste is being produced, and where this can be cut back. This might mean using refillable water bottles rather than plastic cups or having a paperless office. The next most sustainable option is to recycle wherever possible, so having compost bins for leftover food or a dedicated bin for cardboard, glass and metal for example. This makes recycling faster and more energy efficient, which also contributes to a greener future.

How Much Do Waste Management Companies Cost?

bullet

There is no set price for waste management services because every customer is different. The total cost will vary according to the size of the business and the waste produced, as well as other factors such as frequency of collections. At Fresh Start we check every aspect of your waste management needs to ensure we offer the fairest price. We also advise on how you can make big and small changes to cut back on overall waste, which will save you money on collections and reduce your waste management costs.

What Is the Easiest Way to Recycle Business Waste?

bullet

The easiest way to recycle business waste is to use a simple recycling system. Having designated containers for different types of waste makes it straightforward when separating any waste. Educating employees on the importance of recycling and providing training on how to properly dispose of waste can also help make the process easier and more effective. Of course, using a waste management company that is committed to real recycling is also a positive and effective way to recycle business waste.
