Kingston First
Their Challenge
Kingston First's mission is to ensure the area of Kingston is a thriving and attractive environment to do business in, as well as a vibrant destination for people to visit shop, learn, live and work.
As a Business Improvement District, Kingston First represents over 500 businesses in the area and is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and maintenance of public spaces. This includes regular waste collection and street cleaning services.
The Business Improvement District (BID) area includes a variety of business types, such as offices, retailers and the Kingston Ancient Market Place - all in need of reliable and cost-effective waste and recycling services.
