Our Story So Far...
About us
We set out in 2004 on a mission to revolutionise business sustainability, starting with waste and recycling.
Today we help over 30,000 UK businesses with zero-to-landfill waste collection, over 25 other recycling collection services.
And along the way we've implemented lots of innovative tech to help us deliver a hassle-free, low impact, reliable service that’s good for our customers, as well as the planet.
Team
Bruce Bratley founded First Mile with an environmental PHD and a solid commercial background; he's intent on helping businesses champion the environment.
Our team’s made up of 150 of the best drivers around and 100 enthusiastic environmentalists in Head Office.
Each of us is dedicated to building a greener, happier world. And to getting Bruce on the dance floor at the Christmas party.
B Corp Certified
We're proud to be one of the first businesses in the waste management industry to become B Corp Certified.
Achieving B Corp status recognises not only the performance of our range of products and services, but how we conduct all of our business practices too.
