Waste & recycling services for cleaners and facilities managers  

Keeping buildings clean, safe and running smoothly takes more than just hard work. You also need a waste and recycling partner who understands the challenges you face. That includes managing multiple waste streams across different sites, working around limited bin space, tight cleaning windows and changing schedules.

First Mile’s facilities management waste services are built around the realities of your day-to-day operations. From early mornings to late nights and weekend shifts, we provide reliable, flexible and fully compliant waste collections that help you meet hygiene standards, stay on top of site demands and deliver for your clients.

With First Mile, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. All waste is diverted from landfill, with recycling and energy recovery included in every service. You get peace of mind, clear documentation, and a cleaner, greener site without the stress.
