Your business can now help power the circular economy as First Mile makes it easy to return and recycle any material.
Enable your customers or workforce to recycle your brand's end-of-life products or packaging by bringing to a Return and Recycle point set up in your retail store, restaurant, café or workplace.
How it works:
- Order your Return and Recycle Point online - selecting from 6 product types (more information below)
- Receive your Return and Recycle Point within 2-3 working days - assemble one of the bins and place in a prominent position
- Your customers or workforce use the recycling point to dispose of products or packaging of the selected materials
- When your Return and Recycle Point is full just scan the QR code on the box to arrange a collection
- We will collect your Return and Recycle Point(s) to take back to our sorting facility to be processed and sent on to be recycled
