The Big Picture
The environment's at the heart of all our work.
Welcome to the First Mile features and hot topics that make us tick.
The Mighty Frozen Pea and Reducing Food Waste
I was going to write a blog on food waste at Christmas, but it is Easter already and the egg shaped environmental hazard is filling our shops and homes. Over packaged, sugar packed processed eggs are everywhere and seem to get cheaper every year. This means the grandparent’s pensions buy more eggs. Obviously I have to save the kids health by eating the majority of the eggs myself, and the recycling bin is also full of packaging.
New Look Monthly Recycling Reports
One of the ways we help you recycle as much as you can is by keeping you regularly updated on your recycling performance.We've just given our monthly recycling report a brand new look, and we’re sending it to more businesses than ever before!It shows how many kilograms of material you’re recycling, and how much you’re throwing away. The higher your recycling rate, the better – and we’re sure we can get you recycling at least 90% of your waste.
