Best Practice

Read The Green Blue guide to setting up a recycling scheme
Look at your waste contract and see what you are paying for
Carry out a waste analysis to see what your business produces
Identify which waste streams you would like to recycle
Look at various contractors in your area, organise site meetings, discuss which waste streams can be recycled, costs, number of weekly lifts and remember to haggle!
Identify appropriate location(s) for the recycling and landfill bins
Design good signage
Train staff and notify users of the new scheme. Explain the reasons and ask your customers to get involved
Monitor. Take a peek inside your bins and ask the contractor for feedback on contamination
Contact The Green Blue if you require help in setting up a scheme or negotiating your contract. Sometimes you may not need to reach the end of a contract in order to secure a better one
