The Story So Far

The story so far.....

Back in July 2007 we took our first steps towards reducing the amount of waste we put into landfill. The first steps we took were :

1. Cardboard boxes are re-used where possible, where not possible waste boxes are segregated and placed into a separate 'recycling' bin. This is then taken away by a contract waste collection company for recycling. All cardboard waste is also put into this bin.

2. Plastic waste from our polybag machine is collected for re-use as packaging, also any packaging (air bags & chips) from goods-in are collected for re-use.

3. Cardboard inner tubes from the centre of rolls of large format paper are kept and used for putting posters into for delivery / courier.

4. Timber pallets from paper deliveries are kept for re-use for our own deliveries.
