Recycling not only makes financial sense for businesses by saving money, but as a priority it supports corporate social responsibility and has a positively substantial impact on the environment and communities around us.

Organisations across the UK are making progress in improving recycling rates and disposing of waste correctly, but evidently there is still some way to go to achieve the UK’s zero waste target.

To help support public sector organisations, we have highlighted some of our key frameworks that provide you with a flexible, compliant, single route to market for disposing of your waste effectively and efficiently. These frameworks are well equipped to ensuring customers are helping to facilitate and support zero waste.

 

	Waste, Recycling Collection and Disposal Services (379)
	Hazardous and Specialist Waste Services (378)
	Refuse and Recycling Products (860)
	Washroom Services (239)
	Secure Shredding and Disposal (981)
	Lot 1 of our Specialist Vehicles framework (215)

This solution provides collection and disposal services for common waste and recycling. There is also a dedicated food waste collection and recycling service available which offers further opportunity to reduce costs, whilst also helping to meet environmental aspirations by supporting the zero waste to landfill initiative.

Why use Framework 379?
 

Framework 378 delivers a solution for the collection and disposal of specialist waste as well as waste from site clearances. Suppliers on the framework take environmental matters seriously so rest assured they can provide you with a sustainable solution for managing your waste.
