Why Waste was established to divert valuable resources from the business waste stream away from landfill. We do this by providing a ‘match making’ service for businesses with waste and other parties who can utilise that waste. This brings the following benefits:
- Reduced waste disposal and procurement costs for participating organisations
- Savings in raw material and processing costs
- Reduced Greenhouse gas emissions
- Enhanced Corporate Social Responsibility for participating businesses
- Creating partnership between local businesses and community groups
Our services include:
- Online waste listings – the opportunity to register your waste or resource requirements online or browse through materials wanted and waste available.
- Staff time to make exchanges happen.
- On-site visits – to assess waste and give advice on options
- Information on suitable recyclers in conjunction with Recycling Action Yorkshire
- Referrals to other relevant business support programmes
- Advice on waste legislation
- Consultancy services – e.g. promotion and marketing for new recycling services
