Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire

By getting the tables from Hilton Hotels we were able to save some money - very important for a small grassroots organisation like us! - and it also helped us to demonstrate the principle
of "reduce, re-use, recycle" to the cafe's users.

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
