Less Waste offers a holistic solution to businesses and organisations that wish to improve their waste and recycling systems. We make this easy and cost effective by setting up a low-cost, low-maintenance waste reduction and recycling system, appropriate to your organisation and according to guidelines from the Ministry for the Environment.

Why should you waste less and recycle more?

• Landfill prices are likely to increase sharply with increased focus on environmental impacts and legislative change.
• Recycling most high volume waste products, e.g. paper, cardboard and plastics is cheaper than sending it to landfill.
• There is increasing public scrutiny of the environmental credentials of organisations.
• A well functioning recycling system helps create a better working environment for employees..

What do we do for our clients?

Less Waste believes that active engagement of staff and high level managerial committment are the key to implementing a successful waste and recycling system. We work with our clients to produce a system that is appropriate for them and which is virtually self-sustaining.

We understand that changing an organisation's waste system can appear daunting and time consuming. However, Less Waste knows the steps required and will do most of the preparation and implentation for you. More specifically our work will usually involve:

• Coordinating a baseline waste audit so you know what is being thrown away and where improvements can be made
• Advising on the options for managing your waste, including the environmental and financial costs and benefits
• Coordinating active engagement of staff to increase awareness and harness enthusiasm for improved waste management in the organisation
• Providing educational tools and training for staff
• Designing recycling centres and helping to decide the location of recycling equipment
• Liasing with waste service providers on what changes are required
• Performing a review of the recycling system after 3-6 months (including a waste audit)
• Providing on-going support and advice
