Best Waste Management- Heddon Street Recycling Scheme
Our team managing Heddon Street trialled a consolidated waste recycling scheme with the aim to eliminate bags on the street and increase the recycling rates. Achievements of this scheme:
-Removed waste bags from the street, improving the overall environment and reducing vermin
-Consolidated the number of waste contractors and collections, reducing vehicles and congestion.
-Increase in recycling from 5% to 40%.
Best Client Team of the Year- FM bespoke customer engagement initiative to recycle food waste, eliminate single-use plastic and consolidate waste recycling.
Three of RSMD’s Facilities Managers undertook separate projects to positively influence occupiers’ behaviour. There projects were to improve the recycling rates by consolidating recycling: reducing single-use plastics by distributing reusable bottles to occupiers; and engaging with businesses to sustainably manage food waste and coffee grounds. This scheme has:
-Eradicated bags from the street and reduced vehicle movements
-Removed approximately 121,000 plastic cups from use a year
-Increase from 43% to 62% recycling rate from October 2018 to April 2019.
