Facilities management
Save money by sharing waste services
This sharing business bins guidance is designed to provide facilities management companies with good practice approaches and support in developing shared bin services.
Engaging with business premises, people managing the waste and waste collectors
If a business is located within a shared waste service location, it will need to ensure that it adheres to the service requirements.
How to Encourage Shared Bin Use as a Facilities Manager
It is likely that for small and micro business customers, the requirements of Simpler Recycling will increase number of containers they need to accommodate and therefore the cost of their waste management services may increase.
Simpler Recycling
To comply with the Simpler Recycling requirements a business must separate food waste, paper & card (unless collected with mixed recycling by the waste collector), mixed dry recycling (plastic, glass, metal), and residual waste, as a minimum. Optimising the service to separate these waste streams can often save money.
How to Include Shared Bin Services in a Contract
To effectively incorporate shared provision of waste facilities into a facilities management contract, it is essential to establish clear governance structures and define precise responsibilities between all participating parties.
