Our ethos
Customer Care
Customer care is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve been in the business for over forty years, and there’s a very good reason for that: we listen to our customers. We deliver the things you want, at prices that suit you and, by developing creative and resourceful solutions, we ensure that making ethical and environmentally-friendly choices doesn’t cost you the Earth.
Health and Safety
Health and Safety colours every aspect of the operations at Recycling Lives. We monitor and review our policies consistently, ensuring that we are compliant with all current legislation. All our activities begin with a risk assessment, allowing us to identify and control risks, or remove them completely.
Our customers and our workforce are our most valuable assets and we are 100% committed to keeping them safe.
Innovation
We understand that most businesses can’t afford to make a loss on products and services, no matter how environmentally-friendly and ethical they might be. From a commercial stance, many ‘green’ options require significant sacrifice on the part of the customer, either in terms of quality or cost.
Recycling Lives is different. We’re a commercial company first and foremost, which means that we understand your business needs. With over 40 years experience in the recycling and waste management business, we’re a leader in the green sector, and we know how to make ground-breaking environmental solutions work on a commercial level. Our products and services are creative, high-quality and commercially competitive solutions that can help you to become more eco-friendly with no impact on your day-to-day operations.
Community Focus
We care about local communities, and we know that most businesses do, too. Our aim is to make it easier for you to have a positive impact on the community without having to suffer any negative impacts on your business. Simply by choosing to use Recycling Lives as your waste management solutions provider, you can help us support the wider community.
Recycling Lives centres provide a home to people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, allowing them to work their way back to independent living. We source and provide employment and work experience opportunities within the region and we offer training and education opportunities for local people. We’re all about stimulating growth within the local community and, by working with us, companies can help make a real difference.
Our community dotcom schemes, including Bulky Waste and Furniture Donation Network, help to ensure that the benefits of the Recycling Lives group are extended to charities, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations across the UK.
Pure Corporate Social Responsibility
We want our name to be synonymous with strong core values and unswerving integrity. Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming increasingly important to customers and consumers, and Recycling Lives has a vision of successful companies, working together to improve the standard of life in their local communities and boost the economy, without sacrificing their social, ethical and environmental standards.
We not only believe that this can be done, we believe it is the best way forward in terms of both commercial and social success. We take into account the economic, social and environmental impacts of our business operations, and it’s this positive attitude that has created business opportunities, improved our competitiveness and increased community confidence in the Recycling Lives concept.
