Creating Opportunities
All our commercial activities support and sustain our charitable programmes; reducing reoffending, supporting homeless men and redistributing food. These create opportunities through:

- Residential Support - individuals who would otherwise be homeless are supported to regain their independence and move into work and housing;
- Food Redistribution - small charities and community groups are supported to reduce their running costs and expand their service offering as we redistribute surplus food from supermarkets and suppliers to them.

Management FAQs
Find the answers to all your questions about Total Waste Management below.
Q: Can Recycling Lives save
my business money?
A:
Yes. In fact, we can make your business money too. We’ll help you to streamline your processes to reduce and segregate waste, to reduce the cost of your waste disposal. We will also pass on any rebates generated from commodity-led waste streams. And when you align with Recycling Lives unique charitable programmes and values, you’ll achieve tangible CSR for your business, helping you to win more work and contracts.
Q: Do I need to sign
a contract?
A:
That depends on the size of your business. Larger businesses always require a contract, but smaller businesses can choose whether or not they want a contract. Having a contract can provide your business with benefits, regardless of its size, since we are able to offer better rates for our waste services if we are assured of your custom. Either way, you’ll need to open an account with us to ensure compliance with all waste regulations.
