There are 3R's in Surrey: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle your business waste

When you start to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle at work, you will soon realise the many benefits.

Reducing, reusing and recycling at work is straightforward and easy to do. It's easy to use less, reuse what you can and separate out materials to recycle from your other waste. All you have to do is get a good system in place. Our A-Z of recycling materials shows a comprehensive list of waste management companies serving Surrey.

Smaller companies often feel they do not generate enough recyclable material. By joining in with neighbouring companies will make economies of scale more attractive to recycling contractors and more cost effective to businesses.

It's good for the environment. Waste in England has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. Reducing, reusing and recycling at work will help you reduce the environmental impact of your business.

Recycling your waste materials means they can be used again in new products and applications, instead of simply going to landfill where they generate harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

Surrey Local Authorities are supporting retailers in their efforts to reduce the amount of plastic bags being used in the county. We have designed some colourful eye-catching posters available for download, and would like to encourage shopkeepers to display them in their windows or in their premises.
