Mark Hall, Communications Director of FreeCollections.co.uk, said:
“We’ve made is very simple for charities to sign up – to find out if you’re eligible, it’s as simple as filling in a form and a representative will be in touch.”
“As a nation we are, unfortunately, still way behind when it comes to recycling, and reducing un-recycled business waste is a crucial aspect of tackling the problem. We hope that this will push recycling rates up and not only will this have a cumulative positive impact on the environment – it will also save eligible companies thousands of pounds a year.”
