Presented by: Amanda Sivori Recycling within the SME market – issues and solutions

1.Every business is the same? 2.Are SME’s worth account management? 3.Is it really worth it for such a small amount of waste? 4.Are there enough recyclables to generate a need for a separate container?

Customers are on first name terms and even pop in for a brew Internet based firm therefore it’s as simple as buying from Amazon TRC’s accepts 28 different waste streams and every one is recycled

Average UK price for a general waste container = £10.00 Cost of one TRC membership = £7.95 per week
