Testimonials

“We have stayed with Fresh Start for a number of years as we are extremely happy with the service we provide. We have a dedicated account manager and always receive a personal service when we require an alteration. Fresh Start fulfil all our requirements and haven’t lost the ability to be flexible, agile and responsive to the changes in our waste and recycling collection schedule required.”

“Choosing a cost-effective, reliable and environmentally efficient waste partner meant Fresh Start was the obvious choice. Sean Martins, their Commercial Manager, has helped us transition to Fresh Start seemlessly.”

“Great service from Fresh Start since we started using their services in 2015. We have a very tight window that we need the collections to work within for our business and we never have any issues with this being met. We always have a 100% pick-up rate.”

“At Yotel, we place sustainability at the heart of everything we do and we are conscious of our impact on the environment and how we minimise our carbon footprint. Partnering with Fresh Start was the obvious thing to do as they are pioneers in their field and will help us meet our ambitious green targets.”

“We would wholeheartedly recommend Fresh Start to any Liverpool businesses, particularly those in the entertainment, leisure or hospitality sector, as the service is incredibly reliable, the recycling is maximised, the cost is competitive and the drivers are friendly and helpful to boot!”

Simpler Recycling

On 31st March 2025 Simpler Recycling Laws came into effect. All businesses with 10 or more full time equivalent employees must now segregate their waste streams at source. This is to allow for easier and more efficient recycling. Schools, hospitals and commercial enterprises must all comply with these updated laws and separate the following waste:

Plastic, glass, metal (cans, tins and foil), cartons & tetrapaks, paper and cardboard, and food waste.

Businesses with less than 10 employees are advised to separate any materials but will not be subject to the legislation until March 2027.

Fresh Start can ensure you are totally compliant with Simpler Recycling rules and regulations, supporting you with general waste management and sustainability across your company. We have already won two prestigious awards for our work on Simpler Recycling, including an International Green Apple Award for our Simpler Recycling for Schools campaign.

Energy Recovery

As a carbon conscious company, we have always been committed to recycling as much as possible to avoid landfill and moving customers up the waste hierarchy.

Once we have removed as many recyclable items as possible at source or through processing it at our state-of-the-art recycling centre, the residual waste is taken to a North-West based energy from waste facility where the energy from the remaining waste is harnessed to power electricity generators, resulting in green electricity.

What this means is waste is diverted from landfill, which is produces methane which is a greenhouse gas and a global warming contributor and instead is put to good use, rather than being put in a hole in the ground.
