“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.”

Simpler Recycling

On 31st March 2025 Simpler Recycling Laws came into effect. All businesses with 10 or more full time equivalent employees must 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 secure shredding 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.

Why Pay for a Shredding Service?

Utilising our lockable containers means the moment you have a piece of paper containing confidential information you can pop it in there and it isn’t left lying around until you get time to use your noisy and potentially unreliable office shredder. This minimises the risk of data breaches and expensive data protection fines, which increased in recent years with the introduction of GDPR.

Additionally, you can be certain that your paper-free business working environment is meeting its obligation towards sustainability as 100% of shredded paper is recycled in the UK. The knock-on effect being less trees need to be felled to create new paper and thus your carbon impact as a business is reduced.
