Waste Couriers and how they operate

Waste couriers are an industry that has grown thanks to the demand of recycled materials.  Their business works by finding scrap metals and other recyclables and then finding companies that want to buy it.  The more in demand a material the better price they can get, and the more competitive they become over how they purchase and or acquire it.  At the very least you should be able to negotiate free collection of your waste, saving significantly on local authority collections.

Marketing

Once you have your waste regularly collected you can then use this to market your products and services.  Most people want to feel good and save the planet, and this extra USP gives them a feeling of wellbeing when they purchase.  It can also be used to show continuous improvement as part of a Corporate Social Responsibility audit and comply with legislation. 

Separating your Scrap Metal by Type

It is a good idea to get into the habit of separating your scrap metal by type especially if you have a lot of it.  Waste couriers will probably insist upon it, especially if they are willing to buy it.  As a result, getting your teams in the mindset to sort waste is a good move.  Business that recycle most of their waste, build it into workflow so it does not become a forgotten task and so they can regulate that it is being done.
