Recycled
Nearly all waste produced is recycled at source.
Disposal at source
Locating bins lineside
By locating bins line-side, they are positioned close to the point of waste production, which is ergonomically more efficient and encourages disposal.
It’s important to consider the “foot miles” of your waste, which often has 6-7 touchpoint before reaching it’s final recycling or disposal destination.
Reducing double handling on site can cut out 2-3 touchpoints, and create efficiency improvements while reducing labour time spent moving waste materials around site unnecessarily.

Segregate to accumulate
Improving segregation on our customer sites allows us to unlock the value in their waste streams.
Materials that can be recycled can attract a rebate value. Separating recyclables from general waste is the first step.
It may then be possible to separate waste streams further to maximise value – copper and aluminium is worth far more than mixed steel.
Axil has good experience of advising on this and can set up segregation schemes with proven track records.
“Partnering with Axil has helped us make significant improvements, with over 90% of waste now diverted from Landfill and an overall increase in recycling across our site.”

Increasing recyclates
Colour-coded bins
Uniform colour coding of containers across your site will encourage staff and visitors to place waste into the right bin and ultimately increase recycling rates.
We work with you to re-engineer waste processes and ensure bins are not only colour-coded, but have suitable and clear signage and back boards.
These small touchers anchor the message and ensure correct segregation of recyclates versus general and hazardous waste.
