What makes First Mile different from other waste management services in Westminster?

At First Mile, we don’t just manage your waste professionally and securely - we're also committed to a zero-to-landfill approach. That means that we will recycle and reuse as much of your waste as possible.

Anything that can’t be recycled or reused will then be taken to a waste-to-energy facility, where it will be incinerated in a process that generates electricity and heat which is used to power homes. Any remains that can't be burnt are salvaged to become building materials, so it's all put to good use rather than going to landfill.

Disposing of Coffee Grounds in the UK

The UK consumes around 98 million cups of coffee a day, generating hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste coffee grounds each year. Unfortunately, most of these used grounds end up in landfills, where they release greenhouse gases - including methane, which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

Not to mention there's so much more potential remaining in spent grounds that could be utilised! That's where our coffee grounds waste disposal service comes in.

First Mile Coffee Grounds Recycling collection

Our coffee grounds collection service also saves businesses money, since recycling coffee grounds is cheaper for your company than coffee grounds disposal with general waste.

Use the First Mile coffee recycling service to save money and reduce your carbon footprint by ensuring your company's coffee waste is recycled!
