The Cleanforce Recycling Scheme
Most office waste can be recycled, reducing the amount of ordinary waste placed out for costly local authority collection. We provide recycling bins and sacks for recyclable waste collection at the appropriate time.  Just call us when they are full and we arrange collection.  There is an annual scheme fee for the WHITE PAPER RECYCLING and we have additional Recycling Options which cover most office items, as you will see from our Recycling A-Z.  Our unique approach frees up your time, saves you money and helps the environment.

WHITE PAPER RECYCLING
tick WHITE PAPER - any paper that is predominently white and has no plastic or glue
tick Copier and letterhead paper (including colour logos and inks, which are fine)
tick Staples and paper clips are fine and don't need to be removed
tick You may use some (but not all) of your 6 sacks per collection for shredded paper (please keep in separate sacks)
tick ANY CARTRIDGE from a laser printer, fax machine, ink jet printer
HOW DOES THE SCHEME WORK ??
How does it work? Simple - we leave you six WHITE sacks free of charge. You let us know when you have filled them We'll arrange a collection, take it away and leave you another 6 free WHITE sacks.
What else do I need know? What you CAN put in your WHITE sacks You can put any paper that is predominantly white and has no plastic or glue. If you have any ink cartridges, you just put them back in their boxes and leave with your sacks. Shredded paper should be in separate sacks from non-shredded paper.
See RECYCLING OPTIONS for the ful list
and ... What you CAN'T put in your WHITE sacks Some paper is not allowed.
See RECYCLING OPTIONS for the full list
What if I have other things I want to recycle that aren't included in the WHITE PAPER scheme You can purchase additional sacks to recycle almost anything.   BLUE sacks for mixed paper and CLEAR sacks for cans and plastic bottles are sold in bundles of 10 and collection is free when collected along with WHITE sacks - BLUE and CLEAR sacks are not replaced when collected; new ones must be purchased. 
See RECYCLING OPTIONS for the full list
Tell me more about collections? We'll arrange collection of your 6 sacks when they are all full - just give us a call 020 8385 8000 or send an email If you have purchased additional sacks we can normally collect all these different recyclables at the same time. This minimises vehicle movements and offers you the most efficient service. What's more they normally count towards your minimum collection requirements of 6 sacks.
I can't see what I want to recycle on the full recycling options list? See our A-Z of recycling for everything else not already mentioned!  There are only 2 items we cannot recycle, ream wrappers (these coated water-proof wrappers must be thrown away) and photocopier toner refills
Why can't I mix everything together? We realise that it's sometimes hard to keep all the different recyclables separate and to keep rubbish out of the recycling bins. Why then do we insist upon this when it would be so much easier to mix everything together? Mixing recyclables is the quickest way to destroy their environmental value. Instead of clean materials that can be easily used by industry to produce valuable new products, we end up with a horrible mixture that is either exported to China where labourers will hand-sort it for £1 / day, or is fit only for burning or the most basic recycling options. Mixing recyclables together produces just one thing - more rubbish!
We'd like people to know we are making an effort to help the environment, is this possible? Yes - we will supply you with a Certificate you can display in your office which shows you have an award for Office Recycling We strongly believe that office recycling goes hand in hand with office cleaning and that it not only falls on the office to show initiative in this area but it is also a responsibilty of the cleaning companies to "do their bit". That is why we offer you the certificate in the hope that others will follow suit and also offer our Cleanforce customers recycling as one of our services.
