Since the launch of Pedicargo in August we have moved over 8000 items of freight and clocked up 1000's of emission free miles, our new goal is to make recycling affordable and accessible to all local businesses. In Hereford it’s really hard to recycle trade waste, in fact a lot of trade waste goes to landfill. We want to start with businesses close to town and then expand.
If you are a business close to town we can offer the following solution:
Recycling of waste paper - £1 per 15kg bag (supplied by Hereford Pedicargo)
Secure shredding and recycling - £1 per 15kg bag (supplied by Hereford Pedicargo)
Recycling of cardboard and newspaper - £5 per cage/pro rata
Recycling of plastic films - £1 per bag (supplied by Hereford Pedicargo)
Free recycling of ink cartridges if you are using our recycling schemes
Orange Council waste bags cost £1.14 each, go to landfill and are set to rise in price, we are cheaper for your business and better for the environment.
Throughout February we're asking businesses to get in touch who might be keen on being involved in our scheme. We'll come and have a chat and drop a free collection bag and questionnaire to you. Then when we have a good idea of demand we will launch officially in March.
If you think we can be of help feel free to email or give me a call - 07718320195
Below are some frequently asked questions and answers that might help you with any initial queries.
I hope this has been of interest to you and I look forward to hearing from you.
