Recycle today for a better tomorrow
Recycle today, for a better tomorrow
Like you, we care about the environment. OnSite Support are experts in the construction industry and truly understand the importance of waste management. We are actively working to reduce waste in our own supply chain, reviewing our internal processes and driving out inefficiencies, so we can help protect the environment and you as individuals.
Construction generated around three fifths (62%) of total UK waste in 2016*. Of that, 75.6% is recovered, whilst the rest enters landfill. That’s a lot of waste!
With a limited number of landfill sites now available in the UK and the impact that these landfill sites have on their surrounding areas, by choosing to recycle you’re helping to protect the environment for future generations to come.
Throughout the lifespan of a project you use a wide range of PPE and a lot of it. But what happens to your PPE once you’re done with it?

Your OnSite Support PPE Recycling Service
Step 1. Requesting your PPE Recycling Service
Contact us to request your 240L Recycling Wheeled Container and the PPE recycling woven sacks
(supplied in multiples of 5). These items will be delivered separately (to minimise the carbon footprint)
to your site within 5 working days. On the wheeled storage bin, full details of the service and collection
process is supplied
Step 2. Collection
Once you have 5 or more PPE recycling collection sacks filled please contact Recycling Lives and
request collection. Recycling Lives collect from all cable tied sacks from one central location, which has
to be the same as the delivery postcode. To maximise logistics efficiencies and minimise unnecessary
journeys (to reduce CO2), your collection date may be up to 10 working days. If urgent, please discuss
directly with Recycling Lives who may be able to prioritise the collection

Step 3. Confirmation of Collection
Recycling Lives will continue to stay in contact with you throughout the process
Step 4. Tracking Your PPE Recycling
Once your PPE is collected, we will be advised from Recycling Lives and at the end of the month, we will
receive full reporting on the different waste streams used to recycle your materials
FORS – Currently we are unable to service sites which insist on FORS due to the logistics situation with
Recycling Lives. We do however offer a similar service through a company who is fully FORS registered.
