Pioneering New Recycling Services

LEEP Recycling was the leading UK trial partner in the WRAP SME Recycling Programme, in December 2005, which was supported by Scottish Waste Aware Group (SWAG) and the Scottish Government. This led to further successful partnerships with WRAP to promote recycling for industrial estates and business parks, IT recycling for businesses and recycling for retail premises.

Partnering with the City of Edinburgh Council

As a result of the last trial, in October 2007, LEEP Recycling became the established recycling partner for The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) Trade Waste Services. Over an eight-week period, 156 businesses successfully transferred from a trade waste service to the full recycling service with LEEP Recycling.

Investing in New and Better Services

LEEP Recycling has continued to invest in efficient internal systems and operational equipment.

Our collections are scheduled on a dedicated web-based application where dynamic changes to vehicle routings can be made in real time and ahead of schedule. Collection routes are downloaded automatically to hand held PDAs on which our drivers record the collections made. This data is then automatically uploaded to our invoicing system. At present we send out paper invoices but intend shortly to offer our clients the option of direct debit to further reduce the amount of paper we consume as a business.

Raising Environmental Standards

We take our impact on the environment seriously and in addition to an in-house green team, which looks at continuous process improvement, we are also accredited to ISO 14001 standard.

Wherever possible we seek to find recycling sources for our materials in the UK.

As we’ve grown, we have also aimed to reduce our ecological footprint. For example, we have invested in baling equipment to reduce the impact of processing and transportation. LEEP Recycling has also invested in a dedicated and highly secure confidential paper shredding complex, operating to UKSSA standards.
