For many businesses, November is when things really start to pick up, and it’s certainly one of our busiest times of year here at Perrys! Manufacturers are busy producing Christmas gifts and seasonal products, box makers are working through orders, factories are increasing production, and retailers are getting ready for their busiest time of year.
All that extra activity means one thing: more packaging to deal with.
Cardboard boxes, paper, plastic wrapping and other packaging materials can soon start taking up valuable space. If your business is expecting a busy few months, it’s worth thinking ahead and making sure your recycling arrangements can keep up.
Keeping on Top of the Christmas Rush
When production increases, waste volumes can change quite quickly. Your usual collection arrangements might not be enough, particularly if you’re dealing with large amounts of cardboard, packaging and plastic.
The last thing you want is recyclable material piling up around your premises, getting in the way of day-to-day operations or taking up space you need for stock and production.
At Perrys Recycling, we work with businesses across the South West, providing practical recycling solutions for a range of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastics and metals.
We can provide suitable bins and collection arrangements to help keep things moving, whether you’re dealing with a few extra tonnes of cardboard or much larger volumes of packaging waste.
Making More of Your Packaging
A lot of the packaging businesses handle every day still has plenty of life left in it. Cardboard and paper, for example, can be processed and baled before being sent away to be made into new products.
The same goes for many types of plastics. Rather than simply throwing everything away, separating recyclable materials means they can be put back into use.
It’s all part of the circular economy and a practical way for businesses to make better use of the resources they already have.
Is It Time for a Better Long-Term Solution?
The Christmas rush is also a good opportunity to look at your current waste arrangements. If you’re regularly struggling with overflowing bins, too many collections or a lack of space, perhaps your existing set-up isn’t quite right.
Could you benefit from different containers, more frequent collections or a better way of separating your materials?
At Perrys, we’re happy to look at your requirements and help find an arrangement that works for your business, not just during the busy festive period but throughout the year.
