The post you are reporting:
For years one of my hobby-horses has been the absence of sensible provision for small businesses such as ours to access recycling facilities at reasonable expense.
The large waste contractors are not interested in small volume producers of waste and charge accordingly. In our case we cannot use a bottle recycling wheelie bin because we can't keep it out at the front as it would be unsightly and would probably end up in the river on a Saturday night. We can't keep it out the back as we have no rear access and it would never fit up the stairs.
No local firm will collect bottles in any other way, so, like most other businesses with the same problem, we have had to be 'resourceful' in our disposal arrangements.
Like many households, we have also to dispose of paper, card, plastic, tins, and occasionally textiles. Until now there has been no agency, either council or commercial, that will handle all these items, necessitating relationship with more than one firm.
I once asked KCC why they did not allow small businesses to use household recycling sites; the response was that Brussels does not set targets for business waste recycling.
Now, through a Dover Express article a couple of weeks ago, we have discovered Kent Community Recycling at Hawkinge. They have just started to offer recycling facilities to businesses and even keep a record of what you drop off, so that they can donate the value of the recycled waste to a charity of your choice.
It is a Community Interest Company with knowledgeable and committed staff and we recommend them.
Downsides: they charge 10p per kg if you need stuff collected (free if you drop it off). Also you must remove all labels and other paraphernalia from bottles.
