I run a large shopping centre in Hampshire and already recycle cardboard and electrical lamps on a daily basis and would love to do more. Space for storage of recycled material is a small problem and one that I would overcome but finding people who are prepared to recycle is the tricky bit. Companies seem to want to take on the whole of my waste management but the presentations merely want to take the business I already have and not present me with any better solutions.

I am extremely reluctant to let someone take my landfil business as I am on a contract that for 12 months of the year is on a fixed price rather than weighing every lorry load we dispose of. I play a much smaller game of catch up at the end of the year so my books balance better.

So, the question is, can someone produce a list of companies that recycle, what they are prepared to recycle, what the implications of recycling are (in other words recycling something in a bail but they wont pick up until you have 20 or 30 bails does not help at all).

Which recycled material will cost to be recycled and which like cardboard would present some income.

finally where is there information on the new proposals and how can I get into this money saving scheme.

Thank you for your help
