SR Recycling, the electronic, electrical and metal waste recycling
service that claims to recycle over 99% of all waste it collects
delivered its very first “Green Box” to the UK Steel Enterprise owned
Innovation Centre in Sheffield – collecting half a ton of waste in the
process!

Barnsley based SR Recycling is building strong links with business
centres and managed workspaces. It can then simultaneously assist as
many businesses as possible by removing their waste materials in regular
collections. In most cases this is done absolutely free of charge.

SR Recycling Managing Director, Simon Robinson says their Green Boxes
are the perfect solution where businesses are clustered together.

“Smaller businesses produce smaller amounts of waste on a regular basis,
which makes collecting it uneconomic and environmentally unsound. Our
Green Boxes mean a number of businesses in one place can easily dispose
of their waste; it’s a simple and effective idea that we believe will
work in business centres and managed workspaces,” said Simon Robinson.

It was only when SR Recycling dropped off the Green Box at The
Innovation Centre that UK Steel Enterprise realised that it had over
half a ton of waste material which could be collected immediately. Once
the waste was loaded, the Green Box was put in place, ready to use by
tenants. It will be collected and exchanged on a regular basis each time
it is full.

Innovation Centre Manager Allan Wood is convinced that SR Recycling’s
Green Box will be a big hit with the Centre’s tenants. “We have a strong
recycling ethic at The Innovation Centre, which is a key factor in
attracting businesses. This new facility will be of great benefit to our
tenants, complementing our existing recycling initiatives, helping to
set the benchmark as a forward thinking managed workspace,” said Allan
Wood

The Innovation Centre is home to 28 different companies employing over
140 people in a wide range of business activities and currently has
space for new tenants. It is also the regional base of UK Steel
Enterprise, which supports innovation and growth by providing finance to
businesses in former steel industry areas.
