Licensees in Nottingham city centre are being given the opportunity to increase their environmental credentials and cut waste costs through a new initiative.

We Are Nottingham Leisure, the business improvement district (BID) for licensed premises in the city centre, has launched a new waste collection service, which offers licensees a reduced rate for general waste collection via the local council as well as a new recycling collection.

We Are Nottingham Leisure’s chief executive Sylvia Oates said: “We’ve found that many existing business waste collection services in the city centre offer nothing at all in terms of recycling.

“This means that waste that could potentially be recycled is simply being binned alongside general waste and is then sent to landfill. With so much emphasis on environmental impact and greener businesses, this is quite shocking. Couple this with relatively high costs, and it’s clear that our businesses really haven’t been getting a great deal.”
