Lampton Services celebrates commercial recycling milestone on global recycling day

Lampton Services is celebrating a milestone in the growth of its Commercial Recycling and Waste Collection Service ahead of Global Recycling Day (18 March). Launched in July 2022, the Commercial Waste Service has more than doubled its customer base in the past year, surpassing 175 customers. Meanwhile, the service has increased its number of collection points by 93% over the past 12 months.

Lampton Services has diverted more than 1,000 tonnes of recycling and waste from landfill through its Commercial Waste function since it launched almost two years ago, supporting Hounslow’s business community in reducing the carbon impact of their waste and recycling. To deliver further carbon savings, the Commercial Waste team transitioned its collection truck from diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in June last year, driving down carbon emissions by 90%.

Ash Buttress, Head of Commercial Recycling and Waste at Lampton Services, said: “Nearly two years on since launch, we are delighted to celebrate another milestone for our Commercial Waste Service as we surpass 175 customers. This rapid growth is a testament to the service our team provides to Hounslow’s businesses, supporting our customers in their sustainability journeys. We are focused on continuing to expand our Commercial Waste offering to deliver greater carbon savings across the borough.”

Councillor Guy Lambert, Hounslow Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways, Recycling, and Health Integration, said: “As a Council we are pleased with the performance of Lampton Group’s Commercial Waste Service since its launch.

“Aside from the capacity to deliver financial benefits for both local businesses and the Council, it is also gradually improving our streets, particularly in retail areas. It is also a shining example of the enthusiasm from our elected members, as well as opposition, to deliver a win-win outcome where we have cleaner streets in the borough, better recycling, and properly paid collection teams. I hope to see this Service growing even faster over the coming months.”

Part of Lampton Services Recycle, which operates recycling services on behalf of Hounslow Council, the Commercial Waste team provides high-quality, reliable, and competitively priced recycling and waste collection to local businesses. The Commercial Waste team services all sectors in the local area, from Hounslow House and the borough’s libraries and leisure centers to local high streets, including shops, beauty salons, restaurants, and shopping centers.
