Achieve sustainability excellence at your sites
What makes First Mile different?
Cleaning contractors are often the ones actually managing waste day to day, sorting it, moving it, and making sure it ends up in the right place, even though the contract sits with someone else. That makes good waste tracking and reporting essential, both for your own operations and for proving results to the clients you work for.
We partner with cleaning specialists like JPC by Samsic, helping them transform waste management across a high-profile portfolio including Chiswick Park and Here East. Using RecycleID and smart bin sensors, we’ve helped increase recycling rates, cut contamination and deliver measurable results that make it easier for tenants to do the right thing.
Find out how we can support your cleaning teams with a service that makes recycling simple and gives you the data to prove it.
What we do for cleaning companies
Flexible, reliable waste and recycling collections
Our service works around your cleaning schedules, not against them:
- Collections at times that fit your cleaning schedules, including overnight
- Zero-to-landfill guarantee and high recycling rates, with waste recovered at our own sorting facility
- Easily add the recycling streams your sites need, alongside core waste and recycling services
- Order one-off collections online whenever a site needs them, including same-day clearances
Efficiency projects that deliver lasting results
We take a data-driven approach to reducing complexity and improving recycling performance.
- Auditing waste output across the sites you manage to find opportunities to improve recycling rates
- Engagement programmes that help cleaning teams and building occupiers sort waste correctly, reducing contamination
Waste tracking to prove your results
RecycleID, our waste tracking solution, helps cleaning contractors demonstrate the value of their work.
- Track waste and recycling performance by site or area
- Use smart bin sensors to spot contamination early and act on it quickly
- Report clearly to the clients you work for, backed by real data

Our Recycling Data Studio and RecycleID turn the waste your teams handle into clear data you can share with clients.
- Recycling rates and carbon savings reported by site or across every contract
- Environmental conversions including Carbon WARM and Scope 3 Emissions reporting

Can First Mile support cleaning contractors managing multiple sites?
We work with cleaning companies like JPC by Samsic to provide consistent service and reporting across every site they manage, whatever the portfolio size.
How do you help us prove results to our clients?
Our RecycleID waste tracking and reporting suite gives you clear, real-time data on recycling rates and contamination by site, so you can show your clients exactly what’s being achieved.
Do bin sensors help reduce contamination?
Smart bin sensors flag contamination early, so your teams can act on it quickly rather than finding out after a load has already been rejected.
Is the service zero to landfill?
Yes. Any waste that can’t be recycled is processed for energy recovery, never sent to landfill.
Do you offer training for cleaning teams?
Yes. We provide on-site or multi-media training programmes to help cleaning teams sort waste correctly, improving recycling rates and reduce contamination.
