“It’s great to have the Cardboard Recycling Stickers for our bundles of card too large for the regular sacks, and Flexible Plastics Recycling sacks for all the bubble wrap that we previously had no option but to send to waste. The guidance on the First Mile website about how to recycle right is super helpful too!” ~ Emily, Rebecca Hossack Gallery
