Co-Armagh based firm, Envirogreen Recycling is urging Irish companies to re-evaluate their waste costs in an effort to reduce their outgoings and remain competitive.

The company recently undertook a survey with over a 100 small, medium and large enterprises throughout Ireland, finding that nearly 35% of companies across the island were paying significant waste disposal costs with skips and bins, even though the materials contained with these receptacles such as cardboard and plastic were of considerable monetary value.

According to the firm's Managing Director, Conor Guy Irish firms are not being made aware of the value of their recyclables by the waste companies as they would prefer their customers to pay for expensive skips and bins, well, in actual fact the waste company should be paying their customers for the materials.

Operations Manager, Mark Sheridan has asked Irish companies to contact recyclers to substantially reduce their waste costs.

"We provide a free waste analysis for every new client that contacts us," said Mr Sheridan.

"The client usually finds it remarkable how much they save on their waste costs by selling their recyclables to us, rather than paying to get rid of them."
