Development news on Kent Street, Preston

Recycling Lives is to be built on the site of the now vacated Kedder Training Agency on Kent Street in Preston city centre. The new construction due to finish in December 2008 will provide a much needed redevelopment to the area.

Running parallel to Essex Street and Great Hanover Street formerly Sussex Street is the site for the first Recycling Lives centre. Many years ago Sussex Street was flattened and replaced by a series of faceless business units, one of which became home to Kedder. In the near future, sitting proud in place of the old agency, will be the new multi-million pound Recycling Lives facility which will unquestionably prove to be an economic catalyst for future regeneration of this part of the city.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
