Supporting, Inspiring, Employing

Supporting

Recycling Lives provide quality en-suite accommodation and a comfortable environment in which to live and socialise.  We offer food and clothing and pastoral care to enable a variety of differing people to adjust and to feel at home.  We encourage life skills and integration and we help people to believe in themselves and in others.

Inspiring

At Recycling Lives we enable our residents and employees to become the inspiration to newcomers to our way of life, because there is no better inspiration to a person in need than people that have ‘been there’ themselves.  This method of inspiration extends into every aspect of Recycling Lives, from a resident entering into a new stage in their life to new business start ups that will find themselves in the company of established commercial veterans.

Employing

Recycling Lives offers a wide range of jobs to suit everyone within our established recycling business and opportunities to develop skills and qualifications are constantly available.  Jobs range from low skilled activities such as separating green glass from clear, to operating machinery and managing people.  We also encourage new businesses occupying our incubator units, to recruit Recycling Lives residents whenever a suitable candidate exists to fill a job vacancy.  This expands the vocational opportunities outside of recycling and into a multitude of differing roles.

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.
