RecycleID™

Core Features

RecycleID™ is built around a digital waste-tracking process in which QR-coded sacks are scanned and weighed at collection points before being linked to a specific tenant, store, or operational area. It provides the following features.

• Tenant-Level Waste Tracking – Attributes every kilogram of waste to a specific tenant, store, department, or building area, creating a clear record of waste generation and recycling performance across shared facilities.

• QR-Coded Waste Identification – Uses uniquely coded sacks and mobile scanning to create a digital record for each waste movement, linking waste data to the correct occupier or location at the point of collection.

• Real-Time Reporting Dashboard – Provides live visibility into waste volumes, recycling rates, contamination levels, and disposal patterns, helping managers identify trends and respond quickly to issues.

• Pay-As-You-Throw Charging – Supports waste charging based on actual usage rather than estimated allocations, enabling fairer cost distribution among tenants and occupiers.

• Systems and Device Integration – Connects with technologies including Weightron, Recycleye, and Method Bin, bringing together waste, weighing, and material-recognition data within a single reporting environment.

Closing Insights

RecycleID™ forms part of First Mile's broader strategy to combine waste-management services with digital data tools that support sustainability reporting, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. The platform reflects growing demand from commercial property owners and facilities managers for more granular waste data, particularly in buildings where multiple tenants share waste infrastructure but require separate reporting and accountability.

A notable deployment is at 40 Leadenhall, a major London office development. RecycleID™ was implemented to support multiple occupiers with different waste requirements while maintaining consistent recycling performance and accreditation standards. According to First Mile, the building achieved a 73% recycling rate from launch, operated six recycling streams, met Simpler Recycling requirements, and achieved SMART Buildings accreditation.

What differentiates RecycleID™ is its combination of digital waste tracking with First Mile's operational waste expertise. The platform supports real-time waste reporting, tenant-level accountability, verified Scope 3 emissions data, and preparation for forthcoming UK digital waste-tracking requirements. Pricing is available on a quotation basis and is designed to be comparable with First Mile's standard sack-based waste services. The platform is accompanied by implementation support, training, and ongoing waste-management expertise from the First Mile team.
