Recycle your hairdressing hair and metal waste with Green Salon Collective. This starter kit contains everything you need to start your recycling journey: bins, bags, marketing stickers, green fee strut and your first mini returns box.
This kit is perfect for freelancers, mobile hairdressers, wedding hairdressers and anyone who feels like the smaller size will be right for their businesses.
Our Salon Waste Recycling Program has no hidden fees, contracts, or monthly payments, and thanks to the Green Fee system, it is profitable for many of our members.
The returns box holds approx. 175 clients worth of waste.
Step 1: Buy your starter kit and get ready to recycle!
Step 2: Start charging your clients a small, optional £1 Green Fee to cover your recycling costs and promote your sustainable initiatives within the salon.
We recycle your waste hair in over 10 different ways, and any profit made from selling recycled aluminium goes to charity. We provide marketing and social media content to help communicate this with your clients.
Step 3: Collect your hair and metals waste separately, until your returns box is filled to the brim. Once its full you can request a collection here.
Step 4: Order a new returns box and keep the recycling going!

HOW IT WORKS
...for your FIRST TIME:
STEP 1
BUY STARTER KIT
Choose which waste streams you would like us to dispose of for you and then buy the appropriate starter kit. This will be sent out to you with or without a Return Box, depending on what you can afford. You will be automatically placed on our Member Locator and you can use our many physical and digital marketing material right away. You can now also start charging your customers the Green Fee.
STEP 2
FILL BINS WITH 'WASTE'
We provide you with designated bins to collect all of your chosen waste streams. Bins are lined with bags and when these fill up, simply place them in your Return Box if you have already purchased one. If you have not, you can purchase the Return Box after you have collected enough Green Fees to cover the cost and simply store your full bags wherever you are able.
STEP 3
SCHEDULE COLLECTION
Once your Return Box is full, you can contact us so we can agree on a date to pick it up for you. Purchase of the Return Box comes with this collection service so you will not need to pay any additional money at this point.
STEP 4
SET OUT RETURN BOX
Every business is different so for your first collection we will make sure we understand exactly where we need to be to pick up your Return Boxes. On the agreed date, simply set out your Return Box and our partner courier service will pick it up!
...once you're a MEMBER:
STEP 1
ORDER
a new Return Box and start filling it up with whatever recycling services you have signed on for. You may need to fill up your Return Box every two weeks or maybe every other day. It depends on the size of your business and how many waste streams you are sending to us!
returns boxesSTEP 2
SCHEDULE
a next-day collection. Your details will be saved in First Mile's system from when you ordered your first collection so from now on it will be super easy. A couple clicks and some tape and we do the rest. You don't even need to set out your Return Box. The First Mile team will collect it from wherever you like!
