About this employer

In October 2020, a group of passionate individuals came together with a shared vision to make a positive impact on the environment. Priamo and James, driven by their deep concern for the service levels in waste management, approached Nick and Simon, two experts in facilities management, with an innovative idea to create a recycling company like no other. Fast-forward to July 2022, after nearly 2 years of planning and hard work, So Greene was born. So Greene started its journey with just two vehicles based in Slough, but its mission was clear: to revolutionize the recycling industry by putting service at the heart of everything they do. With a strong commitment to sustainability and a desire to make a difference, the team at So Greene set out to provide exceptional recycling solutions to individuals and businesses alike. As word spread about our unique approach and dedication to customer satisfaction, So Greene quickly gained momentum. The demand for our services grew rapidly, leading to the need for expansion. Relocating to the vibrant town of Chertsey, So Greene established a new headquarters and expanded our fleet to six vehicles, ensuring efficient and reliable recycling services for our ever-growing customer base. But the journey didn't stop there. Recognizing the need for specialized recycling services, So Greene recently introduced a brand new food and glass service. This addition further solidified our commitment to offering comprehensive recycling solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our customers. Throughout our journey, So Greene has remained true to our core values of sustainability, innovation, and exceptional service. We have become a trusted partner for individuals and businesses seeking environmentally-friendly waste management solutions. Our dedication to making a positive impact on the industry has earned them recognition as a true service bench marker.
