SMI Recycling Scheme Booklet - Flipbook - Page 19
To prioritise the safety of our workforce on the ground, we must uphold our duty of care. As such,
we kindly request the following.
SMI: DIVERT FROM EARTH
THE DO’S AND DON’TS
Do’s
• Wash your garments before recycling them.
• Separate any dirty or oil stained/chemically
contaminated boots, gloves, products etc from the
clean items.
• Order one of our SMI recycling boxes! Recycling will
only be processed if it arrives in our SMI recycling
boxes.
Don’ts
• Do not over昀椀ll the boxes. Any boxes that have split run the
risk of becoming contaminated and SMI reserve the right to
return or not process these garments for recycling.
• Mix dirty or contaminated products with clean textiles.
• Forget to add your sales order reference number to your
recycling box before it’s collected!
Items that you can recycle:
• Boots (clean)
• Hard hats
• Garments (clean) hi-vis and non hi-vis
• Gloves (clean)
• Ear defenders
Need Specialist Support?
In addition to standard uniform recycling,
SMI can provide tailored solutions for the
removal of contaminated or specialist
waste, including:
• Hazardous or oil-contaminated workwear
• Asbestos-exposed clothing (with proper
containment)
• Items exposed to radioactive/nuclear
contamination (managed under strict
compliance and safety protocols)
If your site includes regulated waste
streams, our team can coordinate uplift and
disposal through certi昀椀ed waste partners,
ensuring full legal and environmental
compliance.
