Environmental Policy

RGS Gardening Services intends to further enhance its existing rigorous operational regard for environmental responsibility.

The aim of our environmental systems is to ensure that, in a cost-effective manner, we meet the needs and expectations of our existing and future customers by providing and contributing to the health and well-being of our staff, customers, the wider community and the protection of the environment.

We recognise the need for working within economic constraints and regulatory requirements to demonstrate high standards of environmental care and operational performance in the controlled transfer and disposal of waste materials.

Environmental issues are of great concern to our staff, customers, suppliers and the community as a whole, and we are committed to continuous environmental improvement throughout all our business operations and activities.

RGS Gardening Services aims to:

  • Provide services to the required quality and environmental standards
  • Monitor environmental performance, environmental aspects and their impacts from a life-cycle perspective
  • Pursue the prevention of pollution and continuously improve the delivery of service to our customers
  • Meet all legal and regulatory obligations for the environment
  • Ensure that appropriate training is provided in the environmental aspects of our activities and operations
  • Ensure the safe and environmentally acceptable disposal of wastes from our operations by way of approved and secure disposal options
  • Recycle and use recycled materials wherever possible
  • Ensure that environmental issues are considered at an early stage in the planning of new projects
  • Adhere to company procedures relevant to environmental issues and control
  • Ensure that this policy is supported with adequate resources and reviewed at regular intervals
  • Recycle 100% of the green waste we produce into a reusable material (soil or wood chip)
  • Ensure hedges and trees are checked so as to never disturb live nests during the nesting season
