The Challenge
A busy retail centre needed more than a waste collector, it needed a partner
The Mall Maidstone is one of the South East’s established retail centres, serving thousands of shoppers daily across a diverse mix of fashion, food and leisure operators. Managing the waste generated across a site of this scale, from food court operators and restaurants to back-of-house retail operations, demands a reliable, efficient and environmentally responsible approach.
Countrystyle Recycling has delivered comprehensive waste and recycling services to The Mall for a number of years, building a long-standing relationship grounded in trust, operational reliability, and a shared commitment to reducing environmental impact.
"The Mall and Countrystyle Recycling share a long-standing partnership built on trust and sustainability, a reflection of our shared commitment to excellence, environmental responsibility, and lasting relationships."

The Approach
End-to-end waste management, built around the demands of a retail environment
Countrystyle provides The Mall with a fully managed, multi-stream waste solution covering general waste, dry mixed recyclables, cardboard bales, pallets, food waste, and specialist hazardous collections. All materials are routed to the most appropriate treatment facility to maximise diversion from landfill and in line with Simpler Recycling legislation that came into effect in 2025.
"Our partnership with The Mall Maidstone is built on more than reliable collections — it's built on a shared commitment to doing things the right way. Year on year, we've worked together to reduce environmental impact, improve diversion rates and deliver a service the centre can depend on."
