Reduce My Costs

22/10/2026

At Reduce My Costs, caring for our customers is one of our core values - which is why we're dedicated to putting them first. When one of our customers faced issues with their new metering contracts, we took the opportunity to put our values into action. 💜

📑 When one of our customers, a solicitors, took over an additional meter, we arranged competitive rates, managed the Change of Tenancy, and set up new contracts. But a gap between contracts meant they were unexpectedly hit with deemed rates from their old supplier - and even faced a debt collector despite never being contacted about the charges.

💭 Our customer care team stepped in straight away, dealing directly with the supplier and the debt collector on the client’s behalf. To protect them from further action, we advised on a temporary payment while we pushed for answers. After escalating the complaint, the supplier admitted fault and issued a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience caused.

🤝 By managing contracts transparently and supporting customers through challenges, we build lasting trust and ensure they continue to benefit from savings in the future.

World Mental Health Day 2026 💜

At Reduce My Costs, we understand that stress can be a big concern for business owners and their teams, and that goes far beyond finances.

This World Mental Health Day, we want to remind you that taking care of your mental well-being is key to a healthy and thriving business. Here are a few simple tips for you and your team:

📢 Talk it out. Reach out to a colleague, a trusted friend, or a professional. Simply having a conversation can make a world of difference.

📖 Journal your thoughts. Taking a few minutes to write down what's on your mind can help process stress and bring clarity.

⏰ Take a break. Step away from your desk. A short walk, some fresh air, or even just five minutes of quiet time can help reset your mind.

⚖️ Prioritise a work-life balance. Creating boundaries is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength. Encourage yourself and your team to log off and recharge.

You are not alone. There is support available to help you and your employees.

What is a Waste Transfer Note? 📝

A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is a legal document that records the transfer of waste from your business to a registered waste carrier. It’s more than just a form – it’s proof that your business manages waste safely, responsibly, and in line with the law.

How Do WTNs Work in Practice?
➡️ Ongoing Collections – Your waste provider will issue a WTN covering regular bin or waste collection services.

➡️ Ad-hoc Removals – When disposing of old stock, furniture, or equipment, you’ll need a new WTN for each occasion.

➡️ Keep Your Records – WTNs must be stored for a minimum of two years and made available if requested by the Environment Agency.

Why Are WTNs Important for Businesses?
✔️ Stay Compliant – Every business producing waste must have WTNs in place as required by industry regulations.

✔️ Demonstrate Responsibility – WTNs show that your business has managed waste responsibly and met its legal obligations.

✔️ Promote Sustainability – Tracking waste through WTNs supports greener, more efficient business practices.

At Reduce My Costs, we take the hassle out of compliance. We handle your Waste Transfer Notes on your behalf – all you need to do is sign. ✍️

💌 Contact us at [email protected] and let’s make waste management one less thing for your business to worry about.

Is your business prepared for Simpler Recycling 2027? 🤔

📆 From 31 March 2027, micro-businesses in England with fewer than 10 full-time equivalent employees will need to comply with Simpler Recycling regulations.

This means separating:

🍎 Food waste
♻️ Dry recyclable materials
🗑️ General waste

It doesn’t matter how much or how little food waste your business produces. Whether it’s leftover lunches, tea bags and coffee grounds or larger quantities from serving food to customers, it must be separated from general waste and recycling. ✅

⏰ While March 2027 might feel a while away, it’s worth preparing early. The last Simpler Recycling rollout led to increased demand and delays in getting collections set up, so leaving it too late could put your business at risk of non-compliance and potential fines.

Reduce My Costs can help you understand the regulations, review your current waste arrangements and put the right collections in place well ahead of the deadline. Get in touch today for advice, support and your next steps. https://reducemycosts.co.uk/contact-us/ 📞
