The challenge: Waste collections that weren’t working

Situated on Liverpool’s waterfront, The Keel has a rich history.

Originally built in 1785 and was the former HM Revenue and Customs building, it underwent a £30m conversion in 2015, becoming the UK’s first privately funded Build to Rent (BTR) scheme. By 2018, it had become the first stabilised BTR scheme to trade purchased for £46.75m.

Today, it is a large residential development home to over 450 residents. 

When Allsop Letting & Management took over the management of The Keel in 2020, waste management quickly became a major problem. 

Before partnering with LITTA, managing waste was a slow, inefficient and a frustrating process, leading to several key issues:

• Overflowing bulky waste, particularly when residents moved out 
• Slow, unreliable contractors leading to delays and scheduling frustrations 
• Hidden costs and unclear pricing, making cost management unpredictable
• Too much admin, with hours lost coordinating collections
• Lack of ESG tracking, preventing accurate sustainability reporting

"We were wasting time, money, and effort on something that should have been simple."

Committed to sustainability and ESG goals, Allsop sought a waste partner that was professional, dependable, easy to work with, and transparent on costs.

That’s where LITTA came in.

The Keel Management often has a large volume of bulky items to remove, and had been let down by previous contractors.
