    Update and Innovate your ‘Binfrastructure’

    Cleaning the UK’s streets of mostly avoidable litter costs the taxpayer almost £800million each year according to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

  • Container rental firm launched to offer a more flexible solution to sourcing high quality products

    A new business has been launched to provide all organisations, from private sector contractors to local authorities, the opportunity to rent high quality waste containers instead of buying them. Tamco, which stands for Taylor Asset Management Company, aims to lessen the upfront capital cost of purchasing waste containers and enable its customers to match container spend with income or usage.

  • Food, glorious food

    Food, glorious food

    The Christmas season is upon us. And whilst it represents a time for celebration, family and friendship, it’s often a time of high consumption when it comes to food. Not that long ago the only post-Christmas commitment we, as a society, had, was to use the New Year to get fit and lose what we might have gained during the festivities. However as society becomes more aware of its waste footprint I believe that we all have a responsibility to think about food waste, both in terms of minimising it where possible and ensuring that it is deposited in the…

    Bigbelly trial yields big results in Shipley The waste technology brand responsible for creating what has been referred to as ‘the world’s smartest bin’, Bigbelly, has continued its expansion across West Yorkshire following the successful trial of nine of its smart stations in Shipley in the City of Bradford. The trial, which saw Bigbelly’s 606-litre solar powered compacting units replace 34 100-litre bins, reduced the number of manual collections from 15,300 to only 285 between November 2015 and April 2016.
