Less Landfill = Leicester Jobs Boost

Today Bakers Waste Services are able to announce a £250,000 investment that will reduce the amount of waste going into Leicestershire’s landfill and create up to 12 new jobs at its new Enderby waste recycling facility.

As part of its strategy to reduce to 0% the amount of waste it sends to Leicestershire’s landfill sites, Bakers Waste Services has started a £250,000 investment in its new Enderby waste recycling facility, which will come online in November 2011.

This investment will enable Bakers Waste to divert an additional 6 waste streams from landfill to recycling instead. This will bring the total amount of waste that we recycle to 95%. 6 new jobs will be created in November, with the number of jobs anticipated to rise to 12 sometime after.

Managing Director, Paul Baker, said,

“This is another example of our commitment to reduce landfill by increasing waste recycling. Its also a clear statement of our continued investment and expansion, with all the benefits it brings to the local jobs market.”

With landfill taxes set to rise sharply in the near future, this investment is also good news to Bakers Waste Services’ customers, helping to shield them from the rising costs of waste disposal.

If you would like to talk to us about reducing your waste management costs, please call Judith Hollingworth, our Business Development Manger, on 0370 350 6 350 today.

Colwick Hall Hotel Improves Recycling

Colwick Hall Hotel joins Bakers Waste Services to increase their recycling rates and reduce their landfill costs.

As part of our drive towards 0% landfill in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, Bakers Waste Services are trialling various new technologies to reduce waste disposal and increase waste recycling. These technologies include:

• residual waste to energy
• anaerobic digestion.

Residual Waste To Energy

Residual waste is waste that cannot usually be recycled - including household rubbish, agricultural and industrial waste. Using processes such as Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT), this residual waste is first treated to recover as much recyclable material as possible. The remaining waste is then converted to energy (usually electricity) using one of several processes.

Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic digestion is the process in which microorganisms breakdown biodegradable materials, during which bio-gas can be captured and used for energy. The heat generated by the process of anaerobic digestion can also be used as a source of electricity.

Reducing Waste Landfill in Leicestershire

By trialling these new processes Bakers Waste Services is in the vanguard of efforts to improve recycling and reduce landfill in Leicestershire. With the prospect of further increases in Landfill Taxes, Bakers Waste Services are also helping local Leicestershire companies reduce their costs.

For more information on how we can help you reduce your costs, contact us today on 0370 350 6 350.

Waste Carriers Licence

Most businesses that transport waste or arrange the disposal or recovery of waste for others must be registered with the Environment Agency. Our licence, along with other statutory documents, is available to view here.

It is also a company's "duty of care" to ensure that their waste is collected and disposed of by an "Authorised waste removal contractor". This underlines the imortance that operations managers conduct due dilligence of their waste contractors.
