Copes with cardboard

To help manage waste from its catering and retail operations more effectively, The Snowcentre, in Hemel Hempstead, has installed a baler supplied by recycling specialist, Greenbank.

Since it was installed in January, the centre has seen a 50% reduction in the amount of waste that is put into its bins and collections have gone down from three times a week to once every three weeks for the baled cardboard.

"Now we have the baler it is not only very easy for staff to dispose of any cardboard as they don't even have to fold it, the bin area is also incredibly tidy!" said Keith Griffin, commercial manager of The Snowcentre.

Griffin has also been impressed by the service he has received from Greenbank.
