Carbon Neutral Biggar was set up with the aim of reducing Biggar’s carbon footprint. As a member of the Biggar community we joined the volunteer group to find out if there were ways in which our company could help with waste recycling.
We provided technical expertise and support for a feasibility study carried out by Carbon Neutral, funded by the National Lottery Fund. The aim of the study was to gather information from local businesses to find out how much waste was generated locally. Over 100 businesses participated and we were able to identify the differing types of waste streams and tonnages involved in organising a commercial kerb-side collection. Statistics and quantities of waste were documented and printed providing feedback to everyone that participated.
The community has an enormous amount of enthusiasm for recycling and we were pleased to be able to help.
