ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY TALKS

Residents are being invited to a series of talks to learn how to waste less and recycle more.

Waste experts at the award-winning Biffa BDR plant at Manvers, which deals with non-recyclable household waste from 345,000 homes in the area, are hosting talks on textiles, electricals and food.

The talks, lasting around 90 minutes, will be delivered in the BDR Visitor Centre.

The BDR Manvers facility handles up to 250,000 tonnes of waste a year. Instead of being sent to landfill, over 97% of the waste is processed to make fuel or electricity.

Abi Reid, Biffa’s Community Education Liaison Officer at Manvers, said: “We are always keen to encourage residents to get involved with our work at Manvers and have been delighted with the great success of the site visits we offer at the site.

“Our outreach work has also seen us delivering talks to larger groups out in the community. We now want to offer the opportunity for individuals or small groups to come, meet with us and participate in these as well.

“We hope the community talks will further strengthen these positive relationships and offer people the opportunity to come to Manvers and find out a bit more about what we do and how we can all help to reduce the amount of waste we produce.”
