Waste firm expansion creates jobs
vendredi, 16 octobre 2009
A thriving Bradford waste management company is looking to fill 10 new jobs at its recycling facility after expanding operations at the site.
Associated Waste Management's pioneering £3 million recycling plant, which opened last year on Canal Road in the city, is the first of its kind in the UK and the company has now added a sorting system to recover paper and plastic.
Paper, cardboard and plastic film were previously not removed from the waste, but just sent to landfill sites as they were not profitable enough.
Now, due to the efficiencies the new production line brings, these items will be removed and sold on for profit.
AWM provides waste management and recycling to about 2,000 companies throughout West and North Yorkshire and on the M62 corridor between Halifax and Selby.
The company, which was formed in 2000 by John Brooksbank, has trebled in size in the past three years from 35 employees to more than 120.
