FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
The Luton-based waste and recycling firm has won the recycling and waste management contract for Luton Rugby Football Club.
This announcement comes as at a time when spectators are flocking back to sporting events and waste levels are returning to normal levels. The club also hosts weddings and conferences and, as celebrations and gatherings of this type resume, this new relationship with Cawleys means that the waste generated at these events will also be recycled.
Cawleys is one of the few privately owned enterprises running its own Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) which will ensure that all general waste generated by the rugby club will be sorted and segregated to extract as many recyclables as possible. Cawleys will help the club maximise its recycling rates by collecting segregated card and plastics, as well as glass, using its specialist food and glass recycling lorry.
Commenting on the contract award, Anna Cawley, Head of Customer Services said: “It’s great to add another local sporting institution to our list of clients. With sporting and event attendance levels getting back to pre-pandemic levels, waste reduction and recycling is more important than ever. It’s vital that organisations keep up the good work that was done before the lockdowns and maintain momentum to work towards a carbon neutral and more environmentally friendly future. Our relationship with Luton Rugby Club is one that we truly value and we’re delighted to have been chosen as their recycling partner.”
