"It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish."

— J.R.R. Tolkien

We are pulling together the strands for the initial phase of our green policy. On Saturday we are presenting a large private funfair for a corporate client in the North East. In readiness for this we have a number of different recycling bins and the first of our new recycling stations. The station is almost finished, it would have been ready, but in conjunction with our green initiative we have also decided to publicise the upcoming Keep Britain Tidy campaign which is focusing on reducing cigerettes that are thrown on the ground. To this end we have ordered some wall mounted cigerette bins which will be mounted on the front of the recycling stations along with posters advertising the campaign.

In keeping with our green policy we have managed to build the recycling stations out of around 80% recycled materials, mainly steel which has been recovered from side stalls that we no longer use.

The catering units operating at this launch event have been stocked up with biodegradable plates, cups, napkins and utensils. Our microbial waste digester hasn't been delivered yet but hopefully that will be here this week.

We have also begun implementation of DEFRA's voluntary code of practice for waste from mobile food units., and signed up with the Green Achiever scheme where we have committed to reducing our waste and energy requirements.
