Recently launching a new waste minimisation campaign, Simple Swaps, B&M are advocates for the removal of unnecessary single-use items and waste.
Having run over 100 marathons, including Chester, and many of which for charity, Darrin Percy, of B&M Waste said: “As a Carbon Neutral company that actively avoid sending any waste to landfill, this partnership seemed to fit perfectly with our company values. We are thrilled to be working with Chester Marathon in recycling all plastic bottles produced as waste during the run.”
Andy White, Race Director at Chester Marathon, said: “We’re pleased to be working with B&M Waste Services at our events this year, using their recycling solutions to ensure that water bottles used by the runners are recycled in as sustainable a way as possible. Chester has Plastic Free City status and we are keen to support this by ensuring plastic bottles used by runners are recycled rather than ending up in incinerators or landfill.”
