Kenny Waste Management News

They did it! A bunch of brave fundraisers from the Kenny Waste Management team took on a tough obstacle course, and beat it!

Do you have a driving ambition? If you’re considering a career behind the wheel, here’s a bit more about driving for us at Kenny Waste Management – from someone who really knows.

There’s no easy one-size-fits-all calculation to come up with a carbon emissions figure for your company’s waste. In order to come up with a final carbon emissions total, you need to know your waste streams, the weight of each stream, and what happens to it after it’s been collected from your site.

We’ve recently started working in partnership with the fantastic Cheshire Wildlife Trust, and have so much respect for the incredible work they do to preserve and protect our natural heritage.

At Kenny Waste Management, the team has been busy fundraising for our 2019 charities – and there are more ways to donate than giving money, as they’ve been finding out…

On Sunday, one of the local projects close to our hearts will get the chance to showcase its fantastic work on national television. BBC1’s Countryfile visited the Create For Nature project in Cheshire, which Kenny Waste Management has been supporting. We wrote about Create for Nature’s innovative approach to sustainable fundraising in our blog last month. It’s a truly original way of diverting wood waste from landfill! Sam Salisbury from Cheshire Wildlife Trust came up with a creative way to raise money: making and selling bespoke wooden furniture made from waste products. The Trust converted an old cattle shed in Bickley Hall Farm, and there was soon a team of volunteer furniture makers in place. They create the most beautiful, unique furniture which is sold through Etsy.

It’s time to get out the spades. On 6 March, a team of five eager volunteers from Kenny Waste Management will be helping the Woodland Trust plant trees in the Trust’s Smithills Estate near Bolton.

The last few weeks have been a sad time for us at Kenny Waste Management. One of our drivers Graham Houghton, sadly passed away last month.

Each year at Kenny Waste Management, we choose one or two local charities to support. This year we’re getting behind two fantastic Manchester-based organisations: The Christie charity and Tackle4MCR.

Kenny Waste Management has been invited to write for the Parliamentary Review, an independent publication that promotes best practice and knowledge engagement within industries. It’s a great honour to be one of the few organisations invited to contribute to the Review, and an excellent opportunity to share our expertise.
