16 June 2005 - Free Advertising for Waste
Management Companies
Navigation
A directory set up by the Environment Agency on behalf of the
Agricultural Waste Stakeholders’ Forum, is now offering all waste management
companies in the UK the chance of free advertising on a new online recycling
directory. The directory was originally developed to help farmers
identify sites that could take their wastes.
The Environment Agency is encouraging waste management companies
to register their services for free on the new directory which will be launched
later this summer. The new service will make it easier for waste
producers to quickly find their nearest option for recycling, treating or
disposing of their waste.
Liz Parkes, Head of Waste Regulation at the Environment Agency
commented:
“This new directory is great news for everyone. Not only will
it make it easier for people who produce waste to find the nearest place to
recycle it, but also offers waste management companies the chance to advertise
their services free to a wide audience over the internet.
“All they need to do is log on and register. It only takes a couple of minutes
and it can only help your business.”
Sue Ellis, Chairman of the Agricultural Waste Stakeholders’ Forum and Head of
Waste Management at Defra also commented:
“With the new agricultural waste controls coming into
force later this year, this directory will be a key tool for farmers and growers
who will need to comply with the changes.”
“This is a web-based directory and will be available for every farmer and grower
who has access to the web. Those farmers who do not have web access will be able
to contact the Environment Agency’s National Customer Contact Centre, who will
be able to carry out searches on their behalf."
Steve Lee, Chief Executive of Chartered Institution of Wastes
Management’s (CIWM):
“This tool is good news for farmers and waste managers alike.
We urge waste service providers to register their details and for the farming
community, and wider waste industry, to make full use of it. We look forward to
working with the Environment Agency to get the best out of the Directory.”
