The European Landfill Directive recommends that by 2005 25% of waste collected by local authorities be recycled. With many landfill sites becoming increasingly more uneconomic, recycling is a necessity.

As well as receiving green waste from public and private contractors Jack Moody Limited currently has contracts with the following local authorities for the recycling of green waste. A number of local authorities operate green waste kerbside collection scheme while others use civic amenity sites and collection sites.

• Birmingham City Council
• Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council
• Lichfield District Council
• Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
• Stafford Borough Council
• South Staffs Borough Council
• Walsall Borough Council
• Wolverhampton City Council

sourced through kerbside collections and civic amenity sites.

Recognised for our excellent production processes and end product quality, we are ideally placed to help local authorities to increase their level of recycling. Our range of composts and inert recycled products are perfect for use in local authority projects, thereby completing the recycling loop.

A key element of the success of green waste recycling for Jack Moody limited has been the educational support we are able to provide. A number of initiatives have been undertaken, for example:

• Marketing material for local authorities
• Product samples
• Site visits/Open Days for LA’s, Schools, government departments etc.
• Partnering arrangements to offer sustainable waste management
