Weir & Carmichael win large order for Kerbside Bags for Cornwall County Council

March 14, 2012 - PRLog -- The bags are to be used for the collection of cardboard and paper and are part of an 8 year contract which is expected to save the Authority over £3m per annum. The new County Council was formed from the merger of 6 District Councils, half of whom were previously using disposable recycling bags, whilst 3 others had varying recycling systems.

Weir & Carmichael, Managing Director, Barrie Williams commented “ We’re delighted to have won such a substantial contract and are pleased to be working alongside Cornwall County Council. We have seen great success with our kerbside collection range and are confident that our bespoke recycling solutions will help us to continue to thrive in the coming year”

Weir & Carmichael offer a wide range of kerbside collection products including cost effective recycling sacks suitable for glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and green garden waste. Bags are made from robust woven polypropylene that can be re-used many times and are ideal for hard to access areas where bins may not be suitable or space is limited.

Established in 1955, Weir & Carmichael are a family run and owned business specialising in industrial packaging and recycling solutions based in Merseyside. Since their diversification into the recycling sector over a decade ago, the business has grew from strength to strength successfully managing many orders for local authorities and privatised waste companies.
