Cumbria Waste Group

It was great to recently welcome the team from The Cumberland to our MRF 2 facility at Hespin Wood, Carlisle! ♻️

It’s always fantastic to connect with local partners who share our same commitment to sustainability. We took them behind the scenes to show exactly how we process recycling materials here at Hespin Wood, turning everyday waste into valuable resources.

A big thank you to the Cumberland team for taking the time to visit and for their genuine interest in the environmental work we do! 🌍🤝

Where others see waste, we see potential. ♻️

Our Materials Recycling Facility is working harder than ever to separate domestic and commercial recyclables into their separate, unique commodities 🔄

We’ve already processed thousands of tonnes of glass, cans and plastics this year alone. It’s all part of our commitment to a Circular Economy and a more Sustainable Future for our local area.

We thought we would share a feel-good story we recently received about our hard working operatives Dawid and Daniel while they were emptying the bins at Whinfell Forest - Center Parcs UK 🌳
