Case Study: Wigan and Leigh College achieves 98% waste diverted from landfill with B&M Waste

Wigan and Leigh College - Customer Case Study

Wigan and Leigh College, a further and higher education college operating across six sites in Greater Manchester, needed a comprehensive waste strategy and recycling solution to support 12,000 students and 400 staff. B&M Waste was brought in through a successful tender to help address mixed, food, general, confidential, and construction waste across the campus.

B&M Waste implemented an innovative recycling and waste management program, including internal recycling bins, clearly signed waste collection areas, staff training, confidential waste destruction, and construction waste handling. As a result, Wigan and Leigh College achieved a 98% diversion of waste from landfill, along with improved reporting and clear environmental insights from B&M Waste.
