Visitors, shoppers and traders alike are set to benefit from a new scheme aiming to reduce waste from King’s Lynn going to landfill, thanks to a new partnership between Discover King’s Lynn and our waste division, Anglian Waste Recycling.

A new five-year partnership

Anglian Recycling is one of East Anglia’s fastest-growing waste management companies and recycling facilities. We are proud to have beaten off stiff competition from a range of national suppliers to become the new waste and recycling partner for Business Improvement District (BID) Discover King’s Lynn over the next five years – which was secured as part of a tender application in partnership with the Norwich BID.

Vicky Etheridge, BID Manager for Discover King’s Lynn said: “We are so excited to be working with Anglian to help reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill from the BID area. This will give business owners in the area the chance to get a personalised waste audit and responsibly manage their waste. We’re thrilled to be partnering up for this exciting sustainability project.”

Waste data to be collected for the first time

Businesses that are based in the BID area will have the option of using the waste management services provided by Anglian, which include free waste management audits and waste collections that will be processed at our licensed 10-acre site in Norfolk. 

And for the first time, Anglian and Discover King’s Lynn will also be recording data on how much waste is being collected and recycled in the BID area, which will enable the team to benchmark significant reductions in future years. 

Ryan Marshall, Senior Environmental & Waste Manager at Anglian Recycling, who has previously worked in waste management for Chantry Place and Don’t Waste, is spearheading the work with Discover King’s Lynn. 

He said: “I am particularly passionate about the waste data we are set to capture from our partnership over the next five years. This will allow us to reduce waste across King’s Lynn, increase recycling performances and provide detailed reports on the progress. Our mission is to responsibly dispose of waste collected from customers and help them reach a zero-to-landfill goal, so to see that happen as we benchmark will be fantastic. 

“We offer regular environmental audits to clients, where we can analyse their waste data against their waste targets and identify areas to help them achieve goals to combat environmental change. This is a huge benefit for BID members, and one we hope they will take full advantage of.”

Committed to a greener future

Lee Storer, Managing Director of Anglian, added: “Anglian has been associated with the waste sector for over 14 years due to the nature of our industry and services. Over the last four years we have developed a standalone waste division to provide a full waste management service to our customers. Environmental sustainability is a crucial element of any good waste management programme. As well as being able to make a real difference to the environment in the county in which we live and work, winning the contract will also ensure employment opportunities in this sector stay in Norfolk. It is a great opportunity for all involved.”
