44 Tonnes not dumped

There's a great deal of talk about how we all get a handle on being more environmentally aware. One of my personal bugbears is the amount of material we throw away as it invariably ends up dumped in some landfill site!

BBC Workplace recorded a good start to the year in this respect because we decided to do something different. When clearing out a building in central London which is now surplus to requirements we accumulated a mountain of kit weighing 44 tonnes! Rather than calling for a convoy of skips we worked with our supply chain to re-use the material or recycle it.
