SMALL and Medium Sized Enterprises companies in the North-west now have the benefit of their own recycling adviser, thanks to the Waste and Resources Action programme's Recycle At Work Advisory Programme.

Neill Gatley has been appointed to the new post of Recycle at Work Adviser, one of the first three advisers to be appointed in England.

He will provide one-to-one support to SMEs to help them recycle more materials by finding appropriate recycling services, assessing what can be recycled and developing in-house recycling schemes.
