NWAS staff collect more than 1.18 tonnes of plastic in 10-week challenge
North West Ambulance Service says colleagues beat a workplace recycling target after gathering more than 1.18 tonnes of plastic in 10 weeks, with collection points set up across several sites and community litter picks among the activities involved.
The North West Ambulance Service says staff have exceeded an environmental challenge target by collecting more than 1,180kg of plastic in 10 weeks. The campaign began in July and included collections from parks, streets and other public spaces, plus organised recycling efforts at several NWAS locations.
The trust says the challenge involved staff from different teams and sites, with dedicated collection points and support from waste contractor SUEZ. It says the effort removed plastic from communities and encouraged colleagues to think about everyday ways to reduce waste.
