It’s rubbish and it really works

THE company behind the city centre Business Improvement District has launched a scheme designed to help its levy-payers save money.

Essential Edinburgh’s Zero-2-Landfill plan will see businesses save on the cost of having their trade waste collected – and will bring a number of other significant benefits.

Andy Neal, chief executive of Essential Edinburgh, said it had carried out an extensive procurement exercise, before appointing Shanks Waste Management to look after trade waste.

He said: “We have been able to negotiate substantial savings for waste streams.”
