New recycling contract in Harefield

Blue Sky is delighted to be starting a new recycling contract in Harefield with the London Borough of Hillingdon. Their work will increase recycling and reduce landfill

The team is working on a series of waste management tasks - primarily sorting the rubbish from domestic and commercial recycling bins - separating the wood from the plastics and so on.

"It's challenging work for the team but we hope it will lead to more opportunities for us to work in all areas of recycling," said Frank Hough, Blue Sky's Employment Liaison Manager. "It's an opportunity for Blue Sky to help the environment and to offer more work to our team members."

Blue Sky welcomes this recycling contract with the London Borough of Hillingdon and hopes it will be the first of many.

England and Wales release 90,000 prisoners each year; 60% of prisoners re-offend within 2 years.            Re-offending costs England and Wales £12 billion each year.            Employment reduces re-offending by 33-50% but 75% of ex-offenders have no job on release.
