Less than a week to go until the Collection Conference

Celebrating its fifth anniversary, letsrecycle.com’s one-day London Conference will take place in the luxurious sky suite at the British Motor Museum in Warwick.

It comes at a vital time for the industry, which is on the brink of the largest changes to legislation in a generation when rules around consistent collections are rolled out.

Presentations on the day will include updates from WRAP, Resource Futures and many more, with an opportunity to ask questions and network too.

Also discussed will be the sector outlook, the impact of contamination and consistency as well as service changes and vehicle developments.

The sessions will also explore a number of case studies from across London and beyond, on topics such as collection software, fortnightly service changes and food waste collections to enable visitors to learn best practice.

Additionally, there will be plenty of time for Q&A, knowledge sharing and networking.

Limited final tickets are available for £250 plus VAT and £160 plus VAT for local authorities. To view the full programme and secure your ticket click here.

Sponsors include Bartec, B&M Waste Services, CMS Supatrak, Hillend Engineering Group, Romaquip, Terberg Matec UK, Metrostor, Peter Ridley Waste Systems, Permiserv and Webaspx.
