As I have 30 years in the Waste Disposal Industry, and who has experience of specifically the Morecambe FC Waste Disposal Contract, I'll jump in here if I may.
My previous employer in the Waste Industry (prior to them going bang....) had the contract for the disposal of waste from the Stadium, and, seperate wheelie bins were provided for plastic AND glass waste - both of which were segregated.
All glass bottles from the bar areas will currently still be going into specific glass bins, as will plastics, and as will cardboard waste.
For any plastics going into what is perceived as "general waste" bins, this waste is taken to an MRF (Materials Recovery Facility) where 100% of the waste is sorted and segregated by high tech and complex machinery and also manual handlers who man/lady the conveyabelts.
Plastics, glass and cardboard are seperated and processed for recycling, any NON recyclables are then bulked up and sent away for burning at an EFW Plant (Energy From Waste) which produces electricity for consumers and householders.
No waste of this type whatsoever goes to Landfill - Most companies have a Zero to Landfill Policy as standard.
It's annoying when watching the likes of Dragons Den and you hear entrepeneurs saying "and our packaging reduces landfill waste" because landfill nowadays is rarer than a decent refereeing performance. Hence why Salt Ayre Landfill and Cotestones Warton Landfill as examples both shut down and both sites are now covered over green areas.
And to see Deborah Meaden nodding and agreeing is unreal because she invested in a Waste Company !
Never forget your history
