Shanks hails green success in Glasgow

Waste management group Shanks has been blowing its own trumpet, saying that the Silverburn Shopping Centre in Glasgow is no longer sending any of its waste to landfill since appointing Shanks to handle its recycling.

Shanks won the recycling contract just six weeks ago, and has been instrumental in ramping up the shopping centre's recycling rate from 9% to 97%. According to Shanks, this has resulted in a cost saving for the shopping complex of more than 50% per month, as the owners of Silverburn - property company Hammerson - had to pay to shed-loads of money to use landfill facilities.
