Kidderminster Harriers and Bromsgrove District Council Waste Services partnership significantly enhances waste management at Aggborough Stadium.
Committed to sustainability, Kidderminster Harriers continue to succeed with efforts to improve their environmental impact thanks to their partnership with Bromsgrove District Council Commercial Waste Services, who have provided Aggborough’s waste solutions since August 2020.
The long-term, multi-faceted partnership is thriving following the introduction of an enhanced recycling programme at Aggborough which has resulted in an additional two tonnes of waste being recycled. The club is also soon to embark on a brand new food waste recycling initiative, whilst 100% of the stadium’s non-recyclable waste is now converted into renewable energy sources.
Martin Roche, Executive Manager for Commercial Waste at Bromsgrove District Council’s Commercial Waste Services, highlights the importance of the partnership, saying: “Football clubs are so influential, and their voices are heard far and wide.”
“Harriers have a loyal fanbase who support the Club in everything they do. The club are actively looking to make positive changes and encouraging fans to do more can have a real impact on how waste is perceived.”
Martin also expressed how the partnership benefits all parties.
“We’ve created a true partnership, developing an approach to working with the private sector, as well as supporting Harriers and their partners with a proactive, socially and environmentally responsible service that is flexible to their needs”.
A poll on Harriers’ official club app revealed that approximately 75% of supporters believe it’s important for the club to be environmentally sustainable.
