Sheffield Wednesday scores two-year partnership with recycling specialist

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club has announced a new two-year partnership with recycling company, DJB Recycling Limited.

DJB Recycling will provide a total waste management solution for the Championship club.

The contract will cover all aspects of waste and recycling collections at the stadium, club megastore and the training facility at Middlewood Road.

Richard Webster, business development manager at DJB Recycling, said: “It’s fantastic to forge a relationship with such a prestigious football club in Sheffield Wednesday.

“This partnership is a great addition to our customer base in the local area. We are looking forward to working closely with their operations team to implement a structured and reliable collection service, which maximises recycling materials.”

Richard Stanford, operations manager at Sheffield Wednesday, added: “We are proud to have DJB Recycling on board.

“Not only are they a local family run business, but they have a great reputation in the city. This partnership will improve the environment of the club and will enable us to create a more safer, greener and more friendlier space for our fans, staff, players and the local people - an essential part to the operational running of the club.”

DJB will be supplying more than 50 dedicated containers which will enable the club to segregate general waste, cardboard, paper and glass materials at source.

All materials will be separately collected and reprocessed at DJB Recycling and other local recycling facilities in the area. This will enable Sheffield Wednesday to achieve a ‘zero waste to landfill’, which in turn will reduce the clubs carbon footprint.
