This collaboration comes as the Society anticipates a “substantial increase in visitor numbers in the coming years”.
Jonathan Timney, director of estates at the Bristol Zoological Society, said: “Bristol Zoological Society is excited to be working in partnership with Grundon to ensure recycling and waste needs are met across our organisation.
“Grundon was selected as our waste management provider after a rigorous selection process. We believe Grundon will provide the insight and expert advice needed to enhance our recycling efforts and identify further improvements that support and reflect our worldwide conservation efforts, contributing to our mission of Saving Wildlife Together.”
Contract
As part of the pairs contract, Grundon will provide over 60 bins for mixed recycling, compostable packaging and other waste categories to the zoo, along with larger 1,100-litre bins in the service yard.
Additionally, two bins will be installed at the zoo’s head offices in Hollywood Mansion House, where Grundon will also provide shredding services.
Daniel Peacey, regional sales manager for Grundon, said: “It’s great to be working with such a high-profile Bristol organisation. The zoo will be a key client for us, and we’ll be bringing our full suite of services to them as they develop.
“Reporting is a big thing – we’ll be helping them identify potential improvements with real detailed analysis of their various waste streams and providing suggestions on how they can continue to generate even better recycling figures. Essentially, we’re looking to be a sustainability partner, not just a provider of services.”
