Teams from companies including Bagnall & Morris Waste Services, Biffa, Bywaters, Grundon, FCC Environment, Mick George, Saica Natur, Sharpsmart UK, Suez, Sweeep Kuusakoski, Taylor Bins and Wybone took part in the day’s competitions.
Other winners included Wybone, who won the Plate Tournament 1-0 against SWR Waste Management, Veolia with a 3-1 win against Mick George in the Bowl Tournament, and a 2-0 victory for SWEEEP against 1st Degree in the Shield Tournament.
