The fourteenth annual waste industry 6-a-side tournament will see 24 mixed-gender teams go head-to-head for the prize of being the sector’s football champion.

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 are all due to take part.

The tournament also features team prizes including the Shield Competition, currently held by Resource Futures, the Bowl, taken home in 2015 by Viridor Athletic and the Plate Tournament, which was won by Grundon.

Competitors can even win up to £100 if they succeed in any of the Waste World Cup’s three challenges: the famous Taylor Bins Wheelie Bin Challenge, the Crossbar Challenge as well as a special surprise challenge for 2016.

Individual prize-winners in 2015 included Max Hadland, winner of the Crossbar Challenge-sponsored by Ceris Burns, and Veolia’s Michael Graves who won the Taylor Bins Wheelie Bin Challenge. Each of the three winners received a cheque for £100.
