The company
CrossCountry’s network is the most geographically extensive passenger rail franchise in Britain. Stretching from Aberdeen to Penzance and from Stansted to Cardiff, it calls at over 100 stations. Based in Birmingham, CrossCountry connects seven of the Britain’s 10 largest cities.
The solution
CrossCountry’s Sustainability Strategy is based on the principles of the circular economy, a business model which has been embedded into the company to meet the political and stakeholder aspirations of a modern, sustainable transport operator.
B&M Waste Services was asked to assist in the collection and recycling of 8 Service Centre Flat Bed Trollies that had reached end of life having been in service for ten years at CrossCountry’s Birmingham Service Centre.
The trollies were collected by B&M Waste Clearances Division and taken to the B&M recycling facility in Bromborough where they were placed in their metal recycling container, ready for forwarding to Wirral Metals for smelting.
B&M provide scheduled console secure shredding services for CrossCountry, as well as adhoc bag collections for confidential waste and one off site clearances. Each load is documented with a Certificate of Destruction and a detailed report will be issued for CrossCountry’s records.
