I recently talked to Redcar and Cleveland Trade Waste Leaders with a complete commitment to confidentiality so could only discuss information available on the internet and the Council website. I hope they found me helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. Over the last 6 months and prior to the meeting I viewed the Council website, talked to businesses and determined that I could help the businesses improve their recycle procedures, reduce waste and save this Council and the people it serves money. The most successful people in the world have coaches. If you employ me I will be the recycle coach. My job will be to help businesses recycle responsibly and save the Council money.
