STOP, THINK, UNCOUPLE

It's embarrassing,  it's expensive for our customers and it regularly continues to happen across Organic Waste's treatment centres.

In a further effort to remind drivers not to drive away while their pipework is still connected to the discharge point Organic Waste is issuing drivers with suitably worded reminders on a series of vehicle cab air fresheners.

This will be a 12 month campaign changing the message and fragrance on a quarterly basis with the fragrances reflecting seasonal changes as the quarters roll by.

Rachel Creed, Organic Waste manager, said: 'At Organic Waste Health and Safety is not an optional extra. To date we have not had anyone injured in these incidents but to ensure that never happens we are determined to reduce the number of 'incidents' to zero.'

Despite Organic Waste News regularly reporting on the operational issues and financial consequences of these incidents the numbers remain worryingly high.

Rachel added: 'Alongside the air freshener campaign Organic Waste will, over the coming months, be rolling out a series of posters and banners at various sites around the region. I am hopeful that we can raise the profile and awareness of this issue to such a point that we can completely eliminate the problem and save everyone time, trouble and unnecessary cost.'
