Reversing training
Cheshire West Recycling will be holding a training day on Saturday 26th June to refresh the knowledge of our crews on reversing procedures and assistance techniques.   Bespoke videos created by Pristine Condition, the providers of Cheshire West Recycling’s manual handling training, will be used during the training day to demonstrate best practice and cover the safety protocol our crews are required to use whilst carrying out their daily rounds.

Recently, to reduce the risk of potential incidents occurring whilst carrying out daily duties, Cheshire West Recycling investigated and re-evaluated the route risk assessments of each collection round to eliminate reversing wherever possible for all routes.

Electric vehicle trial

ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRIAL

Having now trialled the new eCollect all electric vehicle at our Winsford Hub, it’s now making it’s way over to our Canalside Hub for workers to try out on their rounds from Monday 19th.

The Dennis Eagle’s eCollect is a 27-tonne eRCV which, by producing zero emissions, helps operators to improve local air quality and tackle climate change. The assessments and opinions gathered during this trial will be used to determine whether all electric vehicles can effectively replace the current diesel fleet.

Thank you to CWR crews

NURSERY CHILDREN SEND THANKS TO CWR CREWS

Crews at Winsford Hub recently received a heart-warming package of handmade cards and thank you pictures from Acorn Childcare Nursery in Hartford, Near Northwich, where the pre-school children had been learning all about recycling.

The Nursery informed CWR that the little ones had been dressing up as bin men and ladies and even made their own bin wagon. The cards were made by the children to thank CWR crews for all that they do, and images of our crews receiving the cards were sent back to the nursery for their Sustainability display.
