The Bluetree Group, of Brookfields Park on Manvers Way, is now having its trimmings and offcuts dealt with by Attercliffe-based waste specialist Russell Richardson.

The Sheffield firm has shipped three vast compactor skips to the Manvers operation which can offload or recycle 160 tonnes of its scrap paper per month.

Russell Richardson’s sales manager Nicky Hellewell said: “Bluetree is our biggest client to date in terms of tonnage and we are proving we are more than capable.

“We have three compactor skips, each with a 14-tonne capacity, on site and collect on a rotational basis six days a week.”
