Case study

Waste auditing to inform estate improvement plans

A waste management audit of the Grimsby Fish Merchants Association's (Grimsby FMA) 118 members was used by EMC staff to develop a plan to improve Grimsby Fish Docks waste management.

The dock estate in Grimsby suffers from problems of litter, broken pallets and polystyrene boxes which affects the livelihood of the Grimsby Fish Merchants Association (FMA) members.

EMC staff conducted the work on behalf of the Grimsby FMA in order to ascertain the extent of the waste problem by the use of questionnaire and telephone survey work. EMC staff then developed a waste management strategy and has helped to implement waste management solutions in conjunction with Grimsby FMA, North East Lincolnshire Council and Associated British Ports. The project identified a market for the waste materials most of which are now recycled.
