Manchester, which roughly translates in to Latin as ‘hand-made fort’, sits within the UK’s second most populated urban area, the biggest of course being London. Manchester is home to the longest running soap opera in the world, Coronation Street, the most successful club in English football, Manchester United, and also the world’s first industrial estate, Trafford Park.
Business and industry has driven Manchester throughout its history, from the cotton mills that saw the city become the number one place in the world for cotton spinning during the industrial revolution, to the more financial and service based industries that the city is home to today.
The most high profile recent addition to the city is MediaCity. MediaCity is home to many divisions of the BBC, including BBC Sport, CBBC, Radio 5 Live, BBC Learning as well as the BBC Breakfast show. ITV also has presence at MediaCity, with Granada moving there from their old studios in 2013. Coronation Street had its entire set rebuilt on MediaCity. With the old Quays Street set being used for studio tours before closing at the end of 2015.

When it comes to recycling, Manchester is pushing for big things. At the moment, Manchester recycles 44% of waste produced, which is just above average. The national target is that 50% of all waste is to be recycled by 2020. The Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority, the ambitious organisation that it is, is targeting 50% in 2018. It’s a tough ask, but you can do your bit and ensure that the waste service you receive is the most comprehensive for your business.
Manchester is known for many things, from sport, to music, to TV and film, the city has always been able to influence outside the city as well as within. This is where Manchester can also be at the forefront of promoting more environmentally friendly methods of waste disposal.
Your business can be a part of influencing the whole nation to recycle more. With the UK average currently at 43%, there is a long way to go before the target is achieved. Will Manchester hit the target? “Tomorrow never knows what it doesn’t know too soon”.
