Return of The National Refuse Championships
The new and improved National Refuse Championships are returning and taking place at Weston-super-Mare seafront on Saturday 10 June.
Formerly known as the World Refuse Championships, the charity event last took place in 1995, and involves 32 teams and 160 participants competing in a relay race of strength, fitness and endurance. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Alzheimer’s Society.
The idea to revive the event belongs to Spencer Law, Managing Director of Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS): “I was talking to some colleagues from my days at Jack Allen, one of the founders of the original event, and we agreed it was a real highlight.
Laura Hewitt, Community Fundraiser at the Alzheimer's Society said: "It's fantastic RVS have chosen to unite with us against dementia, and we're delighted to be chosen as their charity partner for the National Refuse Championships.”
Each team comprises of five people (including one driver) working in pairs and taking turns to run, load a large wheelie bin with stones and push it 50m to an awaiting truck to empty it. Spencer added: “We’ve updated the event to move with the times and there will be an emphasis on modern day health and safety practices, utilising new technology such as vehicle tracking and the latest safety equipment.
“We’ve created an exhibition area so that it can be used as an opportunity for colleagues, customers and suppliers to get together, as well as have a fun day out.”
To enter a team costs £1500, which includes a range of additional benefits such as advertising.
