LSS Waste marks 35th anniversary with rubbish cake
LSS WASTE Management has marked its 35th birthday with a cake that can only be described as rubbish!
The cake, which was made for the Leeds- based total waste management provider by Board to Tiers, was inspired by the company’s Big Yellow Skips business strapline.
Founded by Nigel Woolford in 1984, LSS started life as Leeds Mini Skips with just 10 skips, which were painted bright yellow so that they were easily identifiable as LSS skips. The company quickly gained a reputation for excellent reliability and customer service and moved from its original site to Rothwell
in 1987, where it spent 18-years before relocating to its current Cross Green site.
Since then LSS has grown from strength to strength, and today has a fleet of 75 vehicles, and a nationwide service offering.
“Looking at LSS today, it’s a million miles away from those 10 skips and one truck that I started out with 35 years ago,” said Nigel. “But one thing has never changed – the business’ ethos. We want to deliver the best possible waste solutions service for our customers, whether it’s for a major commercial project or providing a single skip to a house in Headingley.”
Full marks for Binn Group in global certification
PERTHSHIRE-based Binn Group has become the first recycling and resource management company in Scotland to receive top tier certification from global assessment body NQA.
The company has earned ISO 45001 status, marking it out as having the highest level of certified Occupational Health and Safety management systems. Binn Group Commercial Director Jim Brown said the landmark certification was "a tremendous achievement".
"We were not obliged to achieve this level of certification," Jim said, "but we decided to go for it to guarantee we had attained the highest possible standards to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff and clients.
"It has been a lot of hard work and extremely challenging but our success sets Binn Group apart as a company that goes the extra mile to demonstrate our commitment to health and safety and the environment we operate in.
"This is hugely significant in an industry that historically did not enjoy a great reputation for health and safety," he added. "It shows that Binn Group is one of the new generation of recycling and resource management companies that

takes this aspect of their work extremely seriously and demonstrates enviable credentials to prospective and existing clients."
Stephen Burt of NQA congratulated everyone at Binn Group on their groundbreaking certification. He said: “I am extremely pleased to be able to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of
Binn Group in achieving this certification, marking a major milestone for the company in its continued commitment to worker Health and Safety. ISO 45001 requires demonstrable leadership to Health and Safety management, and everyone at Binn Group has very effectively demonstrated this in their health and safety culture, performance, compliance and related improvements.”
