Our speaker this week was Andy Hay from the Binn Group. Binn Group is Scotland’s largest independent and leading provider of integrated recycling and Waste Management Services. They provide a comprehensive collection, processing and recycling solution, transforming waste into re-usable resources. In 2014 Binn Skips (Binnwaste Management) Ltd underwent a major rebranding aligning itself at the forefront of the country’s waste management revolution to become the Binn Group.Established over 20 years ago by father and son John and Allan MacGregor as a land diversification project on their estate at Binn Farm, Binn Group has quickly become a recognised and trusted name for all waste management needs for domestic and trade clients.Rapid growth has seen the company expand and evolve beyond the original landfill site provision and skip hire business to create Scotland’s largest and most diverse independent waste management operation, employing around 100 people.Now, as the company undergoes further expansion in response to increasing national focus on the waste management sector, the newly branded Binn Group is poised to drive waste management forward towards a more sustainable, environmentally friendly industry. Binn Group prides itself in offering an extensive range of services which focus on recycling, reuse, waste minimisation, landfill diversion, value for money and improving our environment. As one of Scotland's largest recyclers with over 20 years of waste management expertise, they have developed an innovative, creative and supportive environment that generates organic growth and brings economic and social benefits to employees, the community, businesses and the environment.
