On the up with Fyne Futures’ forklift

By CRNS

December 2, 2009

During its work last year diverting nearly 400 tonnes of kerbside collected recycling materials from landfill, Fyne Futures found moving the paletted cans and plastic bottles without the aid of a forklift to be a logistical nightmare. It also put considerable constraints on the organisation’s ability to develop.

A CRNS member based on the Isle of Bute, Fyne Futures won an INCREASE Small award, which enabled them to purchase a quality second-hand diesel powered forklift. Gone are the days of hiring a Manito or begging help from a local builder. The forklift, just like the kerbside collection vehicles, runs on 100 per cent bio-diesel made from used cooking.

A relieved Project Manager, Anne Shaw said: “Having our own forklift in full working order gives me peace of mind and releases staff to concentrate on collecting more recyclates”.
