WHITE Recycling has become official sponsors of Burnley FC.

Having recently made the acquisition of Enviro Skips, the company wanted to continue its tradition of sponsoring the Premier League football club.

The business, which has been going for more than 50 years, has sites in Manchester and Liverpool, and recycles or recovers 150,000 tonnes of waste a year. Chris Naylon, group commercial manager, said: “With our business headed up by director and former Manchester City football player, David White, we have a history, and keen interest in football, and we wanted to continue our links with the national game.

“With our new site located in Burnley, we want to demonstrate our commitment to the local community and could think of no better way than sponsoring the club – we’ll be cheering them on this season.”

White Recycling will be removing the mixed waste after all home games and processing it through their advanced facility in Hapton.
