Keenan makes Central Belt appointment

Keenan Recycling, an Aberdeenshire-based organics recycling company, has appointed Malcolm Coppins as the company’s central Scotland food waste collections manager to oversee collections of organic waste from businesses in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The company, which transforms 60,000 tonnes of food and garden waste a year into compost for farming and horticultural use, has recently invested £700,000 in a new fleet of six lorries to meet the demands of its new Linlithgow-based Central Belt service.

Mr Coppins has held a number of key management and operational roles at leading names in the industry. He will use his experience to oversee the operation of the base as the specialist firm works to help companies comply with new regulations on waste recycling which came into force at the beginning of the year.

Mr Coppins said: “Managing the daily operations of Keenan Recycling’s newest base is a great challenge and I am enjoying my role. I look forward to the growth of the company in the Central Belt as new rules and regulations are implemented.”
