I am told that there are still some tickets available for this talk about Leeds’s bins.

It will be a whistle stop tour of everything from old landfill sites to the Leeds Bin App - so there really will be something for everyone with an interest in the things we throw away.

When people see how much food they’re wasting, by putting it in a separate bin, they want to do something to reduce it. Weekly #FoodWaste collections will give recycling in England a boost and help reduce the impact of food waste on climate change.

Last chance to book for tomorrow’s launch of ‘Before Grenfell: Fire, Safety and Deregulation in C20 Britain' Institute of Historical Research History & Policy. @shane_ewen, will be discussing the book with Peter Apps, Andy Slaughter & Deborah Garvie Shelter. Register: history.ac.uk/events/before-…

We all know I like bins. So imagine how much fun I had chatting to Lee Marshall about 1940s incinerators, explosive bones and work I’m doing with WRAP NGO to connect the history of recycling to the present day. Thanks for having me CIWM!
