Litter pickers in Sudbury collected more than 100 bags of rubbish from the Chilton industrial estate in just five hours.

In September, Sudbury Community Wardens and staff from Antec International-LANXESS picked up over 90 bin bags of general rubbish and 14 bags of tin cans on the estate in just five hours.

Sudbury community warden manager, Bradley Smith, said: “It was a pleasure to be asked by LANXESS to work with them on their performance culture day.

"It proves that close collaborations with local companies leads to a positive working partnership which can achieve great results and have a positive impact on the local environment and communities.

"Everyone that took part is a credit to LANXESS with many of them expressing an interest in getting involved in future volunteering activities."

Head of operations and plant management at LANXESS’, Dene Bates, said: “Everyone embraced the exercise enthusiastically and we are all very proud of what we achieved.”
