The Laundry nearly wins an award but doesn’t, however we do have (almost) famous customers which must count for something

COLLECTION CREW OF THE YEAR… WELL ALMOST

Yesterday, the Laundry West-End collection team (Bob, Osei and Erick) were to be found sipping Champagne in suits in The Savoy, a world away from their usual get up of high-vis vests, drinking Benjys coffees in the Laundry truck. The event was the letsrecycle.com Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management and they were one of three finalists for Collection Team of The Year. Unfortunately they were pipped to the post by a team from Daventry District Council who pick up recycling from farms and isolated cottages, which sounds like a bit of a holiday compared to negotiating narrow Soho streets and cabbies. But they did brilliantly to get into the final three and a fabulous time was had by all.
