Talking Rubbish

Posted on DateJuly 22, 2011 by AuthorEmily Dodd

Earlier this month we launched our new Zero Waste Podcast series with a podcast that took you from bin to bucket-lorry, from claw to compactor, from train to tipping on The Journey of Waste. Today's podcast is a wee extra, just because the guys had so many wonderful stories, it seemed a shame not to share the best with you.

Meet the men who work with our waste at Powderhall Leith. Weapons in the bin, animal antics and the baby born on the landfill site. Welcome to a Zero Waste Podcast 'Extra', the Chronicels of Waste:

 Zero Waste Podcast Extra: The Chronicles of Waste (mp3)

Thanks to the brilliant staff at Powerhall Waste Transfer Station and Dunbar Viridor Landfill Site. 

The Zero Waste Podcast series is produced by Emily Dodd for Greener Leith and funded by City of Edinburgh Council Waste Action Grants, Vegware and Changeworks. 

If you have iTunes installed on your computer you can subscribe to our audio as a podcast by clicking here. 

The theme tune for the podcast was brought to you by Waste Action Grant funded project, Trash Arts.
