A word from our sponsor

"Donarbon Ltd. of Waterbeach is one of the leading waste management companies in the Eastern Region. It recently secured Cambridgeshire County Council's 28-year waste management and recycling contract, the centrepiece of which is a state of the art Mechanical Biological Treatment plant that will sort, recycle and compost all general household rubbish. The company is expanding and updating its in-vessel composting facility, which takes all household green waste across the county, plus it has a number of recycling contracts with other councils.

Donarbon also provides an extensive trade waste and recycling collection service to businesses, retailers and offices across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, using skips and wheeled bins of all sizes. Businesses can also deliver direct to its Waterbeach, Alconbury and Wisbech waste transfer stations, and Donarbon will sort and recycle mixed skip waste and compost green waste.

Donarbon has regularly supported local sports clubs, either through direct sponsorship or contributions from its landfill tax community fund, and the company is proud to be sponsoring the Ely Standard Service to Sport Award because it is the people shortlisted for this category who have given their time, mostly as volunteers, to make sport happen in our area, through coaching, organising or playing; they have shared their enthusiasm for sport with others and encouraged more people to take part and have been happy to work at all levels of their chosen sport no matter the weather or results, and we feel that this Award is due recognition for all their hard work in promoting and developing sport locally."
