Great to be on BBC Radio Scotland this week talking all things bins and waste. Joining Stephen Jardine (BBC Radio Scotland presenter @StephenJardine) with Margaret Bates (Professor at the University of Northampton @WasteReader) to discuss what it means for residents who are experiencing bins collections reducing.

A little bit more about me; I have completed a bachelors of science degree in Geography and Environmental Science from the University of Dundee, and a Masters in Environmental Protection and Management at the University of Edinburgh.
I currently work for the international development charity, Tearfund, as their Scotland COP26 Advocacy and Campaigns Coordinator, and run the social media channel for Bin Twinning, a new sustainability platform to help support recycling and waste projects around the world.
