Introducing Lancashire Community Recycling Network

A warm welcome to the Lancashire Community Recycling Network! This website is designed to provide information about our Network and its activities and to promote our members.

The Lancashire Community Recycling Network:

Lancashire Community Recycling Network (Lancashire CRN) is a not-for-profit members’ organisation which aims to support and promote organisations involved in waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting within Lancashire.

We are a hub of best practice and offer support to members by providing information and guidance, networking and communication opportunities, project support and project funding. We also offer recognition and promotion for their work which delivers environmental, social and economic benefits to Lancashire and beyond.

Membership is open to individuals, not-for-profit and charitable organisations. We work with emerging community waste organisations or existing community organisations that wish to diversify into waste management. Associate membership is open to public sector and for profit organisations also seeking to advance their organisations' objectives.

Lancashire CRN has a diverse and vibrant membership base - you can find out more about all of them through the Our Members tab.

Each membership year starts on 1st April and you can join any time! For more information about joining our Network and for our membership form click on the Join Now tab.

Lancashire CRN receives ongoing support from Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council through the Lancashire Waste PFI Project and is coordinated by Global Renewables on the Authorities' behalf.
