A WASTE roadshow being staged in East Lancashire on Monday will be demonstrating that "where there's muck, there's brass."

More than 300 firms, local authorities and other organisations have signed up for roadshow hosted by TV presenter Judith Hann.

Environment minister James Clappison has praised local companies for making the Hyndburn event a sell-out.

He said: "This massive turn-out reflects intense interest among the business community in economic and ecological issues."

The roadshow at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors, is part of the government's Making Waste Work initiative.

It brings together businesses and other organisations that have benefited from introducing waste management policies, service providers and experts in waste management.
