Pilsworth Environmental Company was established in 1997 to distribute grants from the Pilsworth Landfill site.

It is a joint venture with Viridor Waste Management Ltd and Bury MBC, and works with local authorities and community organisations to deliver environmental and community benefits through giving grants to a wide range of projects.

Projects within a ten-mile radius of the landfill site may apply for grants that meet the requirements for eligibility.

Funding to Pilsworth Environmental Company comes from Viridor Credits, the EB established by Viridor to distribute their landfill tax credits.

Pilsworth Environmental Company is about to celebrate 10 years supporting the local environment of Bury & the surrounding area.
