A LUCKY 13 have now signed up to the Grime's A Crime Business Code of Conduct on Waste Management.

The Roll of Honour aims to highlight district firms that have agreed to a set of guidelines including keeping premises clean, checking waste containers and practising recycling and safe storage of waste.

Wyre Forest District Council has stepped up its drive to recruit businesses to the code, with information being sent to 1,000 firms last week.

The latest batch to sign up are Kiddies Day Nursery, Midland Technical Translations, Kidderminster-based West Mercia Probation Service, Rotary Printers and Peter Handley Stationery.

Thirteen businesses have now been awarded a two-year certificate and are entitled to advertise their involvement in the scheme by using mascot Mr Grimestopper on official paperwork and letter headings.
