Kingston Maurward College

• Kingston Maurward College has worked closely with Aramark (the College's catering contractors) to recycle spent cooking oil from the kitchens to power a "Green Tractor"  used at the College to teach tractor driving skills to its students. The oil is taken to Bridport TLC where it is washed and filtered to remove excess glucose. It is then returned to the College, and the tractor tank is filled up!
