Recycling

My last mailing today .... yes Dave your are right - the Council's priority
has to be to sort out the issue of recycling for flats and to deal with the
question of food waste - which should never go in landfill ..... I will be
pushing hard for that to be done as quickly as possible . There is also
the question how we ensure that business and trade waste is recycled (just
so you know the Council is responsible for domestic waste but not
commercial waste - nevertheless we must use what influence we have. ) There
will be a big push to continue the increase in recycling rates , amongst
other things because landfill taxes will be increasing and it will cost a
lot more to put material in landfill. There will be consultation soon on
how we go forward over the next ten years under what will be called the
"Waste management Plan", which will be looking at things like carrots (as
well as sticks) - any innovative ideas etc. - More information to come
about how that is going to work when I have it.
I hope we can get away from talking about "rubbish" as something you "throw
away" (there is nowhere to "throw" it) and see material as a resource -

What a load of rubbish - please pass on to the co
uncil black bag
snoopers
I have asked the council for recycling bins and they have refused as I live
in a block of flats (15 flats), which I think is out of order
I have to drive from Hove to Shoreham to recycle my cardboard and plastic
bottles
