Dudley trialling enhanced recycling scheme
Residents in a suburb of Birmingham will be taking part in a trial for recycling over the coming months. In order to reach the recycling targets that have been set by the government, Dudley Council are going to be trialling an enhanced recycling service. The plastic bottle and cardboard recycling trial will only be done on certain street in Dudley but it could be rolled out across the borough and it could become a nationwide scheme.
Each of the households will be given new recycling bags, one of which will be use for cardboard and paper with the other being used for plastic, tins and drink cans. They will be collected on a fortnightly basis along with other household waste.
The Council is hoping that by introducing an enhanced recycling scheme that more people will become interested in recycling and start to make a difference. There are still householders that do not recycling because they think that it is too difficult, however, in actual fact, recycling is really easy and it can be accommodated into your daily routine very easily. By having separate bags for recycling, it can be sorted without much fuss and all you will need to remember is to put your bags out on the right day.
Comments (0)Protesting against a waste incinerating in North Yorkshire
There have been protests in North Yorkshire this week against plans to build a waste incinerator. The residents who have been protesting against the waste incinerator have been calling for better recycling facilities, however there is an argument that suggests there is nothing better than incinerating some of the waste that is put into a household or business bin for disposal.
According to local records, recycling rates in the area of Harrogate have been appalling in comparison to the rest of the county. However, the residents are arguing that if recycling can be improved in the area, there won’t be any need for the incinerating plant. However, encouraging individuals as well as businesses to recycling is very difficult and there will need to be a vast improvement in the services which are provided by a local authority.
However, the North Yorkshire County Council realise that there will always be a need to incinerate and treat waste so there will always be a need for the incinerating plant. They are arguing that the proposals for the incinerating plant will not be a replacement for recycling facilities but it will be a complimentary facility to the other facilities that are offered by the County Council.

In order for Britain to truly manage the amount of waste that we send to a landfill site, we need to encourage individuals to start recycling in their home and think about what they are putting into their general household waste bin. There are many ways in which to deal with recycling and most local authorities provide recycling facilities to their residents. It would be surprising to see how many people don’t actually recycle because they think that it would be too difficult.
In actual fact, if we tackle those who recycle at home, we will be able to seriously get a grip on the amount of waste that we are sending to landfill sites and what we are sending to recycling plants. It is important to reduce the amount of waste we are sending to a recycling plant in order to make a serious impact on the environment and make the environment better for the future.
We all need to take responsibility for what we are putting into our rubbish bins on a daily basis and by encouraging recycling; we can significantly reduce the amount we send to landfill sites. Not only is this for our generations but it will make a difference for the future too.
Comments (0)Bad smells coming from food recycling plant
There have been protests in Wales this week over a food recycling compound that is omitting awful smells. Residents who live near to the food recycling compound in Gelligaer have come out in force to complain en masse about the smells that have been coming from the plant located at a nearby farm.
According to the residents, the smells can travel as far as four miles from the site and have been causing serious problems to the local residents who have been unable to sit in their gardens or hang their washing out as a result of the smells.
Although the Environment Agency should be regulating compounds such as this, there appears to be a breach in the way that the compound is being run if bad smells are being omitted. However, this is only an individual case and it isn’t to say that this would happen at all food recycling plants.
As a country, Britain requires all sorts of different recycling plants in order to tackle the mammoth amount of rubbish that is accumulated by the British public. You would be truly amazing at the amount of rubbish that is thrown away that could potentially be recycled or reused in some way.
