Bins Boost Recycling
December 1, 2006 10:46 PM
Liberal Democrat Councillors Vanessa Pedder (Vice-Chair of Uttlesford's Environment Committee), Mark Gayler (Leader of the Council) and Alan Thawley (Chair of the Environment Committee) with the wheelie bins that have boosted recycling in Uttlesford.
The government's Audit Commission has praised Liberal Democrat-led Uttlesford District Council for introducing the new three-bin recycling system and for taking difficult decisions and 'bold steps'.
They said that the previous recycling system inherited from the last Tory administration was not good enough, with too much household rubbish being sent to landfill.
Chair of the Environment Committee, Lib Dem Cllr. Alan Thawley said: "The new system is already producing results, with a major reduction in the amount of refuse we send to landfill and a huge improvement in our recycling performance. I am delighted that the hard work of the Council in planning the new service has been recognised by the report."
