Get serious about recycling.
We, the undersigned call on Gedling Borough Council to take recycling seriously, to bring back the ‘bring’ recycling sites and to devise and implement a comprehensive, meaningful recycling policy with measurable targets and to publish an annual recycling progress report.
Why is this important?
When it comes to re-cycling, Gedling Borough Council rates a poor 260th out of 350 English local authorities. Gedling re-cycles only 36.7% of its domestic waste compared to the national average of 45.2%.
Gedling’s announcement that it intends to be a ‘Plastic Clever Council’ is welcome but has to be seen in the context of its recent closure of 6 local ‘bring’ recycling sites and the earlier cancellation of its commercial recycling collection service.
