Number of recycling sites could be reduced
Following the successful expansion of the household recycling scheme by Derbyshire Dales District Council a year ago, there has been an increase of 1,106 tonnes of household waste recycled or composted.
The district council’s environment committee will consider today a request from H W Martin of Blackwell – which is contracted to manage the old recycle sites to which people take their waste – in a bid to reduce the number of the old–style ‘bring’ sites in the Dales from 98 to 33 and enable the company operate a reduced service at no cost to the council.
