HARROGATE RECYCLING SERVICE IN FOR A MAJOR OVERHAUL
HARROGATE’S much criticised recycling system looks set for a complete recall.
Plans put forward include adding cardboard and plastic bottles to kerbside collections, replacing the black sack service with wheelie bins, and a weekly collection alternating between waste and recycling.
Grant Blakemore, from Friends of the Earth, has secured more than a thousand signatures from local residents demanding an improved service and has commented, “By signing our petition, the public is giving the council a clear message that they want to see a significant change in the recycling system.”
The Harrogate Post has revealed that last year the district was the lowest in terms of recycling household waste in North Yorkshire – at nine percent below the national target.
The council says the detail of its waste and recycling service will be planned with assessments for those in remote areas, unable to accommodate a wheelie bin.
