Re-Cycling

Sadly, I'm going to miss the Labour Group discussion tonight, to help inform the plans being developed by Heidi Alexander (Deputy Mayor) to improve on our waste recycling targets. I did send her a suggestion about split street bins - good not just because a lot of litter collected is cans and bottles (assuming not too many kebabs get put in with them); but as a visible reminder to people of our (and their) commitment.

Worse still, I can't go on the Sustainable Development Committee visit to the 'Murf' (Materials Recycling Facility) in Greenwich, next Monday, to find out first-hand that they can indeed magically separate the tins, paper, glass and plastic - if they put it through a big enough mangle.

But I have bought myself a new folding bike from Decathlon!

It is indeed a shame you're not going to the waste recycling facility, as I won't believe it's possible to separate the waste until I hear an account of it from someone who has seen it with their own eyes!

Perhaps the Council could do a photo feature of it in their magazine?
