RECYCLING

Early day motion 1402, tabled 30 April 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 32 members.

That this House congratulates those local councils which have reduced the amount of material going to landfill by recycling food waste; notes that the methane gas produced by landfill sites significantly adds to global warming; welcomes the introduction of improved recycling-collection vehicles which can take all recyclables in one journey, cutting down on mileage, saving money and reducing carbon emissions; and calls on the Government to increase pressure on local councils to improve and encourage recycling facilities and collection.
