RECYCLING

Motion Text

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.
