Green management of waste is definitely on the political agenda, but is
anything being done?
Despite the political initiative from Central Government, the availability
of landfill tax for distribution and financial support from Europe, the
recent experience here (the Rhondda) is that recycling appears to be going
into reverse.
Newspaper used to be recycled, but now we are dependent on initives from
outside the Borough to organise doorstop paper collection.
In the meantime some small businesses (who get neither praise nor financial
support) are quietly engaged in activities which reduce the amount of material
being rejected as waste
Reuse. Finding someone who can use others are thowing away - sellers of
used goods of all sorts.
Lifetime extension. Repairing or upgrading things so that people can
continue to use them for longer.
Recycling. Taking materials or components and turning them into something
else.
If your business includes the above activities, contact the Webmaster and
get a free mention here.
Before throwing anything out, see whether any of the businesses below can
use it.
Remember, what you throw away doesn't just disappear. In landfill sites
it can be a potential nuisance for a long time to come.
