RECYCLING NEWS
There have been articles in the media about the problems that the nation faces, as the landfill sites currently used reach capacity. SLDC uses two landfill sites; waste from the south west of the district is sent to a site in Barrow, whilst waste from the rest of the district is sent to Lancaster. However these sites are nearing the end of their capacity and alternative arrangements will have to be made. This is likely to result in our waste travelling even greater distances, which will be both expensive and wasteful.
Many residents and visitors now recycle at least some of their waste, but most of us have some waste that cannot be recycled. We are asking everybody to think about the waste that they do not recycle and ask whether it is really necessary. 20% of the waste thrown away in this country is food waste, some of which could be composted. The Cumbria Waste Partnership has compost bins available from £6 including delivery. If you would like a compost bin log on to our website at www.southlakeland.gov.uk for more details.
If you have any questions about recycling or reducing the amount of waste you have, please contact us either through the Customer Contact Centre on 0845 050 4434 or by emailing us at recycling@southlakeland.gov.uk
Thank you for recycling.
