Councillor Malcolm Cowan helps a local resident to empty his household recycling bin into our plastics collection bag during a recent plastics recycling event at the Free Church car park in Welwyn Garden City.

The Liberal Democrats held a recycling event on 11th March in the Free Church car park. The recycling fight goes on as we continue to push the Conservative administration to increase the range of items to be collected.

Do you want plastics, cans and cardboard recycled? If you do, please bring your plastics along to the next recycling event held by local Lidems at the Free Church car park. See our events page for details. Vote for the LibDems who will continue to fight for recycling of plastics and other reusable items.

Did you know:

The Council is already paying to turn plastic bottles into landfill.

Plastic bottle make up about 10 per cent of household waste.

Recycling these at little or no extra cost, via kerbside recycling schemes, could help to produce useful end products, like the new benches at Stanborough Lakes, which are produced from recycled plastic.

Over 75 per cent of local councils are now recycling plastic bottles, but our Tory led council still does not.
