Fly tipping forces removal of recycling banks
The recycling banks for cardboard, glass and plastic bottles, paper and clothes, have been targeted by fly tippers for months, despite being just 300 hundred yards from the local recycling centre.
Steve Read, Managing Director of Somerset Waste Partnership says, “It’s a significant problem. A minority of people see these banks as a dumping ground and the cleaning bill is picked up by the council tax payer. It also looks messy for Sainsbury’s who have been good enough to host the banks. Experience has shown the only truly effective action we can take is to remove them. Fortunately this part of Frome has other facilities and it’s only a short hop to the recycling centre, where all these materials and many more can be recycled.”
The recycling banks will be removed from the site on April 15th.
