RECYCLING
Target 45+ will raise recycling
Target 45+ will provide new facilities to help increase recycling and composting to 45%.
New facilities will be developed to help Hull and East Riding to reach 45% recycling and composting.
This work has already started with the opening of the new Burma Drive Recycling Centre in Hull and new recycling facilities at Carnaby, near Bridlington, in East Riding.
Now, WRG is bringing forward proposals for more recycling facilities - at Gallymoor, near Holme upon Spalding Moor and at Salt End.
The site at Gallymoor already includes a landfill and household waste recycling centre. WRG wants to develop more facilities for recycling and composting. A facility is proposed to collect together up to 10,000 tonnes a year of paper, glass and metal separated by households at home. New composting facilities are also proposed, able to take up to 50,000 tonnes a year of garden and kitchen rubbish.
At Salt End a new facility to collect together up to 38,000 tonnes a year of paper, glass and metal to be collected by the councils through kerbside recycling schemes. Rubbish which has not been recycled will be used to generate electricity, through Energy from Waste technology.
You can find out more information on the proposals by going to the page for each site.
