WASTE RECYCLING
East Riding presented with recycling league champion trophy
EAST Riding of Yorkshire Council has been recognised for topping the Recycling League of England’s local authorities with a recycling rate of 64.8% for 2018/19.
On 10 February and in the wake of figures published by the government in December, the authority was officially presented with the trophy for ‘Local Authority Recycling League Champion for England’ .
The council’s success has been praised by Environment Minister, Rebecca Pow, whose remit covers environmental issues including waste and recycling.
At an event held at East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s depot in Willerby, the council’s Leader Councillor Richard Burton received what is the inaugural trophy for the top recycling council.
Councillor Burton said: “I’m extremely proud to accept this award on behalf of
our waste and recycling team, our dedicated bin crews and the residents of the East Riding.
“Our residents are a hugely important part of our team. Without their continuing support for all our recycling schemes we wouldn’t be able to recycle as much as we do.”
The award was presented by Steve Eminton, editor of
letsrecycle.com, which records local authority recycling rates. Mr Eminton said: “We are delighted to present the trophy to East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 64.8% is a phenomenal achievement, some 20% higher than the average for English local authorities.”
The wooden leaf trophy was made by the Community Wood Recycling charity from waste wood reclaimed from construction sites.
