RIBBLE VALLEY residents are being urged to rethink the way they deal with their waste paper as part of the Rethink Rubbish in Lancashire campaign. I t was launched in style by Couns Robert


Thompson and Stephen Sutcliffe, of Ribble Valley Borough Council. Coun. Thompson took delivery of a new kerb-


side collection sack from the Rethink Rubbish lady Jenny Hammond, who was wearing a unique dress made from Lancashire's newspapers. On receiving his kerbside sack, Coun. Thomp­


son said: “Ribble Valley Borough Council has taken great strides to make free kerbside paper collections available to as many residents as pos­ sible and over 80% of residents are currently sup­ porting the scheme, which is a remarkable figure. “The collection sacks make it so easy to recycle


waste paper and give us an extra chance to do something for our surrounding environment. Simply drop your waste paper in the bag given to you, put it out on the kerbside and it will be col­ lected and recycled.” Coun. Thompson added: “While more than


22,300 households in Ribble Valley have a doorstep collection service for their waste paper, there is still a significant amount being thrown away in the district each year. One of the most


common reasons people give for not recycling is that they don’t have the time to take their rub­ bish to a recycling site. “But the paper collection service makes it easy


fa'&itSW'Wiit


and convenient for everyone to recycle on their own doorstep and the Rethink Rubbish cam­ paign is helping to get this message across.” More than 1,500 tonnes of paper was collected


for recycling in Ribble Valley last year, under the scheme operated by SB Recycling of Bury in partnership with Ribble Valley Borough Council. A large proportion of the recyled paper is used to make newsprint for newspapers in Lancashire. That is the weight of more than 200 double deck­ er buses - if parked nose to tail they would make a queue of buses stretching for well over a mile.

All fired up for plot night


ALL the plans have been fully implement­ ed for what is expected to be Langho's biggest and best fireworks display and bonfire. The event, organised by the St Leonard's


Scout Group, has been an annual fixture in its fund-raising calendar for more than 30 years, but this year sees a move to a new location, which, along with a bigger expendi­ ture on fireworks, organisers hope will give them even bigger crowds than before. The bonfire has moved to the grounds of


Mytton Fold Hotel, following plans by the parish council to make alterations to the local park. The group has used the park for the past 10 years, however it would not be feasible to hold the event there this year. The event takes place on Saturday and the


bonfire is due to be lit by the new priest-in- charge at St Leonard's, the Rev. David Noblett, at 7 p.m. As well as the spectacular fireworks dis­


play, food and drink will be on sale, and a range of glowing accessories. There is an admission charge on the gate of


£2 for adults and £1.50 for children, but dis­ counted admission tickets are on sale at the Langho Spar for £1.50 and £1 respectively prior to the event. All funds raised in the evening go back to


the Scout group, to help with the upkeep and purchase of equipment required, in order to continue to provide the weekly meetings for more than 70 children aged between six and 14. Entrance to the event is via the public footpath off the main road, opposite the Petre Arms pub. No car parking at the hotel is permitted for those attending the event. Organisers stress the importance of not


taking private fireworks to the event, although sparklers are permitted to be used in the specially provided area. They are also keen to stress that they cannot accept any wood for the bonfire.

. Peter McGeorge, waste management officer for


Ribble Valley Borough Council said: “For resi­ dents who do not yet have kerbside collections schemes, the Rethink Rubbish campaign will also promote the use of other recycling facilities across Lancashire, such as the civic amenity sites and the bring-back sites in retailer car parks, which people can use for paper as well as recy­ cling glass and cans. “Ribble Valley currently recycles 15.8% of


household rubbish and we need to reach 36% by 2005. The Rethink Rubbish campaign aims to increase public awareness of the problem and to encourage people to take advantage of the free recycling schemes already available. “As paper accounts for around 25% of the


average household bin, recycling waste paper is just one easy way th a t will reduce the 18,000 tonnes of household rubbish thrown away in Ribble Valley each year.” The Lancashire Rethink Rubbish awareness


programme is funded by Lancashire Environ­ ment Fund and managed by Lancashire County Council with the aim of promoting the various recycling schemes implemented across the 14 dis­ tricts and unitary authorities in Lancashire. Rethink Rubbish in Lancashire links with the


national Rethink Rubbish campaign, which was launched in 2002 and is the first umbrella waste awareness programme in the UK to unite retail­ ers, local authorities and the waste management


sector to deliver a high profile and integrated consumer campaign, to reduce rubbish and increase recycling. A series of Rethink Rubbish initiatives is


planned in the Ribble Valley over coming weeks, designed to promote kerbside paper collections through poster advertising, links with local schools and retailers. For further information about the campaign or


general information on recycling, you can visit the Rethink Rubbish website (www.rethinkrub- bish.com). Our picture shows Coun. Thompson with t
