T is just over a year since the Ribble Valley's three-stream waste collection was introduced. The first stage of the service


started in 2003 and by 2006 some of the Valley's 24,505 properties were trialling wheelie bins. By July last year the final


introduction phase had been completed. Now not only is the Valley meeting


its local targets for its recycling performance - it is also meeting national targets. Peter McGeorge, the borough's


Waste Management Officer, said although the three-stream collection service was not completed until July 2008 the recycling rate for 2008/09 was 37.87% up from 26% in 2007/08 and the council has already surpassed its 2009/10 target. Peter said: "The total amount of

municipal waste in the Ribble Valley reduced by nearly 3% in 2008/09 from the previous year with the reduction in waste sent for disposal down 18% on the previous year. This

The recyling bins are attached and emptied into the wagons. A140909/1d no success


clearly indicates there is an awareness by the general public on waste issues leading to a reduction in the amount produced for disposal/collection. "The good support that we get


from the public shows through the performance targets that we are meeting. "Although we do enjoy high levels


of participation we don't sit on our laurels. We still look at whether we are achieving everything we can and we still have to find ways of encouraging people to segment their refuse properly." Education is a key factor to


continued improving performance and Peter is currently reviewing the council's education and awareness strategy, which he presented to members of the Community Committee in July in its draft version. Councillors asked him to put together an action plan with ideas for campaigns and initiatives by September. A review is also being undertaken


of the borough's 22 public recycling centres. Peter said: "We are looking at the possibility of collecting different types of materials, as currently some of the centres double up on materials that are already collected at the kerbside." Another initiative which is aimed at


encouraging recycling across the Ribble Valley is the introduction of new two-stream public waste bins. Colour coded to match household wheelie bins, the new units have been located at specially selected sites across the borough. • Waste collected kerbside in the


Valley is initially taken to the council's waste transfer station at Salthiil. From the two buildings, one for residual waste, the other for recycling, the materials are bulk hauled to the relevant factories or markets. The core-mingled recycling material from the blue bins is taken to Barnsley where it is separated and recycled: residual waste is sent to Accrington and green waste is composted locally.
